1382567 2014-08-27 00:39:00 Does anyone know how the remove the freevideotool malware/virus which continually tells me that my browser (IE) is out of date, which it is not.
So far I have reset Google, done a system restore, deleted any reference to freevideotool from the registry, run free malwarebytes and mrt besides McAfee scans, all to no effect.
Any other suggestion would be gratefully received.
Thanks, Arjay

also check the Chrome & IE shortcuts themselves. Some malware actually changes the shortcut .

Right click, properties, target :make sure nothing has been tacked on the end
Eg " .....InternetExplorer\iexplore.exe start-a-virus"
