My Windows Defender is showing malware AndroidOS/Multiverze. I am trying to remove it, but unable to remove. Other third-parties Antiviruses don't recognize it and behave normally. Tell a solution to remove it.

Best way to remove problem Malware

Hi There,

I am trying to remove a bundle of Malware without success.

There is a bundle of listed programs which I try to uninstall through the typical Control Panel effort, but they remain listed there:

Buenosearch Toolbar
MyPC Backup
PC Performer
Speed Test 127
UnknownFile

I was looking at this weblink which provides a 5 step process for Buenosearch alone:

Not sure how much certain guides can be trusted. One of the first things I read was to download Revo Uninstaller, and I've not heard of it so I'm not sure if it's trustworthy..........

 

Get message Defender is removing Malware.

Sounds like the malware detections may be in a browser.

Can you give us the complete name/file path of the malware (as it appears under quarantine or on the list of detected items)?

Have you emptied temporary internet files and rebooted the computer? Then do a manual update of WD followed by a Quick Scan.

Any new browser extensions that need to be disabled?

Malware removal


Understood, OldMike. I will keep your suggestion in mind. I always appreciate suggestions from those who know more than I do. I think the Malware did do more than one scan, because I had to approve removal of what it found twice. I don't see Windows Defender on the list of programs. I think it was on there before they redid the software. Pluto TV also disappeared.
