Jelly Bean Posted November 5, 2016 Posted November 5, 2016 Hi,so I have a friend the same friend with HMRC issues and scammers,he isnt computer forum friendly or I wouldsend him here. Anyway he partner has Torch Browser issues andIve been on their FaceBook page and lots of people are having issues and no fixes being given. I say uninstall the rubbish,install Chrome or FireFox and give her laptop a good clean up via instructions. But its going to take me forever as neither are computer savvy.. Any advice,just clean up the computer and leave Torch installed or get rid of it and any known issues you know of? Thanks guys. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
ExTS Admin Starbuck Posted November 6, 2016 ExTS Admin Posted November 6, 2016 I say uninstall the rubbish,install Chrome or FireFox and give her laptop a good clean up via instructions. I agree. Torch is rubbish and more often than not it's added as a third party program. I'm almost sure that AdwCleaner targets this. I'll bet that's not the only PuP on the system... so AdwCleaner or JRT would be a good place to start. Quote Member of:UNITE
Jelly Bean Posted November 6, 2016 Author Posted November 6, 2016 Thank You Starbuck. I gave him a fix last night,adware being one. But apparently she is more concerned about keeping her tabs than a good clean up and uninstall.Looks like it was installed with a bundle and shes getting multiple blank tabs and pages. There maybe no helping them if they dont want to help themselves.. But he hasnt got back to me at all today so I dont know what they intend to do. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................

Jelly Bean Posted November 16, 2016 Author Posted November 16, 2016 I sometimes wonder why I even get out of bed or stay up late giving help. Sigh... Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
