Default Can't remove Malware

Some Malware has got onto the mother in laws laptop and I can't seem to get rid of it, in add/remove programs it is listed as:

Inbox Toolbar
PC Power Speed
Rebateinformer

I tried uninstalling them from add/remove programs, but they are still on the pc, they still pop up.
They still show up in add/remove programs but when you click on them it says they can not be removed.

I've tried Malwarebytes but it finds nothing

Any ideas?

Find a program called malwarebytes. I've found it very good at removing stuff. (Didn't spot you'd already tried this LOL).

Also if you go on to the moneysavingexpert.com forums in the techie bit there are plenty of help threads in there.

I can't remember all the tools I used to clean mine but the people on their will definately be able to help. Depending on the problem you have there are different ways to clean it.

At least you know what the programs are that seem to be causing the problem. Mine was deeply embedded.
