Also, Vipre Rescue Scanner is a free tool offered by the folks at Vipre that
does a deep scan of the computer. It's a free utility, and also comes up as
the first result of a google search. Microsoft accessibility support also
uses this tool as of late.
Beware that the scan usually takes 3 plus hours to complete, depending on
how much data is on the hard drive.
It detects quarantines and deletes automatically.
You can select to run automatically from the download, or save to and run
from your pc.

Try Hitman Pro instead. I can't remember the address, but if you type it
into a Google search, it will be the first result. You have to reinstall it
every time you want to use it unless you pay, but it does work. Also, I've
heard that if you call Microsoft accessibility, they'll run it for you.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Removing System Healer with Malwarebytes or Spy Hunter
Hello list,
So I don’t know how, but it seems I have some malware on one of my desktop
machines called System Healer. Browser hijacker, redirector, false positives
with prompts to buy protection tools, etc.
In any event, Looking around on how to remove it, I come across the solution
of using Spy Hunter. I’m a Malwarebytes user and on this particular machine,
I simply hadn’t’ gotten around to installing Malwarebytes (oh well). I
downloaded and ran a demo version of Malwarebytes (V 1.75) but the machine
comes up clean even though I still see System healer on my computer.
My question is this, is there a way to specifically target a process or
folder or file to scan and quarantine with Malwarebytes? Searching around, I
can select a drive or type of scan (full, quick or flash), but can’t find
anything to target a particular folder/file/process.
That aside, has anyone used Spy Hunter and have they found it to be
accessible with Jaws? In my case, JFW 17. Naturally, the scan and detect
aspects are free, but removal is only with a license. I’m not against paying
for a malware tool. I’ve got a paid version of Malwarebytes on my personal
laptop, but before I go and shell out $30 or $40, I’d like to know whether I
would even be able to use it at all without calling over the sighted wife to
the rescue.
Alternatively, has anyone dealt with this program and were they able to
remove it from their system with any particular tool that is reasonably Jaws
accessible? There are manual instructions on how to remove System healer,
but they involve delving into the registry, other system files and so on.
I’d prefer not to go that route if possible.
Thanks,
Cristobal
