CometSystems Removal Guide

CometSystems Removal Guide
CometSystems is an adware program that always create desktop shortcuts that link to websites and software product offerings. CometSystem will run automatically when Windows boot as it has added autorun setting in the registry. CometSystems exploits a bug in the Twitter messaging client and starts a corrupted program file downloaded from the web. CometSystems is the company who create Comet Cursor, a software program that enables users to changes the presence of their cursors.

CometSystems can be removed first by stopping its processes ([random].exe) and then kill its files by using Emsisoft HiJackFree. Then the user has to remove all the related files and folder. Finally, restore the registry entries added and modified by CometSystems.

CometSystems should be removed immediately!
