  • Choose DO NOT ALLOW
  • Next look down on the page below ‘Thank you!’ and find the line “If it does not start, click here to download”. Click on the link that is “Click here to download”

GetPlus Spyware Removal and System Recovery

You accidentally installed GetPlus because Firefox wanted you to update Adobe Flash. Because Adobe keeps changing the way the installer works, it is easy to have this crap get slipped on your system. A good antivirus software, such as F-Prot, will alert you when Adobe tries to sneak GetPlus by you.

F-Prot correctly alerts you to getPlusPlus_Adobe_reg.exe being bad.
