    Uninstalling a Virus


    I was looking through my computer and found a virus called smartbar. I tried to uninstall it but I couldn’t (apparently the app is open or something BS I know). Is there any way I could do it otherwise? I don’t like having a virus on my PC.

    Hi Quad.

    Download and run malwarebytes. Use the free version and get it by going to the address malwarebytes.com

    Don't search as you can get crappy malware infested versions.

    After you've clean the virus off you can uninstall malwarebytes.
