I am helping a friend who responded to a pop-up ad and (yes!) paid for, downloaded and installed Malware Wipe.
I have followed the steps in this malware forum (many thanks to all who provide help here!!), and I appear to have removed Malware Wipe and a bunch of other spyware (SpywareNo, The Spy Guard, etc.) with AdAware and Spybot, then more with Ewido.
I have attached the Ewido scan report. Unfortunately, in Safe Mode, I could not see the whole Ewido screen on the LCD monitor, and I was unable to select all the suggested options.
I would appreciate the forum's feedback on any further action I should take.
