Anyone Know How To Remove PCMightyMax2010?

[Mike4AU]

My numnutz son downloaded this stupid malware/spyware program on our laptop. Research provide some instructions on how to manually get rid of it, but I do not have sufficient expertise to do it manually. Does anyone know of a free program that will get rid of this malware?

Man, at what point do stupid kids get smart?

Thanks for any help.

Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware software (free version) should remove it. This works for me when stuff gets by the antivirus software on the computers at work.

mojave, thanks for the recommendation. The software appears to have gotten rid of the malware.

Thanks!

Turn off auto login in for your computer and change your password then setup an account for your child that does not have administrative privileges.

Thanks for all the help.

I let my son on do some stuff while on my Admin account and that is when it happened. I guess I am the stupid one for letting him on my account.

You guys are great...thanks!

Looking at the bigger picture, what I really truly don't get is why would someone want to write and spread this stuff in the first place. There can't be that many malicious people in the world who would want to cause so much misery to others just because they can. :no clue::(

It just takes a few idiots or someone with an axe to grind.....

Everytime I see something like this, I am reminded about a quote I once heard:

"You can defend against evil, but you are powerless against stupidity"
