Strictly speaking it's not a virus, there is no infection normally associated with viruses - - it's a "browser hijacker".

As such, they are typically not detected by AV software or malware detection software.

Wow, I actually fixed it. I downloaded this program: [link removed] (there's a 30 day free trial). Ran it and it repaired my computer's registry.

This was due to this program that I installed today called "Driver Talent". It created multiple entries that were hidden, but luckily this unhackme program removed them all. This really sounds like a spam post, but it isn't lol. I was in your boat a few minutes ago and was about to reformat my drive.

I think unhackme is a virus? or is it safe because i had driver talent too.
