Delete it and run anitvirus.

If you've previously won the build off please pm me so we can get something worked out.

Run Malwarebytes.

 

Whole system scan.

 

If you have any anti-virus like Defender, run it.

Just use Avast or AVG. Free Anti-Virus.

 

It's good.

Omg never AVG. Panda (free) or avast (free) works wonders.

Surely you downloaded it so should know :).

 

PPS: Eset Smart Security FTW.

 

Since I started installing it on client machines (with its unwanted software protection), the number of callouts has massively dropped.
