How to Remove Wajam Virus/Toolbar From My Browsers?

What Is Wajam?

Wajam appeared to be a browser toolbar on the web browsers. No matter what kind of browsers you are using, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox or Google Chrome, this Wajam virus will install itself without your attention. You may have the same question like them:
1. I'm not sure how Wajam got on my PC ,ive been trying to take it off but it takes hours and have to turn it off,just keeps saying ,wait for it to uninstall,do i need it?

2. So I was downloading a program and it tacked on a bunch of junk I didn't want to download with it. I thought I unticked all of them but somehow a program called Wajam slipped through.I closed the background program in Chrome listed as Wajam but it still pops up. Can someone help me delete this thing?

As you can see, there is no removal tool that can handle the Wajam removal alone. In that situation, we need to remove it manually with expert skills. Some of you may feel puzzle about the removal, but in this post, you don't need to worry. Ask 24/7 Online Experts Now, you can get the probelm fixed without trouble. 

Some of you may have tried this method:

Windows 7 users:
Click "Start" ("Windows Logo" in the bottom left corner of your desktop), choose "Control Panel". Locate "Programs and Features". Look for "Wajam" select this entry and click Uninstall.

Windows XP users:
Click "Start", choose "Settings" and click "Control Panel". Locate and click "Add or Remove Programs". Look for "Wajam" select this entry and click Remove.

But I am afraid there may be 2 different problems.
One is that you cannot find the Wajam in control panel.
Second, after you restart your computer and open web brwosers, the Wajam pops up again.


Removal Guide for Wajam

Solution one:

You'd better remove malicious add-ons on your internet explorer or firefox and Google Chrome.
Google Chrome: Wrench Icon > Tools > Extensions
Mozilla Firefox: Tools > Add-ons (Ctrl+Shift+A)
Internet Explorer: Tools > Manage Add-ons

Solution Two:

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del on your keyboard or right click on the bottom Taskbar to open the Windows Task Manager;End the process of Wajam.exe; 

Random.exe 

(Why it is random? Well, this is because Wajam is changing its names randomly on the infected computer. So it is really difficult to find the exact name of Wajam.exe application.)

After that, Find out and delete all these associating files as below:


%AllUsersProfile%\[random]
%AppData%\Local\[random]
%Temp%\[random]
%UserProfile%\Wajam
%UserProfile%\Application Data\Wajam
%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Wajam

Open Registry editor, Find out and remove all these associating registry entries:
 Once the Registry Editor is open, search for the registry key
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wajam.” Right-click this registry key and select Delete.

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings "ProxyServer" = "http=127.0.0.1:33921"
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings "ProxyOverride" = ""
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerPhishingFilter "Enabled" = "0"

  1. To clarify, Wajam is not a virus as stated.

    The Wajam social search enhancer is an application allowing users to get recommendations from friends on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ whenever they search. Learn more about Wajam here: http://wajam.com/faq/

    Wajam may be offered as an add-on as part of a software download, but in every case, you have the opportunity to opt-out of the download. The extension is never secretly added or forced upon the user.

    The easiest way to remove Wajam is to follow these official uninstall steps: http://wajam.com/howto/uninstall/
