Windows 10: About 'ByteFance'

Hi, I am Suman Saha. I was trying to understand the windows defender malware protection feature. Depending on previous advice of one of my question regarding the internet security of Windows 10, I found that my 'controlled folder access feature' of windows defender was on. This was a week ago, I suddenly noticed that a program named 'ByteFence' is scanning my computer to protect it from malware. I also check my control panel and saw that it is installed already (naturally I didn't install it as I can remember). Now the problem is -


1. As a result of auto scanning of BytrFence, there have 69 risks on my Computer(screenshot added). It offers a pro version also. Should I activate it? Should I believe the result? Actually, before few days my PC was also scanned by Windows defender and the scan report was good.




2. When I try to check the 'virus and threat protection' segment of Windows Defender, 'your virus & thread protection is managed by your organization' -this message is shown. Clearly, the virus and threat protection are disabled.




3. When I try to uninstall the ByteFence, I noticed that the product is authenticated by 'Microsoft Corporation'. Is it really? Then, please advice me on how I can run both the application simultaneously.


Actually, it is important for me to be aware of malware because my source of income is internet marketing. I need your valuable suggestion for that. Thanks in advance.

ByteFence.

I'm trying to remove ByteFence. Everybody says just go to Control Panel > Programs and Features and remove it from there. The problem is that the program is NOT listed. Any Suggestions?

 

ByteFence Removal

Follow the steps here:

Skip step 1 if it is not listed.

If you want to do this without installing some third party tools, you will have to reinstall Windows. The tools are good and safe.

 

What it ByteFence? Should I remove it?

Have you sought assistance from your antimalware provider (Avast, AVG, Avira, McAfee, Norton, Trend Micro, etc)?

See the following free multi-step removal guide from Malwaretips.com:

If you do not see the program in Control Panel that you think is responsible for the ads and popups or you cannot uninstall it then move on to steps 2 through 4. After using AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes
Free, it may not be necessary to run Hitman Pro (Trial Version) as suggested in step 4 but you may need to reset your browsers (step 5).
