Viruses and malware are getting smart--disguising themselves as what seem to be valid anti-virus programs. Unfortunately, if you're getting pop-ups from a Badware Protector Anti-Virus Software, chances are, your computer is infected. Here are the steps to remove this false software from your computer--along with, perhaps, other infections as well!

Step 1

Before you dive in, be sure to print this how-to on your printer or have it available while removing the Badware Protector Anti-Virus Software program. This way, you have it to look off of if you need some extra guidance.

Step 2

The most important thing to have in order to remove the fake Badware Protector Anti-Virus Software is MalwareByte's Anti-Malware software. This can be obtained for free through the resources section link below. It is free, no cost, and may remove the Badware Protector Anti-Virus Software as well as other viruses, trojans and spyware you may not have been aware of!

Step 3

Download the file onto your desktop, and then click the MalwareBytes icon to load up and install the software.

Step 4

When the install is complete, you should have two checkbox options--update and launch. You'll want to make sure both are checked before continuing on.

Step 5

Once the update is complete, you will be led to the main screen. On the Scanner tab, click "Perform Quick Scan." If you have a little more time on your hands, go ahead and do the full scan, but the quick scan should pick up the Badware Protector Anti-Virus Software Program files on its own.

Step 6

When the program is done scanning your computer for viruses, a message box will come up saying that the scan is complete. Click OK to continue.

Step 7

On the next screen, click "Show Results." What you see may surprise you!

Step 8

Make sure all the results are checked in the check mark. Once they have all been checked, click "Remove Selected."

Step 9

Doing so will allow the program to delete the files associated with the Badware Protector Anti-Virus Software as well as any other malware, trojans, viruses, or spyware the program may have found while scanning. In doing so, the program may ask to restart the computer in order to continue. Go ahead and let it restart, and if you want extra protection, it might not be a bad idea to do one more "Quick Scan," just in case. Never hurts to be extra thorough.

Step 10

You can now close the program, and you should be free of the Badware Protector Anti-Virus Software. No matter what you call it, whether you call it a trojan, virus, malware, spyware, whatever, you definitely don't want it on your computer!

Words of Advice
