Your computer is now clean...! That's all I'm going to ask you to do...:

• Download KpRm and save it to your Desktop (see here if you must use Chrome)
• Note: If the file is detected as malware it is not and it is safe to download. The detection is a false positive.
• Right click on the icon and select Run as administrator
• Click Yes on the Disclaimer
• Place a check mark in Delete Tools, Create Restore Point, and Delete in 7 days
• Click Run
• Click OK on All operations are completed
• KpRm will delete itself from you Desktop and you can either save or remove the report that is generated
• You are free to remove any other tools/reports still remaining
• Please copy and paste its contents in your next reply.

Stay Safe...!
