Miss Sunshine Adverts

[bigdave1954]

Hi. I have recently started getting loads of adverts popping up on my computer which say they are "powered by miss sunshine". I have run Norton several times and each time it has identified miss sunshine as a high risk and supposedly removed it, but "she" keeps coming back.

Any help appreciated.

Have you done a malware scan??

Try:

https://www.malwarebytes.org/

Download and install the free version and make sure you untick the box offering the full version 30 day trial and then do a full scan.

Download, install and run the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:
https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/
(NB: When installing it you'll encounter a pre-ticked option to take a free trial of the Premium version. Click to remove that tick!)

Don't be surprised if it takes ages to complete a scan. (Over half an hour is not uncommon). When it finds malware, use the 'quarantine' option to zap it.

I'll have to learn to type faster!

That usually happens to me Chris - makes a nice change for it to be the other way round lol :)

Thank you everyone. I have downloaded and run the recommended malware removal tool but unfortunately Miss Sunshine is still around and driving me mad. Anyone got any other ideas?

TIA
