How can I remove "get.mirmar" from my computer?

I was trying to download a Honda service manual but did it from the wrong source and got this adware package attached. It is called "get.mirmar" . It is really bogging down my computer. I have tried everything to get rid of it. Malwarebytes doesn't even work. Most of the writing is in Chinese so I have no idea how to get rid of it. Please help. Thanks Ron

Your plugin list shows a Tencent program, "QQPCMgr Mozilla Extenstion". Not sure what that is doing there, either.

Our support article "Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware" lists a number of free programs for cleaning. Since each uses a somewhat different list, I suggest not stopping with Malwarebytes and trying many others. Hopefully a combination of cleaners will fix it.

Note: if the programs seem to finish too quickly and demand a payment, you may have a very serious infection. In that case, please consult the specialized forums listed in the article for step-by-step assistance with advanced tools.

The Question Details > More System Details next to your post also shows a very old Adobe Acrobat plugin (version 7?!). Older versions of Adobe Reader are popular targets for malware authors so it's definitely worth updating.

You can get the main installer for Adobe Reader version 10 or 11 from this page: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

Note that these downloads are not actually fully up-to-date. After installation, you will need to start Adobe Reader and use Help > Check for Updates to get all the later security patches.
