ClickPotato
« on: January 07, 2011, 11:05:44 AM »
Argh this is.....stupid.

We have some crappy adware thing on our laptop called ClickPotato...I tried removing it in the Control Panel (yeah it was under Software...weird for a virus?) and I tried removing via MSE.

Now, I did a full scan today AGAIN, and it found ClickPotato AGAIN.

Anybody knows how to remove the damn thing?

Maybe you should marry that thing since you love it so much. Do you want to marry it? WELL I WON'T LET YOU! How does that feel?
That thing is probably some sort of raw sewage container. Go ahead and rub your face all over it.

Hi alahuin,
I'll look into it later, I don't feel like messing with my system at the moment.
In the meanwhile, while I was waiting, I've also been searching.

Does this site look reliable? Not that I'm following that guide, but still ;)

Hmm..not according to the user comments lower down the page....
Also, I personally will not download any spy-removal tools or progs unless they are recommended by a friend....but then that's just me....

I only download officially known products, such as AVG, MSE, MacAfee (not that I want it), etc.

Actually I won't use that site to remove malware and stuff. I will only use it to find info.

Yes, good plan....
I would try the registry edits (after having backed up the registry first of course)...

I ain't gonna try messing with the registery unless it is really needed, though, because you never know what can happen.
Maybe I'll ask a good friend of mine to perform the edits as I am good at breaking stuff (yeah I even managed to make a hack for my own products by using an exploit LOL)

I owe you a big time. It seems I had lots of malware and stuff on this system, no wonder it is this slow...

And I wonder why it detects my own programs as Trojan.Agent.Gen, it are just programs compiled with Visual Studio...
