Computer nerd bit: more problems

My search virus

I
was trying to connect one of my cameras to my laptop last week and was not getting a live camera view as I did not have VLC media player installed. I down loaded this and installed but found if was infected with the Mysearch virus. This nasty piece of software tries to direct you to other sites that are infected.
It can be removed easily and does no damage to other files: I have now found a virus free copy of VLC media player 
The myseach browser hijacker is often found in free software 

Please contact me if you help with connecting a Gopro to Windows 7 with wifi, I have them talking to each other but no live view; my Andriod works OK but only has a small screen

A couple of photos from the Gopro mounted on my Quad, the lens give a clean image even facing the sun, the old race track can be seen in the second photo
