Adchoices and geobid (possibly others)

Please help me scrape this muck off my computer. Thanks. 

Do you have an ad blocker installed in your browser(s)? That would take care of ad choices. But some sites such as game sites

may not allow you to use their content unless you allow ad choices.

Use the programs below to clean, remove adware and remove malware.

Use CCleaner to remove Temporary files, program caches, cookies, logs, etc. Use the Default settings. No need to use the

Registry Cleaning Tool...risky. Pay close attention while installing and UNcheck offers of toolbars....especially Google.

After install, open CCleaner and run by clicking on the Run Cleaner button in the bottom right corner.

CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download

Malwarebytes - Clean Mode

• Download and install the free version of Malwarebytes
  Note: If you have Malwarebytes already installed, you don't need to install it again. Simply start from the next bullet point
• Once Malwarebytes is installed, launch it and let it update his database. You might have to click on the little arrow by Scan Status in the middle right pane for it to do so
• Once the database update is complete, click on the Scan tab, then select the Threat Scan button and click on Start Scan
• Let the scan run, the time required to complete the scan depends of your system and computer specs
• Once the scan is complete, make sure that the first checkbox at the top is checked (which will automatically check every detected item), then click on the Quarantine Selected button
  • If it asks you to restart your computer to complete the removal, do so
• Click on Export Summary after the deletion (in the bottom-left corner) and select Copy to Clipboard. Paste the content in your next reply

If you are unable to run a scan using MBAM:

Follow the instructions in the thread below. Make sure to download the MBAR linked in it. Let me know if you're not able to launch it and run a scan.

According Geobids website it has targeted you because you visited a website that uses them for targeted advertising. You can

block their ad and tracking cookies...third party cookies....from installing in your browser(s). Once blocked, run CCleaner to remove

the existing ones.

How to disable third-party cookies in all major web browsers

QUOTE from Geobids site: ......The retargeting of a previous site visitor is accomplished by placing an invisible tracking “pixel” on your site. This pixel then places a visitor-specific (invisible and anonymous) “cookie” on the visitor’s web browser. All cookied visitors are now part of your key advertising audience.

According to the website...those targeted ads could appear for 2 hours or 2 months.
