How do I get remove Bikiniland from my computer?

Hello ?
Welcome to the Webroot Community.
What you are seeing and describing is what we on the Community refer to as a PUA. (Potentially Unwanted Application)These are very annoying at best in that they cause pop-us, redirect your browser home page, and other behavior that may slow down the computer and direct ads your way, but they are not actually doing anything bad like damaging files or stealing information. Often they are installed intentionally by you the user as browser add-ons for various tasks such as quick search tools.. but they also come with the result of added annoying pop-ups and ads. Other times they 'piggy back' with other software that you installed, or try to 'sneak' onto your system entirely.
WSA does detect and remove many PUA's, and more are being added, but WSA does not detect all of them. A simple browser add-on with PUA behavior that is easy to identify and easy to remove is not likely to be detected and removed by WSA. Those that are intentionally difficult to locate and remove are. Please see THIS LINK for more information regarding Webroot's stance on these annoying programs.
The best thing to do is to submit a Trouble Ticket and ask Webroot Support to take a look and remove these for you. There is NO CHARGE for this for valid WSA license holder.
I hope this info helps,

Thank you for the information. I will move forward with this and see if it helps.
You're welcome ?
Contacting support would be your best approach. That way they can evaluate it and, if need be, add it to thier list. Also sometimes these PUAs can be difficult to remove on your own.
Please come back anytime. Your questions, comments, thoughts, and opinions are always welcome here. :)

One should wonder how bikiniland came to reside onto your pc. Do you share it with relatives? If not then you must have clicked on something.
On a silly note: Wonder why i didn't read the last 4 letters of the subject ?? Must caffeïnate to keep this from happening.
