Re: How to Remove Instant Savings App (Adware Removal Guide)

I have been plagued with this highly annoying adware for some months.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit and Internet Explorer 10 with Norton Internet Security and Malwarebytes.

Following reading the Avisoft article I looked for evidence of it in both the control panel (uninstall or change a program) and Internet Explorer Tools manage add ons.

I could find no evidence of the InstantSavings App in either of the above but it is still running and creating hot links on normal websites where they would not normally exist and which link to an InstantSavings "Advert".

Any ideas on how to get rid of the F********* thing.
