I ran the program, and after it was finished it rebooted the system, after that the ADW Cleaner program told me in a log file that it did remove the search certified toolbar and a few other toolbars like the AVG toolbar, the Incredimail toolbar and the Babylon toolbar. To keep my system as clean as it can possible be. I still use ADW cleaner in combination with CCleaner, AVG and Lavasoft Adaware (not inh the same time). Best of all AVG recognizes ADW cleaner as malware and added it to the quarantine of AVG virus scanner. All the above programs did not remove any toolbar. So you can see that this utility does work.Īlthough AVG said it did remove two trojans, it did not remove the Search Certified toolbar. The good thing of ADW Cleaner is that it’s freeware, so you can remove your unwanted programs without having to pay for it first. I can’t say if they are of any good because they might work or not when you pay for them. Well I didn’t pay any paid anti virus or anti malware program and that’s why these programs also didn’t remove anything from my pc. The paid programs did find the Search Certfied toolbar, but they begged me to pay them, and only if I would pay for their program they would remove the program. I tried several programs before I tried ADW Cleaner. That didn’t work, the Search Certified Toolbar hijack was still there. I also went to Google Chromes and Internet Explorer options and tried to change my search engines and start up page. I tried to remove the toolbar by changing the internet options startpage to another page. After reading the solutions on the forum I tried the suggestions on the forum. I checked some internet forums for a solution. I don’t like anything to open up in my browser if I didn’t install it on purpose. I had no problems with the toolbars that might have been on my pc already, but the Search Certified Toolbar was bugging me because I actually saw it on the first page when I opened my browser. The search certified toolbar was the first page that opened up when It opened on all the browsers that are installed on my pc. As a result of all this I now am more carefull in what I download and install on my pc. And if it didn’t install Search Certified Toolbar it probable does install other toolbars we both don’t want on our pc. And because I think it installed this malicious toolbar. I uninstalled Illivid because I think I don’t need it. I’ve installed iLivid on my pc before the Search Certfied Toolbar appeared, so the toolbar might be a result of installing Ilivid. My browser was hijacked by the Search Certified Toolbar.
