The Creepiness that is Amazon Smart Search Malware Virus

How many of us are aware of how pathetic and subversive Amazon really is? My computer has been infected by Amazon Smart Search, deliberately, and the fix offered by Amazon requires 52 steps of software manipulation to uninstall.  The Company sent a canned response saying how sorry they were, this was never intended.
 
Youtube is awash in videos offering to assist you in removing the virus, all cautioning you that it is difficult and may cause you more problems by trying to remove it.  A casual search of "Amazon Smart Search Virus" returns enough reading for weeks. If anyone spends that much money on having such deleterious software developed, a "sorry, we didn't mean it" can only be interpreted as an outright lie. 

The software is a spy/redirect malware, in corrupts your browser, gives you useless search results, allows other spyware software in to your system, slows down all functions, great fun.  The best part is that it is extremely difficult to remove, absurdly so, especially in the face of the statements issued by the company "we didn't mean for that to happen". 

Amazon spent the money to have it developed, Amazon knew what it wanted and paid for it.  Anything else is a sham and a cover up.  When you are dealing with Amazon, keep in mind that when you click on a link in the email, you may very well be unintentionally downloading a virus that is as bad as it gets, sent to you deliberately and with bad intent.  Have learned my lesson, if I can successfully get free of Amazon Smart Search, do you think clicking on another link in an Amazon email is in my future?  Unlikely, think it over before you find yourself battling these creeps.
