Better Surf is a pain in the butt to remove if you dont have the money that some of these sites want. I have researched this all day and it has so many "names" that it can be downloaded under that A LOT OF people dont see it in their programs list. I didnt! I thought my computer was safe because I have anti- virus and Malwarebytes on it. Every night I do a full scan using both but somehow my day has been turned into trying to find a tool that would remove it. Thanks freefixer without you I would still have that stupid program on my computer. I will be donating some money when I get paid. Its the least I can do!
