Another day, another blog post. Did you just see something called <strong>SpadeCast<\/strong> on your machine?

But the <a title=\"How To Scan a File for Viruses with VirusTotal\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/scan-files-for-viruses-virustotal\/\">VirusTotal<\/a>\u00a0and the anti-virus programs there detect it as &#8220;<strong>Adware.SpadeCast<\/strong>&#8220;. The detection rate is 9\/53. Some of the detection names for SpadeCast are <strong>Adware.SpadeCast.A<\/strong>\u00a0and <strong>Trojan.Win32.Generic!BT<\/strong>. I guess it could still be a BrowseFox variant.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/SpadeCast-anti-virus-report.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4712\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/SpadeCast-anti-virus-report.png\" alt=\"SpadeCast anti-virus report\" width=\"607\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/SpadeCast-anti-virus-report.png 607w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/SpadeCast-anti-virus-report-300x219.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 607px) 100vw, 607px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, how about the <strong> removal<\/strong>? If you&#8217;d like to remove SpadeCast you can do so with the <a title=\"About FreeFixer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/about-freefixer\/\">FreeFixer<\/a> removal tool. Just select the files digitally signed by &#8220;SpadeCast&#8221;, click the Fix, reboot, and the problem should be solved.<\/p>\n<p>Hope that helped you with the removal.<\/p>\n<p>Did you also find SpadeCast on your computer?
