“Eliminate specific browser hijacking malware”

One of the most dreaded bugs or viruses that your PC can be infected by is the AboutBllank virus. AboutBuster allows you to specificially hunt and destroy this specific bug as well other hard to find spyware in particular, CWS.HomeSearch, CWS.MfPlay and CWS.SeDLL.

Most of these annoying pieces of spyware completely take over your navigator and take it different and sometimes harmful, directions. The program works by making a super fast analysis of your hard drive during which time it will soon detect whether or not any of the major culprits are on your system. It eliminates them on contact so you won't even been prompted whether you want to do that although you will be presented with a report as to how many were found.

The problem is that most of these types of Spyware are already detected and found by programs such as Adaware and SpyDoctor which also perform a range of other optimisation tasks which make this program look rather limited in comparison.

Nevertheless, if you suspect you've been infected with a browser hijacker and have had no success previously, this program is definitely worth a try.
