Good evening,
I want to get rid of the Softonic software. I have a Softonic window permanently on my desktop. It displays a download status bar and the message "we are improving your Softonic experience, please wait." Because of this window, I cannot uninstall the software through the control panel.
Could you please help me remove this software?
Thank you.

You must have installed potentially unwanted software
To avoid this kind of problem:
- Do not download any programs offered in advertisements or on suspicious websites. Note that some well-known sites like O1net, Softronic, Tuto4PC, etc. sometimes modify the programs offered for download to add adware ==> Always prefer to download 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.
