Re: F'kn Binkiland!!! help
Not really my area of experience or expertise, so maybe someone who has actually removed those before will chime in with a successful experience. The standard Google-fu gives the typical "tool soup" approaches that get recommended for most malware infections, i.e. "use this, use that, but most importantly, install our software so you can see our ads for our paid/upgraded software."
The Ad-Aware folks describe removing Binkiland this way: http://www.lavasoft.com/mylavasoft/comp ... -binkiland, which sounds pretty straight-forward (for malware, anyway) and just involved uninstalling and manually stopping the involved processes. Malwarebytes has a similar guide here: http://malwaretips.com/blogs/binkiland-search-removal/, but it does presume that you would love to install their malware protection software as part of the solution.
Symantec (Norton) is the more trusted name for me out of the bunch, but just getting their anti-virus product /now/ after the fact I doubt will help with clean removal on an already-infected system. (I've only ever installed the corporate versions of Symantec Endpoint Protection though, so the retail package may actually do something helpful here.) I would probably be tempted to try https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/thr ... rrent/info instead, although I have no basis except reputation to consider it over the other tools mentioned.
If it happened to my own machine, I would likely just be restoring the previous week's backup and then retrieving just those data files which changed in the recent week. So you might consider that option if you have it available to you, over trying to "expertly clean" an already infected machine. I'm sure cleaning can actually be successful too; I just don't trust either the malware or the tools enough to put my faith in the infection being gone and/or something else having become damaged by the "repair" tools. At least not when "definitely gone, and as clean as you were a week ago" is an option.
