My younger brother has been using my laptop quite often recently, I have started using it again and every time I load google chrome it automatically loads a search engine named "youndoo". I have deleted any file I can that has anything to do with this & I have also reset what search engine my browser automatically loads. I can't get rid of it and I don't know what to do.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Murrxy.

That's a definitely some sort of virus, have you restarted your laptop since removing the file? If no do so as it usually requires a system restart to remove the file.

If this is still happening after you have restarted the computer it is a definate virus.

Most likely you have already done this but give it a clean with CCleaner Norton and all that sh** doesn't work.

CCleaner will romove any unwanted files from the computer such as anything hidden in your downloads or files etc.

Let me know what happens.

It's a virus, you will have to find a cleaner for it.
