Complaints about Tube Dimmer:


I messed up and ended up downloading Visual Bee which I was able to remove thanks to this forum. However I still have this thing called Tube Dimmer which I can not get rid of. The AdwCleaner deleted the Visual Bee but is not picking up the Tube Dimmer.
Can anyone help me with this please? I use Mozilla FIrefox.

Tube Dimmer 2.6.43 continually attaches itself to my Firefox even after I removed it! I do not want it, I did not ask for; yet it keeps attaching itself. If this is the way of prompting this product, they should realize is not very productive and bad for business.
This type of Malware or behavior only angers me more. I want theTube Dimmer 2.6.43 out of my PC for good!

Hello, my name is Jim,

All this information might have been helpful had I not already uninstalled it as I would normally uninstall a program after I figured out that Tube Dimmer, (which I have no idea how I got) had to be the culprit.Double underline links everywhere and randomly taking me to websites I didn't chose, and voice ads that sneak up and scare the heck out of me. I'm guessing since I did the uninstall before I found out about the stuff you instruct about here, no Tube Dimmer showing up in Task Manager, none of the list of associated files nor vicious registry files you list are found, and no RegCure Pro found at the Program Uninstall.

Yet the Tube Dimmer crap keeps happening no matter how many times I remove it from Firefox add ons.
