Get rid of the Trust Media View malware right now

Well, Trust Media View started impacting my browser on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 bit machine. It's kind of ugly and visually nauseating. The people who made it must be pretty dumb. I do not see why they need to show many of the pop-ups on just one page.


I tried Microsoft Security Essentials and it reported no problem. Well should I believe this?
I am not sure how good is MES when it comes to malware removal.

Should XP users worry about Microsoft turning off the spigot to provide malware support to XP. Probably it is no big deal.

Finally I tried to disable the add-on and fortunately I found an entry for it in Manage Add-ons window show here.


I just disabled it and then restarted the computer. It does seem that Trust Media View ads have disappeared. I wonder why this screen cannot be modified to remove it.

If it comes back, I am going to do a System Restore. I am getting pretty good at this!

Clock is ticking for XP support

Anti-malware support is a real blessing in this world of rogue merchants. Closing the curtains on XP also means, support that includes anti-malware support. If you are still using XP keep track.

This was the count when I looked it up last:
