This thread's last reply is from October 7, 2012, 2:34 PM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

I only use Firefox.

C:\Users\Bill\Downloads\softango_videoconverter.exe Win32/InstallBrain application
C:\Users\Bill\Downloads\WinZipRegistryOptimizer.exe a variant of Win32/OpenInstall application
C:\_OTL\MovedFiles\09272012_003742\C_Users\Bill\AppData\Local\Temp\SetupDataMngr_Searchqu.exe Win32/Toolbar.SearchSuite application
I installed Chrome and youtube plays just fine. It will not work on IE or FF.
Hi 2bd,

Let try this to see if a plug/extension maybe causing the problem. We have a couple of options to try. We will do this one first.

We are going to set firefox in safemode to disable addons then see if youtube works.

Run Firefox in safemode:
  • Close Firefox browser.
  • Now hold down the shift key on your keyboard. Then click on firefox icon to open browser.
  • You will get a popup box. Click on the button Start in Safe Mode.


Now go to youtube to see if it works. Let me know how that goes.
Got the message: "An error. occurred. Please try again later".
Hi 2bd,

If you still have Complitly in your program list uninstall it. If you have already uninstalled then you can skip this step.

Add/Remove Programs
I need you to uninstall a program from your computer.
  1. Click on Start -> Control Panel and depends on View by selection in upper right corner:
    • If Category - click on Uninstall Programs.
    • If Icons - click on Programs and Features.
  2. Locate the following program:
    Complitly
  3. Click on the Change/Remove button to uninstall it.
  4. When the program have been uninstalled, please close Control Panel.

We need to check if a folder/file is still present on your computer.

Create a batch file
  • Open Notepad.
  • Copy/paste the following text into the empty Notepad window.
    @echo off
    dir D:\*.* /L /A /B /S|Find "iLivid" >> "%userprofile%\desktop\look.txt"
    dir E:\*.* /L /A /B /S|Find "iLivid" >> "%userprofile%\desktop\look.txt"

  • Save the file as Search.bat on your desktop. Make sure to change Save as type to... All Files . Note: if saved as a Text Documents(*.txt) it will not work.
  • Double click the file Search.bat to execute.
  • A look.txt will be created on your desktop copy and paste what it found in your next reply.
The Look file was created immediately and was empty. Yes, I did save the search file as All Files.
Hi 2bd,
The Look file was created immediately and was empty. Yes, I did save the search file as All Files.

That is fine it worked. It created a blank look.txt then it didn't find anything.

  • Make sure you have pasted the lines from code box above.

  • Let the Program run unhindered. When the scan completes, Notepad will open with the scan results (OTL.txt). The report is saved in the same location as OTL.

  • Please post the contents of report in your next reply.

If OTL didn't have you restart computer please do so now.

Hi 2bd,

The issue with youtube you are still experiencing does not seem to be coming from malware. This is a known issue:
