Adware Help
Hey Basil, recently downloaded a java update, somehow got an adware program on my comp. I've been able to uninstall all related sketchy files, except for one, which won't uninstall. fst_ca_63 is the name and freestufftoday is it's game. Every time I try to uninstall, it just freezes the uninstall page (which doesn't move). I know for a fact that it's adware, even though a full norton 360 system scan turned up nothing. Anyone have any idea how to get rid of it (preferably without downloading any anti-malware/adware program). Thanks in advance basilers.

Use Revo.

Malwarebytes removes the files... You obviously don't know what it does.

No you don't. You don't even know what MalwareBytes does so you shouldn't disregard it based on the assumption that it's just a scanner. You absolutely cannot remove these kinds of adware/malware/junkware/PUPs on your own. MalwareBytes is often recommended because it does some things antiviruses don't do - aren't supposed to do - and for those, MalwareBytes does a a good job at it.
@ThatWalrus: Install MalwareBytes. Seriously.
lt's not used just for scanning, it will probably detect it and it will be able to remove it for you since you can't manually uninstall it.
windows uninstaller is crap. try uninstalling with revo uninstaller
