Anti Virus Protection 2012 Removal Help!?

Question

So my computer was taken away for a month for it to be restored back to new, and there was new programs in it when I got it back and about three Virus Protection Programs, but this Anti Virus Protection 2012 keep spamming me each time I attempt to open up anything telling me I have malacious files, viruses, trojans etc. I thought I had the full version but I had the trail /: Is this a fake brand that just wants money? I luckly downloaded this microsoft virus protection (which helped ALOT when I had viruses last time as well and It did not spam me & notify me every 2 minutes) and it scanned my computer full and it removed all malaciious files etc. How can I remove this? I honestly dont think its a brand named one from a company because I tried searching it up and could not find it also it has an imitation logo of windows...

Answer 5

Get a new virus protection. And scan your computer for infections.

I recommend Malware bytes, it's the best.

And when your computer is clean, use google chrome and install ad blocker pro(free) It will help you from clicking ads and getting viruses.





TL;DR? : Get Malware bytes. And ad blocker pro for chrome
