Hello everyone, I have a small problem that has been bothering me for a few days since a malware installed itself on my laptop following a download.. Usually, I am careful, but it seems that this time I was not.. So I looked for a solution, downloaded programs to clean my computer but nothing works, Taboola is still there. I tried Ccleaner, Adwcleaner without success. I am therefore asking the experts from Comment ça marche to help me.. This thing considerably slows down my computer, opens pages for me, imposes ads signed Taboola even though I have Adblock (I use Firefox). I am on Windows 8.
Thank you to anyone who can help me :)

Hello,

Follow this FRST tutorial: https://www.malekal.com/tutoriel-farbar-recovery-scan-tool-frst/
(and take the time to read it carefully to apply it correctly - everything is explained there).
Download and run the FRST scan, which will generate three FRST reports:
  • FRST.txt
  • Shortcut.txt
  • Additional.txt


Send these three reports to the site http://pjjoint.malekal.com as explained, and return with the three pjjoint links leading to these reports here in a new response so that we can review them.
