Want to eradicate PC Cleaner Pro


nlightenup

Recommended Posts

A few months ago I needed a Babylon removal tool, and the "tool" I found turned out to be PC Cleaner Pro--NOT identified as such until after installation. I moved to get rid of it immediately and thought it was gone, but it's not. MBAM-Pro isn't detecting any threat but I want every trace gone. A little while ago I got notice that it was asking permission to perform a function I didn't want it performing (don't remember exactly what the operation was--deleting or editing something). I denied the permission and started looking for a way to get rid of it. Nothing I've found pertains to erasing the current version. This forum has a years-old removal guide for "PC Clean [sic] Pro" but nothing more recent and nothing for PC Cleaner Pro. Help GREATLY appreciated.

Hello and welcome to MBAM forum, nlightenup: :)

If you think you are infected with PC Cleaner Pro (or any other rogue or infection, for that matter), please read below for the steps to begin the cleaning process. :)

(There may not be a formal tutorial for this particular malware in the Self Help section.)

The malware experts will assist you in the correct section (this section of the forum is designated for general suggestions for the MBAM program development and other non-malware related comments). :)

IMPORTANT: Please do NOT use any temporary file cleaners unless instructed to do so - they can cause data loss, making recovery difficult.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE EXPERT HELP WITH MALWARE REMOVAL, PLEASE CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING 3 OPTIONS:

OPTION 1: Free, one-on-one, expert assistance in the Malware Removal Forum. (Please see helpful tips below.)

OPTION 2: For licensed users of MBAM PRO, there is free, one-on-one, expert assistance from the MBAM support helpdesk.

OPTION 3: Fee-based, one-on-one, expert assistance from Premium Support.

  • Please be patient - it may be 48 hours or more before a helper can assist you, especially when the forum is very busy.
  • Please do NOT "bump" your topic or reply back to it for at least 48 hours.
