Performax cleaner removal help needed

[Yoga Face]

PerforMax Cleaner published by onebit IT installed itself

It claims my computer needs to be cleaned

It slows down my computer

I have tried to uninstall it but before you can uninstall it you have to stop it from running

SO I go to the windows task manager and stop it from running but when I go to uninstall it it starts running again

How do I uninstall this malicious software?!

Off the bat, i would try free malawarebytes

Get into safe mode without networking, usually f8 taping at the start up boot screen .
Control panel, remove the program by name and /or and programs you may have recently installed that were "free"

See how that works out.
Run a scanner for male are, etc.
Or do a search with google how to remove it, because there may be more to it.

On the net all I seem to get is someone wanting my money to uninstall it - hell, they are probably Onebit under another name

It got by Nortons and nortons will not remove it

I removed it from the system tray, which appears in the lower right corner, which are the programs that start up when you boot

I typed msconfig.exe in search programs then pressed start up in the pop up then unchecked performax

now I can remove it because it is not a running program (you cannot uninstall running programs)

So didja manage to get rid of it? These cleanup and anti virus programmes are the fucking pits. They're often worse than the shit they allegedly protect you against. Keep an eye out for it - even once you manage delete it, shit sometimes sits in your registry or startup files ready to load back up.

remember this one... ?

I did a restore to an earlier date and the fucker came back so I uninstalled again

uninstall does not wipe it from your hardrive

I would never buy crap on the net

I bought nortons at best buy then installed it

web sites are faked and fool you into believing they are nortons or windows or Microsoft etc

Besides, I phoned Microsoft and they wanted $130 to uninstall it

Fuckers fooled me into believing because I could not uninstall it, only they could, then I figured out to remove it from the system tray, which appears in the lower right corner, which are the programs that start up when you boot then I uninstalled

Those phone jockey computer experts FROM India are trained to get your $$$$$ NOT HELP YOU OUT
