How can I permenately get rid of everything associated with MindSpark?
I have been fighting MindSpark for some time. The program hijacked my browser. I finally got rid of it about a month ago but now it is back. I just loaded your new browser, but when I open the browser to go to a program I get "Big Game Countdown by MW" I know that that is MindSpark. I can go to Private Browsing and get Firefox back, but I am not sure it is safe. The alien page is still in the background and I cancel it. It is easy at 84 to sometimes forget to do that step. What can I do? I use Norton protection but it doesn't seem to consistently catch the hijacker. Help!
