Not all Chinese antiviruses are created equal. Don't believe me? In vain! This fact has been proven more than once or twice by user experience. And, unfortunately, sad: some of them cause too many problems. Here is the free antivirus Baidu - also persona non grata (that is, an unwanted person) in the Windows operating system.

Yes, the developers of the company of the same name from the Celestial Empire ardently and furiously declare that, they say, our brainchild tirelessly and continuously protects computers from hacker attacks and does not ask for money, and updates its signature bases, and so on, of course, necessary and effective. But all these positive properties pale against the background of their opposite - negative. Which, by the way, are more.

If you suddenly appeared in Windows "Baida", shout "Trouble!"

So, here are five reasons (or five troubles, that's what you want), indicating that you need to remove Baidu, and then - not to regret what you have done:

• spreads on the network using adware and malware virus modules;
• arbitrarily, "quietly", is installed into the system (like a virus!);
• is not removed from the OS when using the built-in uninstaller (the remaining drivers, after cleaning and rebooting the system, reinstall Baida);
• the procedure for removing individual elements of the antivirus is complicated (the developers have provided for the protection of registry entries and files from access);
• The Chinese program for protecting your PC in most cases conflicts with other installed antivirus products: the functioning of Windows is drastically slowed down, the level of security is reduced, etc.

So, let's take a closer look at how to remove Baidu from your computer cleanly, "without noise and dust."

Activating the uninstaller

1. In the "Start" window go to "Control Panel".

2. Activate "Uninstall a program".

Baidu is a Chinese program that can get onto your computer when you download various software from unverified sources. Her job is that she changes browser settings, slips ads and in every possible way annoys and interferes with work. How to completely remove baidu from your computer will be covered in this article.

How to remove baidu from computer

Let's make a reservation right away that the removal is best done in a safe mode. To do this, you need to restart the device and press F8 at startup. You can also use the instructions on how to remove Chinese antivirus from your computer completely, which describes a similar problem.

• Launch the Task Manager window. In the tab “ Processes»You need to stop all processes that have baidu in their names. Click on them with the mouse and click on the button "Remove task".
• If the system does not allow working with processes and denies access, then proceed to the next item.
• In the search bar of the Start menu, add baidu. Everything that will be found must be deleted. If it is not deleted, then you can rename (using the menu that appears after pressing the right mouse button) and try to delete it again. If this does not work out, then go ahead, later delete these folders after reinstallation.
• Alternatively, you can delete folders named Baidu. To do this, we are looking for them in the Program Files system folders, as well as Program Data and Common Files. Similarly, we try to delete, if it does not work, then rename and try deleting again. If it does not work out and so, then leave and delete after reboot. Some folders of the malicious program can be hidden, so first you need to press the Alt key and go to the "Tools" in the "Folder options" item. There we put a checkmark in front of the item that will allow you to show hidden folders and files.
  
• Next, you need to download and install the CCleaner program. The download can be done from the developer's site absolutely free.
  
• After installing the CCleaner program, launch it and go to the "Startup" section, which can be seen in the panel on the left.
• In each tab in the window on the right, delete everything that contains the word baidu or Chinese characters in the Publisher field.
  
• Then you need to clean up the registry. All actions in the registry must be performed very carefully, since the removal of something that does not belong to harmful software can greatly affect the operation of the system not for the better.
• To do this, open the registry window with the regedit command written in the window called by the Win + R buttons.
• In the registry window, select the "Computer" line by clicking on it with the mouse once.
• Then, click on the "Edit" tab and select "Find Next".
  
• In the search box, enter Baidu and click on the "Find Next" button.
  
• You need to delete everything that contains the name Baidu (look in both the Name field and the Value field). If the folder is not deleted, then we try to rename and delete again.
• To be correct, you need to repeat the search several times (in general, it should turn out about forty times) until we reach the end of the registry, and the search results will not be zero.
• After that, in the Start menu you can see if there are any programs in Chinese there. If there is, then copy the name and also drive it into the registry search. Delete what will be found.

Baidu is a Chinese antivirus and that says it all. The program was developed by the creators of the largest search engine after Google. The application is distributed in the form of a malicious program, installed on a computer in the background (silent installation) without notifying the user, and after starting it constantly monitors active processes, slowing down the computer and conflicting with the installed antivirus. Many Windows users, having fallen victim to such an "antivirus", are looking for ways to remove Baidu. Today we will do this.
In general, the procedure for uninstalling Baidu is not much different from uninstalling other products, in addition to the absence of the uninstall.exe file in the directory with the program and its interface in Chinese, which complicates even such a simple task as clicking the "Yes" or "Ok" button.

• Finishing all Baidu-related Windows processes.

To perform this action, launch the task manager. It is invoked using the "Ctrl + Shift + Esc" keyboard shortcut or the context menu in the Windows taskbar.

Go to the "Processes" tab and sort them by name by clicking on the name of the first column "Image name".
Then we find all the processes whose names begin with the word "baidu" and complete them all in order: select the process by clicking the mouse and press Delete or select the command "End process" in the context menu of the process and confirm its execution in order to be able to delete the application with all footprints.

An easier way to do this is to use the Process Explorer utility. In it, select the main process named Baidu, press Shift + Del and confirm the completion of the process tree.

• We remove the program from the computer using the built-in uninstaller through the "Taskbar" tool called "Programs and Features" ".

To uninstall the application, open the "Control Panel" and go to "Programs and Features" - the application responsible for removing any Windows components.

We go down to the bottom of the list of applications installed in Windows and find the "antivirus", focusing on its blue icon and the name containing hieroglyphs.
We call the context menu of the element, which is Baidu, and select the only item in the drop-down menu "Delete / Change".

After the appearance of a yellow window with a white sun inside, click on the white button located to the right (as in the screenshot).

This will launch Baidu's uninstaller on your computer. In order to remove this garbage, in the next window we also press the white button, launching the uninstallation of the antivirus from the computer.

We confirm our intentions to rid Windows of applications by clicking on the same white "Delete" button.

After that, the last dialog box will appear, where we simply press a single button, an analogue of the classic "OK". You do not need to leave any checkboxes.

• We are removing the second program, which is installed with Baidu.

We launch the Windows Control Panel element called "Programs and Features" and, as with the removal of Baidu, we call the only context menu item of the remaining program with a green icon.

In the window that appears with a green heading, we also click the button located to the left, which allows you to remove Baidu.

This will immediately remove the remaining program from the Windows computer. We wait until the process completes.

In the last window, also click on the single button.

• We get rid of the computer from the Chinese programs that slow down the work of Windows completely.

Again, we launch the "Task Manager" by any method and try to complete the process remaining after Baidy. It is usually protected and the operation will fail.

We reboot the computer in safe mode by pressing the F8 key and selecting the appropriate item in the menu that appears after loading the BIOS.

We go into the “Program Files” and “Program Files (x86)” directories one by one, we find the directories whose name begins with the phrase “Baidu” and delete them from the computer, preferably by means of the “Shift + Delete” combination, bypassing the basket.

After that, you can use the functionality of the CCleaner program or something similar. This utility will scan your computer for the remains of an unsafe application and will quickly remove them both from the disk and from the Windows registry.

Are there any windows with hieroglyphs, rockets and shields constantly appearing on your desktop? This is an antivirus developed by our Chinese brothers, which, in its essence, is precisely an antivirus program. At the same time, since this software is installed without the user's consent and independently performs actions on the computer, it can be considered malicious. In this article, we will figure out how to remove the annoying Chinese virus.

The programs that will be discussed below are presented in two types - Baidu and Tencent... They both have similar properties and can run in parallel on the same computer. Pests are located in the appropriate folders.

C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Baidu Security \ Baidu Antivirus \ 5.4.3.148966.2
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Tencent \ QQPCMgr \ 12.7.18987.205

Programs add their components to startup, Explorer context menu, start processes. Let's take a look at deletion using Baidu as an example. Both methods below are only the first stage, after completing it, you need to perform some more actions, but about everything in order.

Method 1: uninstall using programs

The easiest way to remove Chinese viruses from your computer is to use a program such as Revo Uninstaller. It is able not only to remove software, but also to clean the system from the remaining files and registry keys. In addition, Revo can detect those programs that are not displayed in the list, including in "Control panels" Windows.

There is also a utility called AdwCleaner in nature, with which you can try to remove pests.

Method 2: Standard System Tools

Standard tools mean removal using an applet "Control panels" "Programs and Features".

If the program is missing in "Control panels", then you need to go along one of the paths indicated above and find a file with the name "Uninstall"... After launching it, you should do the same with uninstallation.

Additional operations

By following the recommendations above, the Chinese virus can be removed, but some files and folders may remain on the disk as they are blocked by running background processes. "Tails" in the form of keys will also remain in the registry. There is only one way out - load the system into "Safe Mode"... With such a load, most programs do not start, and we can remove all unnecessary things manually.

1. First of all, we enable the display of hidden resources. This is done by pressing a button. "Arrange" and choosing an item Folder and Search Options in any folder, in our case it is "Computer".

   

   In the settings window that opens, go to the tab "View", put the switch in position Show hidden files, folders and drives and click Apply.

   

2. You can use a standard Windows function or special programs to search for files and folders.

   We drive the name of the virus into the search - "Baidu" or "Tencent" and delete all documents and directories that we can find.

   

3. Next, go to the registry editor - press the keyboard shortcut Win + R and write the command

   

   Go to the menu "Edit" and select the item "Find".

   

   Enter the name of the virus in the appropriate field and click Find Next.

   

   After the system finds the first key, it must be deleted (RMB - "Delete") and then press the key F3 to continue the search process.

   

   We do this until the editor displays a message that the search is complete.

   

   If you are afraid (or just too lazy) to dig into the registry manually, then you can use the CCleaner program to clean up unnecessary keys.

This completes the removal of the Chinese antivirus virus.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we can say that you need to be more careful when installing various programs, especially free ones, to your computer. Do not give consent to the installation of additional software, remove all the jackdaws in the installers. These rules will help to avoid problems with the subsequent removal of any nasty things from the system.
