I've been trying to remove this thing but its proving difficult. At first I thought it was part of the Advanced system optimizer I installed so I didnt pay attention to it.
I've given it my best shot but it doesnt appear any where on my system to remove. But its always there in the bottom corner loading up. I do have Advanced System Optimizer installed so I'm unsure if its actually part of that program or not.
Good Morning,Advanced System Optimizer is legit , Advanced System Protector is malwareMalwarebytes from Here Here Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program. At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware , then click Finish . If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version. Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan , then click Scan . When the scan is complete, click OK , then Show Results to view the results. Be sure that everything is checked , and click Remove Selected . When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location and post the results. Note: If you receive a notice that some of the items couldn't be removed, that they have been added to the delete on reboot list, please reboot. Post the report please
I'd like to mention that I've done this step multiple times and it always picks it up and never actually gets rid of it which is weird when it says its quarantined.www.malwarebytes.org
Reboot and do another scan with Malwarebytes and post the log please
