hitman pro

adding another item to my toolbox

was getting redirects on google searches (among other problems) even after running malwarebytes. Microsoft Security Essentials was terminating before completion.

Found hitman pro from this thread

cleared up the redirect problem (and other problems as well including the MSE problem).

However there was still one particularly stubborn file that hitman identified as malware but couldn't delete even on reboot.

Tried deleting manually from safe mode with no success.

Finally tried moveonboot and moved it to another folder (probabably could have deleted it too, but I wanted to have a sample of it around - but come to think of it, that probably was not a good idea).
