I have a Lenovo G50 w/ Windows 10.

In the process of downloading Chrome, somehow the "SAntivirus Realtime Proctection Lite" was downloaded.  I tried to uninstall but unable to totally uninstall due to some files are locked.  Any suggestion on how to totally uninstall this program?!

Thank you.

    Hi there Maki.mp04, I will be your Independent Advisor for today, I hope we can both resolve your problem.

    This is a known Potentially unwanted application.

    Please follow the steps below on how to remove this virus.

    Lets start by downloading the free version of Malwarebytes, it is a freeware that you can use to scan, detect and delete viruses like the one you currently have.

    You can download the free version from this link

    https://www.malwarebytes.com/

    Once installed please make a full scan. You may remove this software once you are done with it.

    And follow these additional steps.

    To get rid of it we need to check first where the file is located most likely it is hiding in one of your folders.

    If it pops up do not close it instead open up the Task Manager, click on more details below then look for the open process associated with the pop up, if you cant see it in the process tab go to the details tab and look for that process then if you see right click it and then go to file location and then once you have located the file delete it.

    Uninstall an unwanted application in Programs and features,

    Go to start type in Control Panel, then go to Programs and then programs and features then go to the list of the programs look for anything unusual or any application that you are not aware right click then uninstall.

    Delete Temporary files off Windows 10.

    Tap Windows Key then R on your keyboard, on the Run box type in %temp% then press enter.

    Once it is up highlight all then delete, if there is a file open that cant be deleted just skip it.

    Hope this helps.

    Please try to uninstall the latest application that you have installed and see if there is any difference.

    Do you still see the Santivirus application in Control Panel > Programs and Feature > Programs ? If you see it please uninstall it from there.

    I downloaded Microbytes and did a full scan but no file pop-ups.  What's next?

    Yes, but if you get a prompt that it is currently in use just skip those.
