Recently, more and more users are faced with such a problem as the appearance of an advertising banner on the computer desktop. It is quite difficult to remove it, and its developers, in order to unlock the PC, offer to send a paid SMS message to a short number. You don't need to do this.
Instructions
Step 1
First go to the main menu of the operating system "Start, then to the" Control Panel "and open the section called" Add or Remove Programs ". Check the list that appears for any suspicious programs that you have not installed. Often, banners completely block your computer's desktop, which is why start your PC in Safe Mode. If you find a suspicious component, remove it immediately.
Step 2
If the banner ad is in Internet Explorer, you can remove it by opening the menu called "Tools" and going to the section "Settings", then to the subsection "Manage add-ons". Delete all items in the window that opens. Usually all banners are placed in this menu, which is why after you restart your browser, all ads should disappear.
Step 3
The easiest way to guarantee getting rid of all banners is to install the free Dr. Web Curelt. You can download it from the official website at https://www.freedrweb.com/cureit. This program is designed to scan your PC, detect and then eliminate malware. Another utility allows you to unblock access to popular resources, for example, social networks "VKontakte" or "Odnoklassniki". Do not install Dr. Web Curelt. It is enough to run a system scan. As a result, you should get rid of banner ads that greatly interfere with computer work.
Step 4
There is also an alternative program called Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool located at https://devbuilds.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/AVPTool and developed by Kaspersky Lab. This antivirus program is even simpler and easier to use than the previous one. It contains anti-virus databases that are regularly updated and even detect new viruses and malware, including banners.
