Case three: I have repeatedly disabled and removed Websteroids from my extensions list, uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, deleted files with the Websteroids name on it, uninstalled it and Mumble, and any other files/programs that I could find from that date.I've run my antivirus program (AVG), spybot s&d, and lavasoft ad aware and followed the advice from their scans.

What is Websteroids and how did it get into my PC?

Websteroids is a malware which has disturbed computer users to enjoy a wonderful online experience so much. Usually, Websteroids malware gets into the target PC during some free software setup process as the creators of Websteroids are so tricky that put the active codes of Websteroids into these freeware.

Websteroids gets the chance to sneak into your PC when you install these freeware from unreliable source. Also, Websteroids can infiltrate into the PC via email attachments. Therefore, you’d better not open the email attachments that come from unknown people.

After getting into the target PC, Websteroids works by installing a browser extension in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome. Users many find that a search toolbar has also been installed on their PC without their permission. Then Websteroids highlights words in text documents which, when scrolled over, lead to some advertisements. The claim of the Websteroids website is that it turns a webpage into a meteoroids game.

Computer users also notice that their PC performance declines dramatically and there is a lot of PC issues turning up, such as the poor running speed, windows freeze and the internet disconnection.
