Windows 10: Work Group Inc Product AKA Idle Buddy virus

How should I go about removing this virus? https://malwarecomplaints.info/remove-idle-buddy-virus-uninstall/

Any help is appreciated.

:)

 

Idle Buddy Malware Definitions Update?

Thanks.

I ran Emsisoft, and it detected and deleted a few unknowns, but not the Idle Buddy, which was what I was hoping to remove. However, the Malwarebytes removal tool worked wonders. Apparently, it was a "mkeeper" file listed below verbatim:

"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\MKeeperStat\mkeeper.exe".

Ran a Hitmanpro scan, and it found three additional malware files.

Computer working fine now, with no indications of Idle Buddy or malwares.

Thanks for your support and help.

Also look for suspicious programs which you may have installed to bring it on. Uninstall them also
