I have been affected by malware, STRS and CWA We-Care. It is quite frustrating and I have been unable to remove them. As a result, I must have over-secured my mozilla account and now I cannot sign-in to PubMed on mozilla. PubMed is an important function for me to open for my PhD studies and through my university's library, I can download actually articles from home via mozilla and PubMed. Without being able to sign on to pubmed however, I am unable to use this function. The advertisements that come through these malwares sites do not affect my computer when I only have e browser but do when I use google chrome and mozilla.

I tried to remove mozilla and re-download it but the same functions returned with mozilla.

Questions: How to I uninstall the malware? How do I make sure the settings are OK to allow me to open PubMed?

Thank you for your speedy reply. Through your easy to implement response, you will help me make one more step closer to my PhD!?

  1. Fully scan your system with an up-to-date anti-virus and the anti-malware applications listed in the following article. Keep in mind anti-malware applications also have a database of definitions that must be updated beforehand.
  2. Reset Firefox.
  3. If you continue having malware problems, refer to a specialized forum.
