How do you remove these infections? It is not recommend deleting the files manually. As Malware can use the same name as a genuine file, you could inadvertently delete a file that is genuine. You should always have an up to date anti-spyware program running on your computer. This, along caution in visiting websites and clicking on links in emails will help keep your computer safe.
