Ouch: How do I remove Yield Manager?

This details how I was able to remove one of my most difficult spyware popup infections to date: ad.yieldmanager.com.

This insidious spyware was extremely persistent, avoiding cleaning by my normal set of favorite cleaners: Kaspersky, AVG Antivirus, AVG Antispyware, Spybot, Ad-Aware, Panda Online, HijackThis, l2mfix, VundoFix, Easy Cleaner, CleanUp!, and ewido.net.

At first it was even difficult to identify the type of spyware because the popups didn’t leave many clues other than an occasional “New Offer” popup window. However, after letting the PC system “ferment” a little to let the spyware infestation spread, the ad.yieldmanager.com signature appeared in one of the windows.

The best removal sequence I found came mostly from this site: http://www.pchell.com/support/smitfraud.shtml where I followed the steps for removing SmitFraud. I took a guess on this because I saw an earlier SpySheriff infection on the system and I was thinking that perhaps it was not entirely removed.

The set of cleaners I ran from Safe Mode in this order were:

SmitRem by NoahdFear - http://noahdfear.geekstogo.com/

SmitFraudFix - http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.php

RogueRemover - http://www.majorgeeks.com/RogueRemover_d5360.html

Aproposfix - http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/aproposfix.exe

CCleaner - http://www.ccleaner.com/

CleanUp! - http://www.stevengould.org/software/cleanup/downlo...

Easy Cleaner - http://personal.inet.fi/business/toniarts/ecleane....

Of the set of cleaners I ran, I think RogueRemover and Aproposfix were the critical programs for this particular spyware infection.

After running all these cleaners the ad.yieldmanager.com spyware was removed completely.

Hello. My name is Sanjay Patel, and I currently hold an honorary Master's degree in the field of Computer Science. I am aware of, and have personal knowledge related to your question. There are computer repair businesses which are probably in your area, however they come at the cost of hiring a professional to enter your home. There may also be some local destinations where you can drop off your computer and wait to have a technician look at it. These options can often be costly, and pretty inconvenient. The answer to this question can probably be found doing a little extra research on Google.

A well-running computer can be a hard thing to maintain. From my experience, there is but only One software which is reputable, and consistently reliable for healing sick computers. Reimage™ - https://reimagefix.im/ is a world-renown, easy to use software designed by Forensic scientists and made for the average person. This thing will fix literally just about ANY problem you could possibly be having with your PC. Reimage was recommended to me by a Professor during my 2nd year of Graduate school.

Depending on the exact issue at hand, a thorough Google search may be be your best bet at resolving for yourself whatever is causing dysfunction. Nonetheless, as a computer technician who runs his own business troubleshooting, repairing, rebuilding, and optimizing computers... I can probably guide you in the right direction. However, without having your PC directly at my fingertips, I can only make general suggestions. In this case, I would surely check out the highly esteemed world-class Reimage software from https://tr.im/ReimageRepairs ..

When people come into our shop and drop off their PC for repair, the first thing we do is run an initial diagnostic. For this function, I use Reimage exclusively. In many cases, I am able to diagnose very quickly what is making their computer run slow, or is giving them the crashes/freezes/errors/grief that brought them to me in the first place. After the diagnostic, in a majority of cases, Reimage is able to remedy All problems and replace any corrupted Windows files. I then proceed to charge a handsome fee for my services that took me all but 30-60 minutes to complete. Obviously sometimes I must work more, but often this is all it takes. It is a very powerful tool that would likely put me and others in my industry out of business if more people knew of it. So don't tell anyone lol, and Good Luck with your PC.

I recently used https://reimagefix.im/ referred to by that Sanjay poster on here and it completely fixed my problem! I was having all kinds of problems that were completely annoying my gf to death. This computer had viruses, spyware, error messages, hardware problems, and the machine would many times crash or freeze on us. I think the worst problem to me was how SLOW and laggy it became. So just when I was about to get rid of with it, and waste money on a new computer...I find this. Good.
