Malware from YTD Downloader! HELP!

In a rush, I stupidly downloaded YTD Downloader... Then i read the reviews... http://download.cnet.com/YTD-Video-Downloader/3000-2071_4-10647340.html


It has affected all sorts on my computer, chrome, safari, Internet speed, screen settings.


I need to help to remove all the Malware from my computer and brink it back to the way it was running last week.


A step by step guide would be greatly appreciated...

Try running this program and then copy and paste the output in a reply. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read.

Joe, your link goes to Softonic, which is a known scam site. They wrap downloads in their own adware installer, which installs the nefarious and hard-to-remove Genieo adware. Not all downloads are wrapped this way, and they change periodically, so it's hard to predict which will behave this way and which won't.


Please, never recommend a Softonic link again, and those reading, do not download the software from that link!
