Hi all,
I just installed (and subsequently uninstalled) DiscDefrag 3.4.0 (iirc the ver. no) and it installed some random crap. It changed my default search engine etc.
Now, I can easily undo these things ofc, but after a bit of searching on the web, i found that auslogics installed things like conduit software, a maleware. Indeed I found a so called search protect and uninstalled with with a proper uninstaller. It seems gone. The problem is that I have not found a single topic by anyone saying that discdefrag changed the browser to yahoo and installed search protect.
Hence it seems to be new and I am not sure if there was anything else that it installed that I missed. I had a look at the uninstaller and am running an antivirus but thing is, it may not find these small malewares that only change default browser search engine etc.
So anyone else had this? Does anyone know if there are other garbage dumped on my shiny PC?
Cheers guys.
