When nothing helps

A fairly simple control compensates for the “foreign” interface. The program is launched by pressing the “Scan Now” button. After the software scans your disks and detects an “intruder,” click “Apply Action”. Then open the top tab “History” and delete all files that are in quarantine. After the request to reboot, give consent, first saving your work. Now certainly the “postmen” will forget your address.

The only condition guaranteeing the ultimate success of the enterprise is the reinstallation of the much-needed plug-in from the official site. To date, virus advertising poses a rather serious threat to computer security, sometimes penetrating quite reliable protection and causing significant harm to the user's machine. Therefore, only meaningfulness in actions and the utmost possible care will help you maintain the integrity of the system and your own nerves. Be carefull!
