how to remove Ads by Strong Signal virus
I was trying to download a MOV player from CNet (never again) and now I am stuck with Ads by Strong Signal popping up all the time. Searching the internet is say to go to Add/Remove and remove it but is not there. I ran Malwarebite and Spyboot but no luck. Please help. Thanks

It’s very sad, but many of the software down-loaders / installers will trick you into installing not only their program, but other programs as well. You have heard of the fine print in shady contracts, right? Well, some installers you need to look at the itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print. You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program you want by using the recommended option. But if you use the Manual Option Instead, you discover all kinds of stuff that you do not even know what it is or what it does. From now on, everyone needs to Use The Manual Option to put a stop to this.
