I don't often make removal guides about adware. Only when said adware has gotten to the point where it has gotten so widespread that I am seeing multiple cases where I remove it. With that in mind, I decided to write a removal guide for the Nationzoom.com adware.
Step #1: Click the start button. Then select or search for Control Panel. Then click Add/Remove programs or Uninstall a program.
Step #2: When the new window opens, uninstall the following programs if you find any of them: Wsys Control, Extended Protection, eSave Security Control, Desk 365, Nation Zoom browser protection.
After manual removal, you may find it hard to get your browsers back under control. With that in mind, I have written a few mini-guides below for popular browsers.
Mini-guide 1: Internet Explorer
Step #1: Open Internet Explorer. Then click on the gear icon near the top right. Then click on Internet Options.
Step #2: Click on the advanced tab then click reset.
Step #3: Check the delete personal settings checkbox. Then click reset.
Mini-guide 2: Mozilla Firefox
Step #1: Open Firefox. Then click on the orange Firefox button at the top left of the window. Then click Add-ons and then go to extensions.
Step #2: If you see Nation zoom or Extended Protection, disable or remove them depending on the options Firefox gives you.
Step #3: Close the tab and go back to the Firefox button. Then click on options, then General. Change your homepage to what it was before.
Step #4: Change your search provider to what it was before by clicking the drop down menu on the search bar.
Mini-guide 3: Google Chrome
Step #1: Open Google Chrome and Click on the following link: chrome://extensions/
Step #2: If you see Extended Protection 1.9 or Lightning Newtab, click on the trash can on the side of them.
Step #3: With that tab still open, click on settings. Then change your search provider to what it was before.
