dailyfileconverter.co came on my computer through firefox how do I get rid of it
Last week www.dailyfileconverter.co entered my computer when I was on FireFox. How can I get rid of www.dailyfileconverter.co
I uninstalled it. Went to the programs that were infected that date and tried to Change or Repair them. Does not seem to be working as it is still hanging on like a blood sucking leach. Help I am not a computer person, just a old man trying to learn technology.
Cheers

I'd suggest the following:
- Download Malwarebytes from www.malwarebytes.com, run a full scan and remove anything it finds.
- Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
It’s very sad, but many software downloaders/ installers will trick you into installing not only their program, but other programs as well.
You have heard of the fine print in shady contracts, right? Well, some installers you need to look at the itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print.
You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program you want by using the recommended option. But if you use the Manual Option Instead, you discover all kinds of stuff that you do not even know what it is or what it does.
From now on, everyone needs to Use The Manual Option to put a stop to this.
Note that these programs can also change browser/computer settings.
