Question
Hi, I have a problem with removing DealHelper from my PC. I've tried using Ad-aware and Spybot but both are not able to remove DealHelper from my computer.
So what should I do to remove it from my computer?
You can install the trial version of F-secure Internet Security at http://www.f-secure.com/home_user/support_and_downloads/evaluations/
It removes adware and spyware as well as viruses. If you already are running another antivirus program, you need to turn it off before running F-secure or else the two programs will fight each other.
In the future you usually can avoid these sorts of infections by using the Firefox browser, free from Mozilla.org instead of Internet Explorer.
