Control panel ..its either ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS (windows xp)… or UNINSTALL A PROGRAM(windows 7)
open it …and then look for the program that you want to remove
You have a fake av.
It will try to make you buy a service that doesn’t exist.
Boot into safemode with networking (F7/F8 at startup)
then go to download.com and install malwarebytes & Spybot Search & Destroy.
Update – Full scan – Fix Problem
Cant be run? Combofix first.
Note: if you don’t have Safemode with networking, then you have two other options:
-Go into normal safemode, and transfer the programs through USB from another pc.
-startup normal. Start – Run – taskmgr.exe – processes – close some of the obvious unwanted things. Until you can get online and do the things above.
Feel free to contact me regarding any trouble.
