Go into my computer, into C:// and find a folder called program files. It should be in there, just delete it from there :)

[Andy]

Yeah you can delete it to recycle bin buts its set itself as my home page so suspect its a trojan

Download the free edition of this: http://www.malwarebytes.org/

Let it do the updates and then do a full scan. If it comes back clean come back for more info to remove the app.

[Jack]

Do you want to delete a program or a file? An FLV is a file, flash video.

I think ive sorted it Jack,it was a trojan i think,it was a video bolloks thing downloaded in error,it then changed my IE homepage to summat called Foxtab and looked very dodgy,i downloaded a program called Final Uninstaller which i deleted a file called Foxit and then ran a malware scan,which picked up this adware thing,i then got rid of that and rescanned and its gone.
