Exactly. No need to buy or download anything. You don’t need Trojan Killer to remove Astromenda. This guide gives you ways to remove it manually. Those who don’t want to do a few simple steps are people who need Trojan Killer to do it for them.
Thanks, this really helped as I don’t currently have the money to buy security software.
After reading all the comments above, it seems that my suggestion is the simplest way….don’t you think?
I expect you will receive some warm thank you comments after people try it my way.
Please remove this from my computer I don’t want it
S. Aigle thank you very much for that simple fix. All clear now without the extra headaches of Trojankiller!!
This is a scam. It is not free unless you only have 2 items to be removed, which it does not specify until AFTER your computer has been scanned. Shame on you for scamming that you can fix a scam.
This is not a scam. My article is not a scam. If you read the Privacy Statement you will know what Trojan Killer is. And you will find out that it removes only 2 items with its free trial. Most of my articles are devoted to manual removal. I explain this very well. In fact, I make an emphasis on manual removal of all malwares.
