Is there a detailed "How To" site for eradicating browser hijacking and other malware?

I know about Malwarebytes, Super Anti Spyware, I have Root Killer I can't uninstall! I've used "Hijack This" but I can't find anywhere that DETAILS how to rid what really is bad - and won't halt wanted programs as well.

I also know about help-sites where I can post my results and HOPE someone will help. Is there a forum - like "Bleeping Computers" - where a quick reply is the norm? And again, is there a DETAILED HOW-TO site that teaches me what is really malware when these programs find "POSSIBLE" malware/spyware/adware/hijackers?

Thanks

    There is no "how-to" because it's so complicated. If it could be explained in a simple how-to, then anti-virus programs would be able to block them all. As soon as the anti-virus programs learn to recognize one piece of malware, another one comes out that acts differently so it isn't identified. It takes years of IT training to learn how to track down malware yourself and get rid of it.

    Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware are the excellent unfastened products there are. in case you do no longer choose to apply those, why are you soliciting for help? those are shown malware, spyware and spyware removing, yet you decide on somebody or something to teach you what's "surely spyware?" Why situation utilising sturdy products in case you do no longer have faith them to eliminate the junk. i've got used SuperAntiSpyware for various years, and have faith it implicitly to eliminate the stuff i do no longer choose and leave the stuff I DO choose. this technique is attentive to the type. interestingly you do no longer.
