Hi edwin,
Your first problem is having Spyhunter, that program is more like rogueware than a security scanner.
Remove it with THIS program as it works on 64bit level.
What Anti Virus do you use?
Security scanners (not AV's) I like to use are MBAM and SAS.

im using avg free 2014
RE: skypeemoticons help - GuiltySpark - 09-13-2014
Did AVG detect it as skypeemoticons or spywarehunter?
If it was something downloaded then check THIS thread for details on how to remove it.
And please annihilate that dubious program (spywarehunter).

I see, it's showing up in your browser(s) ok its more than likely an add on, what browser are you using?
RE: skypeemoticons help - edwin - 09-13-2014
using firefox

RE: skypeemoticons help - GuiltySpark - 09-13-2014
A Restart or Reset of FF the two are different.
A Restart is a simple browser close and re-open.
A Reset is a full refresh of the browser entirely.

sorry i dit aherinitialiseren still i take problems i do think i need a reformat win7:S
RE: skypeemoticons help - GuiltySpark - 09-13-2014
Is the problem still there?
If so download and run adwcleaner when it opens select Scan.
Then select Clean.
It will then ask to restart your computer, allow it.
You will then be presented with a text file of the issues it cleared up, you can post them here if you are unsure.
