Removing the Chinese antivirus. How to uninstall a Chinese program with a blue shield is a simple, fast and effective way. Preparing for action

If the computer starts to work slowly, processes with characters appear in the Task Manager, and notifications in Chinese appear in the lower corner of the screen, then you have serious problems. Your computer is running Tencent, a Chinese software widespread in our country that massively attacks computers. Program in Chinese, but learn foreign language you don't need to remove it. In this article, we will take a closer look at step by step process removal of unwanted software.

Virus or antivirus

Tencent is marketed as an antivirus program. Its developer is one of the largest Chinese internet providers. In fact, this is an advertiser application. With the help of your computer, developers make "easy money" by slipping advertisements under your nose for which they receive funds.

Judging by how much the program "eats up" the resources of the system, instead of looking for viruses, it can mine cryptocurrency, or use your computer to aggregate traffic. As an antivirus, Tencent is completely useless. Plus, if you don't know Chinese, you won't even be able to close it correctly.

Where can you pick up and how does he manifest himself?

Tencent is classified as a potentially unwanted software". It does not threaten files and data, but it arbitrarily makes changes to the system, and seriously slows down the computer. The virus can do the following:

1. Make changes to the registry.
2. Change the list of startup programs.
3. Change the setting of installed programs.
4. Install unwanted applications.
5. Add extensions and additional advertisements to browsers without your consent.
6. Create resource-intensive processes for your needs.
7. Leverage your internet traffic.

The program is distributed through batch applications. For example, the browser installation file you downloaded may contain Tencent. If you hurry and don't remove the check mark from the button that offers to install "useful" additional programs, you will get a virus.

The virus also spreads in a more cunning way. Let's say you download an archive of coursework, or a new computer game from a dubious site. A file with an icon of a torrent or archive, but its extension is not .zip or .torrent, but .exe.

In no case should such a file be launched. It is 100% virus and it is through these files that Tencent spreads.

How do I completely remove it from my computer?

The main problem in combating malware is a foreign language and its widespread interweaving into the system. You will have to follow the instructions carefully. It is important not to skip any of the steps.

Preparing for action

Before removing Tencent from your computer completely, you should close the program so that it will be less resistant to our actions. To do this, through the combination CTRL + ALT + DELETE we enter the task manager. We close all processes with this name:

• 电脑管家-清理垃圾$;
• 软件管理;
• 电脑管家;
• QQPCSoftMgr.exe;
• QQPCTray.exe.

If there are other processes in Chinese, or starting with QQ, we close them too.

Now it is important to prevent the program from starting again:

Download and. Avast, Nod32, or DrWeb will do. You will need DrWeb's CureIt utility.

Removing a program

1. In the C / Program files / Tencent folder we find the uninst.exe file.
   
2. In the window that appears, click on the lower left button.
   
3. In the new window, press the left button again.
   
4. And again the left button.
   
5. Same action with the last popup.

   The root folder

   Press Win + R, or Start → Run:

   
   

   Antivirus

   We launch the antivirus, scan all disks, RAM and autorun programs. It will take a long time, but the results will be worth it. After that, we check the disks with the CureIt program. After checking and disposing of unwanted software, restart your computer.

   Cleaning up residues

   After rebooting, we scan the system again with the antivirus, and look for Chinese processes in the task manager. Sometimes the virus leaves traces in browsers in the form of malicious extensions:

   1. Launch the browser, open "Settings".
   2. Go to the "Extensions" tab.
   3. If there are files there that you did not install, get rid of them.

   Video instruction

   Having trouble removing malware from your PC? , where you left off and what has already been done so that we can help.

Every computer needs protection. Antivirus provides it, helping the user to bypass or prevent infection. Some also have a whole arsenal of useful tools and a friendly interface in plain language. But if we talk about the antivirus program Tencent or "Blue Shield", as it is also called, then we can say with complete confidence that you will not get anything useful from this product.

The main functions that are present and supposedly very effective are: antivirus, optimizer, garbage cleaner and a few more small tools. Here's a seemingly useful thing if you look at it at first glance. But the situation is quite the opposite, because this software only brings problems and headaches.

The Chinese antivirus is a blue shield, it can insidiously disguise itself as the installation files of other programs or be a harmless archive. But you just need to install it and your computer is doomed. You will no longer decide what is on your device and which files are stored and which are deleted. Tencent is very fond of installing third-party software that can have viruses and use the full system resources. Also, there won't be any duplicates on your computer, even if you need them, because the blue shield diligently removes them, without your permission, of course. Redirecting to Chinese pop-ups in the browser is also his job.

It is very difficult to understand this malware, because the entire interface is in Chinese. Not every average user knows this language. And removing the program is very troublesome, since it may not register itself in the section "Programs and Features"... But there is a way out, although you will have to search for all objects related to Tencent. And they can be anywhere, because in addition to the Task Manager and browsers, this software can be in temp files.

Method 1: using additional utilities

Tencent isn't just getting out of the way, so you often have to resort to a few assistive technology.

Method 2: Apply the built-in uninstaller

As already mentioned, the "Blue Shield" rarely prescribes itself in "Programs and Features", but using the system "Explorer" an uninstaller can be found. This method is most likely suitable for older versions.

Antivirus program Tencent is a program of Chinese origin, designed to protect the user's computer from viruses. The irony is that it spreads across the Internet as malicious software, and not as a means of protection. How to remove the Chinese antivirus Tencent in this case?

Manual removal of Chinese antivirus

The program is installed automatically in the background, which makes it impossible to stop the process in a timely manner. To remove it, use the following methods.

First of all, you need to find out the specific location of the utility on your PC. To do this, start the task manager (ctrl + alt + delete or ctrl + shift + Esc) and go to the processes tab.

Be sure to set the display of all processes, otherwise Tencent will not be found.

We look at the description of all processes, we only need those with Chinese characters:

Right-click on each suspicious process and open the file storage locations. Each path must be saved in a separate notepad. This is done so that after uninstalling the antivirus, you can manually clean the remnants of the program.

Each computer has its own file storage location, my paths looked like this:

There are two ways to get rid of the program manually.

We go to the control panel (you can through start or search). We go to the section of installation and removal of programs (also called "Programs and components")

In the pop-up window, you can see the entire list of programs that are currently on the device. Scroll to the very bottom, looking through the applications. Antivirus Tencent is designated by Chinese characters and is located at the very end of the list.

To uninstall a program, right-click on it and select uninstall from the "Change / Remove" menu.

The problem with this method is that the antivirus program is a tricky program, so it may not appear in this list.

If a window pops up warning that uninstalling the utility will put the device at risk, then simply ignore the message and continue.

Uninst uninstall

To remove Tensent, you can use the Uninst. It is located in the root folder of the program - D: Program Files (x86) TencentQQPCMgr10.11.18434.231 ( personal example, your trailing character set may be different).

Double click to launch the file. A window appears with incomprehensible Chinese characters.

Click on the white inscription, as shown in the screenshot:

In another window, put a checkmark in all the items and select the red button:

Next, a window appears in which you must give an agreement to remove the utility. Select the hieroglyph on the left:

After that, a standard window will launch, which will display the process of uninstalling the Chinese antivirus. In just a few minutes, all shortcuts will disappear from the desktop.

The method is not ideal because if there is no “uninst” file in the root folder, then it will be impossible to uninstall the application in this way.

If the above methods did not help, then you will have to resort to forced uninstallation using third-party programs.

Removing antivirus using third-party programs

The Tencent program is developing and its latest versions cannot be uninstalled through a primitive uninst file or control panel. You will have to use additional software downloaded from the Internet.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free is the ideal program for such cases. Algorithm:

If the antivirus wants to recover again, a notification will pop up. Click no and forget about it forever.

To be sure, you can re-use the AdwCleaner utility to clean up and then reboot the device.

What to do to remove Chinese antivirus (video)

How to remove the Chinese antivirus Blue Shield will be more clearly described in the video instruction, which reflects the main points:

Considering that antivirus is installed on a computer without the knowledge of its owner, the ability to remove it will come in handy. Use one of the listed methods and you can clean your device from incomprehensible software.

I welcome on my blog all guests and those visitors who have installed chinese baidu program, in fact, which will be discussed in this note, and to be more precise, it will be about how to remove baidu from your computer.

For those who do not know what this program is, I will answer - as it turned out, baidu (Baidu) is a Chinese anti-virus protection, which in recent times spreads on the Internet more like a virus than the other way around. In most cases, the Chinese program is installed on a computer or laptop unconsciously, moreover, as a rule, the Baidu installation process is carried out in a hidden, completely automatic mode, which, in principle, does not make it possible to refuse to install this software.

Over the past few months, while serving computers of different users, I increasingly began to encounter this pseudo antivirus. Most clients ask to remove the Chinese program from their computer even during a telephone conversation, and I, in turn, immediately understand what program we are talking about - baidu.

To make it a little clearer, I will briefly tell you about one of these cases.

The woman who works as a teacher in kindergarten, was preparing for the matinee, and she needed to download the children's song "Winged Swing". No matter how, she downloaded this song, ran it on her computer, but on top of that, she now has the Chinese antivirus baidu on her desktop, which is really annoying with its mere presence.

For this purpose, on one of my clients' computers, I recorded a short video with step by step instructions to remove this program, which I now present to your attention.

Video: How to Remove Baidu

The video is, of course, good, but in addition to the video instructions for removing this program, in addition, I decided to take a few more screenshots and small notes.

And so how to uninstall the Chinese baidu program?

Instruction: How to uninstall the Chinese baidu program?

1. Even in spite of some differences in my actions on the video and here, first of all I would advise you to copy all the addresses (paths) where this program is available. What needs to be done for this?

You can press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and select Task Manager.
You can click the second mouse button on the Start bar and select "".

B) In the window that appears, go to the "Processes" tab and click once on the line titled "Image name" or "Description". This way you will be able to sort all processes running on your computer and see how many of them are in the Chinese Baidu program.

In this case, "Baidu" launched as many as 6 additional processes on the computer.

V) Create a new text document on your desktop and open it.

G) Now, by clicking the right mouse button (or touchpad) on the first process, where the description contains Chinese characters, select "".

D) Another window will appear in front of you, by clicking at the top of which you will see full path to the file from the task manager.

E) Copy this path and paste it into a newly created text document. Why this is necessary, I will explain a little later.

F) Do the same for each process with Chinese characters in the description from the task manager. It is very important that you keep all the paths, even if they repeat. It should look something like this.

In most cases, on different computers, these paths will differ from each other, so it is important that you have exactly your paths.

2. Having saved the paths of the location of the Chinese program in different corners of your computer, you can now start deleting this "Baida".

In principle, the process of uninstalling this program, even though it is completely in Chinese, is quite easily demonstrated in my video, so I highly recommend watching it.

And so, in order to remove the baidu antivirus, go to “ Start» – « Control Panel» – « Removing a program"(In some cases, the last item may be" Programs and Features»).

In the list of programs that appears, we find Chinese characters, click on them with the second mouse button and select the item " Delete Change».

3. The first unusual will appear in front of you. chinese window, in which it will be necessary to click on this hieroglyph.

In the second window, click on this hieroglyph.

And in the end confirm removal of baidu program by pressing the first button of the window that appears.

Immediately after that, you will see the process of removing the Chinese program from your computer, but do not rush to rejoice.

By the way, yes, after the program is removed, you will see another window in which you will have to click "OK".

4. In most cases, not one Chinese program will be installed on the computer, but two or even three, so then it will be necessary to do the same steps over and over and in the same way. uninstall all Chinese programs from your computer.

I repeat - you can watch the video in more detail about the removal of each of the Chinese programs.

After making sure that there is no more Chinese left among the programs in the control panel, you can safely proceed to the next phase of cleaning your computer from unwanted software.

5. Even though you just uninstalled Baidu, I hasten to upset you - it is still present on your computer. It is enough to open the "Task Manager" again and you will see that there are fewer processes in Chinese, but a couple of them are still present there.

Moreover, usually there remain, let's say, the most harmful processes - those that simply cannot be removed and those that cannot be completed.

6. Basically, everything we just did was just a partial deletion.

To completely remove baidu from the computer, further actions must be performed in safe mode and this is where we need the very text document that we created and filled in at the very beginning.

7. We reboot the computer, and while nothing has appeared on the screen yet, we begin to press the key from time to time F8 on keyboard... In an amicable way, such a menu should appear in front of you.

8. Using the "Up" and "Down" arrows on the keyboard, select the "Safe Mode" item and press "Enter".

9. After loading operating system in safe mode baidu program will not be able to start its harmful processes, which means that here we can finally get rid of it.

Open our text document in notepad and copy the first line - the first path.

Click Start and paste the copied path into the line “ Find programs and files". In some cases, you can use the "Run" line.

We inserted the address, pressed "Enter" and went straight to the folder where this or that file of the Chinese baidu program is located, which is just the same responsible for starting additional processes.

What do you think should be done with this file? Of course, DELETE!!! Moreover, I highly recommend deleting the contents of the entire folder, and even better, the folder itself by going up one or more directories.

IMPORTANT!!! If suddenly the copied file is somewhere in the system folder, then, of course, you cannot delete it entirely.

10. Using the paths copied into the text document, we delete everything that may indicate the Chinese antivirus Baidu.

How, for example, did I do it?

After doing all the work, I found out that I started this program from these folders:

C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Baidu \ BaiduAn \ 3.0.0.3971
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Common Files \ Baidu \ BaiduHips \ 1.1.0.733

Looking at these paths, I completely deleted the Baidu folder from the Program Files directory with all its subdirectories and files in the first case and deleted the Baidu folder from the Common Files directory, which is already inside the Program Files folder in the second case.

Of course, it was possible to delete only the final folder of the program, but since we want to delete baidu, then we delete it completely.

Below I attach a list of possible paths along which this program or some of its files can be located.

List of paths (addresses) of the Baidu program

C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Baidu \ BaiduAn \ 3.0.0.3971

C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Common Files \ Baidu \ BaiduHips \ 1.1.0.733

C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Baidu \

C: \ Users \ your computer name \ AppData \ Local \ Baidu \ Baidu \ 1.3.1.157

HKEY_CURRENT_USER: Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run: baidu

11. After you delete all folders with the name "Baidu" from your computer, you can safely restart your computer and rejoice in the absence of this incomprehensible Chinese program.

There are different opinions about Chinese antiviruses on the Runet. Someone is shouting from their blogs and channels on Youtube that, they say, down with conservatism, arm yourself with the innovations of the IT industry from the Celestial Empire itself. Security software is good, high-quality, no worse than any "celebrities" there - Avira, Dr.Web, Avast, etc. install a Chinese antivirus program on their PC. They try, compare, figure out what and how ... in short, they test.

As already mentioned, there is also a group of users with a downright opposite mood. How else can they react differently if the Chinese "defender" has been installed in Windows on its own, without warnings, without requests or questions. And it seems to be working, functioning ... Only that he "works" there, or more precisely, processes, is incomprehensible.
