  1. Idle Buddy Malware Definitions Update?


    Have an Idle Buddy Malware nuance that won't uninstall completely. Uninstalled from uninstall menu (titled under a weird "Work" title), and it was removed from corner Windows menu (old start menu popup), but still shows running in the background in the far-right taskbar up-arrow menu option. Any definitions update or additions happening with it? It says it won't slow computer down, but I read it's a cryptocurrency miner with ads and more. Anyhow, don't want it running or gathering data from my PC and slowing down my PC and hacking my financials. Any word on how to remove until definitions update? Don't want to download third malware removal tools or programs, as they usually screw up settings, slow PC's down, and run adware and malware themselves and are a pain to remove.

    :)
