1. Go to Windows Start button -> All Programs
2. Look for the icon Windows PC Defender and find out the location of its directory. (I located mine at c:\programdata\7ccc47a) FYI: You won’t find this directory in Windows Explorer even if you set your Folder Options to Show hidden files and folders 3. Restart your computer in safe mode with command prompt. 4. In your command prompt type: - cd\ (press enter key on your keyboard) - cd programdata (press enter key on your keyboard) - rd (type the folder location here) /s /q (press enter key on your keyboard) - exit (press enter key on your keyboard) 5. Restart your computer. ** Also you can try using Malwarebyte software, its free. |
