I have tried every guide to try to remove it, it doesn’t let me download malawarebytes-anti malware (or it does… btu teh files never transfer into my computer so is useless). And im trying to remove it for free too, so i would like to know how can i remove teh files and registries manually instead. Thank you.
When I clicked on the LAN settings and went to unclick the “Use proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial up connections” it wasn’t checked. Is that a problem? If not, Where do i go to find the files that you have listed above that need to be deleted?
Hurry need an answer NOW if possible
Great! Worked well!
