Hi,  it's from McAfee, if you want we can uninstall it properly.

cireluz · Answer

Good evening, I do not want to uninstall McAfee, especially since I have it for 3 years.

cireluz · Answer

no one anymore ????

dr.pc1 · Answer

It's McAfee SiteAdvisor that needs to be uninstalled, not McAfee SecurityCenter, but I don't use McAfee, so I don't know if it's integrated or separate from the antivirus (McAfee SecurityCenter).

cireluz · Answer

I uninstalled it by going into uninstall programs and modifying McAfee  but CCleaner still tells me there is an obsolete key  isn't that strange !!

Problem solved, thank you.

To uninstall the disinfection tools:

** Download Delfix: here and then run Delfix on your desktop.

* Click on the "Remove" button and post its report in your next message.

* To uninstall it, just relaunch it and click on the uninstall button.

After:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Download PureRa (by the publisher of JavaRa): here

- Run it (right-click "run as administrator" for Vista/7)

- click on "Clean"

- The tool will perform its scan then its cleaning

- at the end of the scan, you will have a line like this:

Total space cleaned: 7657532 bytes

- Just give me that line.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can keep Malwarebyte's and download CCleaner to regularly clean and Revo uninstaller to properly uninstall your software and to optimize your PC, there's Glary Utilities ;-)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also download WOT and ADBlock for your browser and more security for your PC.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A bit of reading:

Securing your computer: here

/!\ to do /!\ Enable PUP/LPI Detection: here

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You must check every month that Adobe Flash Player and JAVA are up to date.

**You need a good antivirus like Avast or Avira etc... and a good firewall like Comodo Firewall or the one from Windows (Windows Defender)

Don't forget to set the subject to ---> resolved <---

If you still have problems, feel free to come back to CCM or contact me =)
