Hello everyone
I'm reaching out to someone who could help me

(QuickShare): I have this thing in "Add or Remove Programs." I've been told it's a virus, and I would like to know if that's true and how to remove it. I am on XP
Thank you very much in advance.

    Hello

    You must have installed potentially unwanted software

    To avoid this kind of problem:

    - Do not download any programs offered in ads or on suspicious sites. Note that some well-known sites like O1net, Softronic, Tuto4PC, etc. sometimes modify the programs offered for download to add adware ==> Always prefer downloading directly from the publisher's website.

    - During the installation of a free program, read carefully and uncheck all additional programs that are offered, especially toolbars.

    For your information, read these documents about Potentially Unwanted Programs and Toolbars; they are not mandatory

    * Download this easy-to-use tool

    http://general-changelog-team.fr/fr/downloads/viewdownload/20-outils-de-xplode/2-adwcleaner (by Xplode) on your desktop.

    * If there’s a problem with the first link, take it here https://www.commentcamarche.net/telecharger/securite/2759-adwcleaner/

    * Run it (Under Vista/Seven/8, right-click on it, and select run as administrator); if you are on XP, double-click on it

    * Click on search
    * Post the search report C:\Adwcleaner[R]

    * Note that the search report is also saved under C:\Adwcleaner[R1]
