I’ve seen those steps posted as well, but I urge extreme caution. Please, please be very wary of anything that instructs you go edit your registry. Even if this is a completely innocent attempt to help out, unless you are very skilled with computers and have experience with editing a registry, don’t take this approach. All it takes is one simple entry being accidentally erased in the registry to completely ‘brick’ a system. Once that’s done, it’s almost impossible to restore it. I’m a software engineer, I know this from experience.

The advice I’ve always given is go download MalwareByte’s AntiMalware software. It’s free (there is also a payed option, but I’ve never needed it) to download and update, and it has always located and completely removed any rogueware I’ve had on my systems or on other systems I’ve helped fix.
