How do I get rid of EasyPDF Combine that attached itself to firefox?
I mistakenly downloaded malware thinking I was downloading another program. The unwanted program is called "EasyPDF Combine" by Myway. It has attached itself to my Firefox browser. I tried to delete Firefox but was unable. I cannot find any files or programs listing the malware. I see websites that offer downloads to uninstall the malware but I don't know if I can trust those. Can you offer help. My computer is running Windows 10 and has McAfee Anti-virus. It's the McAfee pop-up that won't let me uninstall Firefox. I can delete the icon on the desktop but that's about it. After doing a System restore I thought I might had gotten rid of it so I reinstalled Firefox again ( although I still had Firefox files ) from the Firefox website. Much to my dismay the EasyPDF Combine once again took over and displayed it's ugly head! AhHH! If there's a downloadable program that will get rid of this malware please give me a link. Thanks.

I down loaded the free malware removal tool from the botcrawl website you recommended. It scanned my computer and quarantined about 13 different files including the "EasyPDF Combine" file. When I activated my Firefox browser once again the EasyPDF Combine website came up. This had me confused momentarily until it dawned on me that I might need to reset the FFox default home page setting. I reset the home page back to FFox and so far everything seems fine. ...Thanks for helping.
