    Microsoft.YourPhone pop up, is this a virus?


    I was watching a football match on my laptop and I got a pop up message "Microsoft.Yourphone" I have attached a screenshot. I didn't run the app and I don't remember installing Microsoft your phone, is this a virus?

    No. That's a real Microsoft app. Useless in my opinion, but it's real.
    There are about 30(?) Microsoft apps installed with Windows 10.

    Microsoft updates them and even installs new apps, without asking.

    There is a nifty little program called REVO Uninstaller (free), which can easily remove Microsoft apps.
    It can uninstall anything, but today we're just concerned with MS apps.

    Download Revo Uninstaller Free - Remove unwanted programs easily

    I have removed just about ALL the MS apps. The ones shown in the picture below, you shouldn't remove.

    If you're not sure about what removing a particular app will do... just ask here.

    It's useful for checking your SMS's quickly and some other stuff... but stopped using it because it started to use a lot of CPU out of nothing...
