Does anybody have any experience with getting rid of this? I'm following some instructions I found on google and so far no luck.

Reboot in safe mode w/ command prompt. Follow directions for system restore on your phone or another computer.

Tried to tell everyone but I got beat down.

Vodly is a hijacked site. Told people to use the correct site but NOOOOO. I was an idiot.

Doesn't help you but primewire is the NEW unhijacked 1channel.

Now.....

Did you try malwarebytes in safe mode?

You reformat your computer.

It's pretty much the only way to eradicate anything. Once you compromised yourself, you don't know how much further it dug in. Even if you remove the original virus, you don't know what else it let in.

There is a reason why once you get a virus you are often plagued recurrently by something.

Its a pain, but I wouldn't want to type in bank info on a potentially compromised computer....

Nuke the HD from orbit.

It's the only way to be sure.
