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.

There is such chinese antivirus – Baidu... And, they say, quite good. Personally, I haven't installed it yet, so I can't say anything about it. But the trouble is that among users there is a bad reputation about him. This is due to the fact that various malicious programs (for example, Baidu An, Baidu Sd and others) are disguised under the Chinese antivirus and, working on computers, spoil the lives of their owners. These malicious programs slow down the system, change the start page in browsers, display various advertisements in them, download unwanted software from the Internet, and install browser toolbars.
Like this chinese baida gets on the computer? As a rule, this happens when you download some program from some "muddy" site. And then during its installation, this very Baidu is additionally installed on your computer. Moreover, this process usually takes place in a hidden mode, and you cannot even refuse to install it.
As an IT guy, it surprises me that most of these Chinese programs are digitally signed by Baidu. In fact, it turns out that these are such “legal malware”.
On this I, perhaps, will finish my introductory remarks and move on to answering the main question: “ How to remove baidu from computer?”.
In this article, I suggest you two ways to get rid of Baidu... The first is to remove Baidu automatically. using AntiSMS program... Second - manual Baidu removal.
If you choose the first option, then you will need to create a bootable USB flash drive with the AntiSMS utility and then boot the infected computer from it. Then she will do everything herself. This method is described in detail here. We open it and do everything as it says there.
If this method seems difficult to you or it did not help, then we will remove baidu almost manually. I must say right away that this process is not fast: it will not be possible to solve the problem by pressing one button.
So let's get started:
1. We stop Baidu services. On the infected computer, go to "Start" - "Control Panel" - "Administrative Tools" - "Services". In the list we find a service named Baidu(or something similar). In my case, the service was started “ BaiduHips”:
Open it with a double click and click the "Stop" button. If you don't have any Baidu-related services, just exit here.
2. We complete the Baidu processes. We call "Windows Task Manager". To do this, you can right-click at the bottom of the screen on the taskbar and select "Start Task Manager": 
Here we go to the tab “ Processes”. Let's sort all processes alphabetically by clicking on the “Image name” column. Now let's see what we have here in the letter B... This screenshot shows that six Baidu processes are running on the computer: 
You can right-click each process in turn and select “ Open file storage location”. After that, a window will open, in the top line of which you can see the full path to this file. But memorizing this path is not necessary.
Right click on each of these Chinese processes and select “ End the process”. The system will ask you if you really want to end it - press the “End process” button again.
It is possible that not all Baidu processes can be completed. A window may appear: “The operation could not be completed. Access denied". It's okay - just skip it:
3. Remove Baidu from startup. To do this, you can use the standard Windows tool ("Start" - "Run" - msconfig- "Startup"), but I suggest using the utility CCleaner.
Launch CCleaner(if you don't have it, you can download it) - select the “” tab on the left. In the window that opens, we find the program in which the word “ baidu”. We click on it with the right mouse button and select “Delete” - “OK”. There may be several of them here. It is not a fact that they can all be removed.
4. Remove Baidu using the standard Windows uninstaller. Go to "Start" - "Control Panel" - "Programs and Features" ("Add or Remove Programs" in Windows XP).
Here we organize programs by installation date(to do this, click on the "Installed" column). Those. at the very top, those programs that have been installed recently will be displayed. In my case, the Chinese programs turned out to be on top:
It is possible that you will not have them here.
We are trying to remove these programs from the computer: select the first one and press the “Remove” button. The following window will open in which we click on the highlighted hieroglyph: 
In general, the entire deletion process is purely intuitive, since I do not know Chinese characters (I think, like most of those reading this article 🙂).
In the following windows, click the buttons that are highlighted in my case: 
In the last window, you can put all the jackdaws: 
One program was removed!
Now we delete the following: 
5. Now we will use a very good utility for removing various Adware, which is called. It is completely free and does not require installation.
Download the program. After that, launch it - press the button “ Scan”. At the end of the scanning process, press the button " Clear”. Then the program will ask to restart a computer- we agree: 
6. As soon as the computer goes into reboot, we immediately begin to press on the keyboard many times F8 key in order to get into Safe mode... This must be done, otherwise all the actions we performed before this will be in vain - You can completely wipe out Baidu from your computer only in Safe Mode.
So, press the key F8 when the computer boots up. After a while, the following screen will appear in front of us: 
Using the arrow on the keyboard, select the item “ Safe mode”And press the Enter key.
After Windows boots into Safe Mode, go to “Computer” (“My Computer”). We do not pay attention to the fact that all the icons on the desktop are large, the screen resolution is low and in general the appearance is not very familiar.
In the search box, type the word baidu and press Enter: 
We are waiting for a while until the system finds all the paths on the computer where Baidu is. When the list is finally built, delete all folders and files related to baidu: 
If suddenly a malicious file is found somewhere in the system folder, then the folder itself, of course, cannot be deleted - we delete only this file.
I will give an example, in which folders the files can be located baidu(including hidden files):
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Baidu \
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ BaiduEx \
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Baidu \ BaiduAn \ 3.0.0.3971
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Baidu \ BaiduSd \ 2.1.0.3086
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Common Files \ Baidu \ BaiduHips \ 1.1.0.733
C: \ Program Files \ Baidu \
C: \ Program Files \ BaiduEx \
C: \ Program Files \ Common Files \ Baidu
C: \ Users \ Public \ Documents \ Baidu \
C: \ ProgramData \ Baidu \
C: \ Users \ your computer name \ AppData \ Roaming \ Baidu
C: \ Users \ your computer name \ AppData \ Local \ Baidu \ Baidu \ 1.3.1.157
Baidu files can also be located on the system under the guise of drivers. Here is a list of such files that you need to find and delete manually:
C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Drivers \ BDMWrench.sys
C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Drivers \ BDSafeBrowser.sys
C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Drivers \ bd0004.sys
C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Drivers \ BDMNetMon.sys
C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Drivers \ BDArKit.sys
C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Drivers \ bd0003.sys
C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Drivers \ bd0002.sys
C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Drivers \ bd0001.sys
C: \ Windows \ System32 \ bd64_x86.dll
C: \ Windows \ System32 \ bd64_x64.dll
After all the folders with Baidu files are deleted, start the search again: suddenly there is something else left. Then restart your computer.
7. After the computer restarts, Baidu should no longer be on it. But I still recommend that you finally scan your computer with the program Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
You can download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from the official website (the free version is enough). Install it and run it. In the window that opens, click on the link “ Update Now”To update the anti-virus database of the application. Then we press the big button “ Scan now”To start checking: 
Upon completion, you will see a window with a list of found malicious components (if, of course, they are still in the system). In this case, press the button “ Apply Actions" ("Take measures"). After cleaning, be sure to restart your computer.
After removing all malware from your computer, you can uninstall Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
Today we are going to get to know Baidu. What it is? This question is rather complicated. After all, the creators of this brainchild cannot give a definite answer. Or do not want to do it. Therefore, you will have to work hard to figure out what kind of application is in front of us, as well as how you can get rid of it once and for all. Let's try to understand what is the matter here.
Description
What is Baidu? Of course, if you have already encountered this infection, then, most likely, you realized that this is some kind of application. It's in Chinese. And before us is nothing more than an Asian antivirus. But it can be extremely difficult to remove it. Why?
The point is that if you are interested in the topic: "Baidu - what kind of program is this?", Then, most likely, the usual removal of the application did not help you. And this is understandable. After all, we will have to deal with a real virus. It just clutters up the computer and slows down its processes. In parallel, of course, it attracts new computer viruses, and also installs various kinds of applications and programs. But how do you know if your operating system is infected?
Signs of illness
Baidu - what is it? As we said, it is a virus. Chinese infection disguised as an anti-virus program. True, if you get rid of this rubbish in time, then it does not carry. For this you need to know the signs of infection. What are they?
The first thing you should pay attention to is the appearance of the application of the same name in the list of installed programs. We saw, for example, the inscription Baidu Version 1.5 - no need to guess what it is. It is a Chinese Trojan antivirus.
Then the brakes begin on the infected computer. At first they are small, but over time they increase more and more. For example, the operating system takes several minutes to boot. Have you noticed the slowdown of your computer? It's time to sound the alarm.
Baidu - what is this program that no longer manifests itself in any way? This is the question most users ask. Only in practice it turns out that "Baida" installs third-party content "on the quiet" for you. Don't believe me? Then take a look at the list of installed applications. There you will find several unfamiliar programs. This is Baidu's job. So if third-party content appears on your computer (especially in Chinese), it's time to think about treating the operating system.
Control Panel
Now you and I know what Baidu is. What kind of antivirus is it that will have to be removed in clever ways? It is this question that worries many users. Just don't panic. Usually, to get rid of this infection, you just have to combine all possible options for removing applications and viruses in one go.
Let's start with you by getting rid of the program itself. To do this, go to "Start", and then in There, find and click on this item. Now wait while a list of all content installed on your computer is generated. Ready? Then let's look for what we need.
Review the list carefully. Find Baidu Version there. What's this? Just what we need. Click on the line with the right mouse button, and then select the "Delete" command there. Now click on the white buttons, and at the very end - on the blue one. This is the only way to get rid of the application. But do not rush to reboot, as the computer requires. You need to do this process only after all the points of treatment of the operating system have been completed. After all, otherwise you will have the antivirus of the same name again, and all the actions will have to be repeated anew.
Dispatcher
Further, it would be nice to look at the processes that are carried out while working at the computer. This will help the "Task Manager". This service can be called by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del, and then selecting the required line of actions.
A small window will appear in front of you. In it you will have to go to the "Processes" tab. Find Baidu.exe there. What's this? Our virus, of course. This is how it is registered in the system. And because of the constantly running process, it is very, very difficult to remove the Chinese antivirus. Sometimes it’s impossible.
What to do in this situation? Just terminate the executable process. To do this, select it with the mouse cursor, click on the right button and select the "End Process" option there. Next, a warning about possible malfunctions of the computer will pop up. Do not be alarmed, it always happens that way. Just confirm your actions, and then rejoice - there is very little time left for healing.
Antivirus to help
Next, you need to scan your computer for various kinds of computer infection. A good antivirus will help with this. Many users prefer Nod32, Avast or Dr.Web. These are the applications that do their job best.
You will have to do a deep test. When configuring scan parameters, do not forget to tick the browsers and all hard disk partitions. This process can take a long time. So be patient. Plus, it is not recommended to work at the computer during scanning - this is a very complex process that takes up not only time, but also computer system resources. You will just feel uncomfortable.
As soon as the check is over, cure everything.To do this, a special button will appear. Of course, not all infection is treatable. Delete the remaining malicious files. There is also a button in the antivirus for this venture. In principle, you can close the application. But don't rush to restart your computer. There is still a small action that will definitely help you.
Registry
We'll have a computer. The Ccleaner application will help you with this idea. It is best (and faster) for automatically cleaning the operating system registry.
This application is freely available. It will be enough just to download, install and configure it. Setting up is as follows: on the left side of the screen, check all the hard disk partitions, temporary files, and browsers. That's all. Now, on the right side of the window, click on "Analysis". Wait a few seconds - a new button will appear. It's called Cleaning. Click on it and wait for the process to complete. That's all the problems are solved. You can restart your computer and enjoy the result.
Extreme measures
Now you know the answer to the question, "What is Baidu?" How to remove this infection from a computer is no longer a secret either. But in practice, sometimes you have to go to extreme measures. What is it about?
Yes, that users do not attach importance to brakes and other signals from the computer that it is infected. And in the end it turns out that all that remains is to reinstall the operating system. To be honest, only this scenario is capable of giving a 100% guarantee that a computer will be cured of any virus. So try to use the Internet and treat the system in a timely manner. So that later you do not have to install a new "Windows" and restore the data.
What is Baidu? Initially, it was positioned as a good Chinese antivirus, but someone got a crazy idea to start spreading it over the network as a virus.
In the overwhelming majority of cases, the user will not even guess that this software has appeared on his machine, since the installation process is hidden and is carried out automatically.
You won't even have the opportunity to abandon questionable software.
A logical question is brewing: how to remove baidu from a windows computer so that the computer starts working again as it should.
Preliminary preparation
First of all, you need to copy all the available addresses on the disks where the miracle antivirus is found. For these purposes, we launch the task manager. This can be done in 2 ways:
- CTRL + ALT + DEL;
- Right-click on the "Start" panel and select the desired menu.
In the manager, you need to find and open the tab with processes, and then sort the malware.
To do this, click on the "image name" column to arrange all running programs and applications in alphabetical order.
The "Description" column will help you localize the Chinese spy - he will impersonate hieroglyphs.
In this case, you can observe as many as 6 processes that were opened to support the main one.
Create a new document in notepad, into which you will copy the address of the running application.
The algorithm is outrageously simple: right-click on the task and select the item indicated in the screenshot.
You will see a window with the location. All that remains is to fetch the full address, which we will need more than once. We copy this set of characters into our document.
For each process (we have 6 of them), we do the same. Remember that this is very important, and even if the paths are repeated, copy them into the document anyway.
In the end, there will be something like this picture.
Your paths may differ, so don't pay too much attention to the example. Only the algorithm and the sequence of actions performed are shown here.
Removing software
Despite the fact that the uninstallation takes place in Chinese, which is incomprehensible to many, there is nothing complicated about it. The main thing is to be attentive.
First you need to go to "remove programs". Click "Start" - "Control Panel". The desired item, by the way, can also be called "programs and components".
We are waiting for the entire list of software to download and find a malicious product with a blue label. We are not interested in green.
Right click on it - delete.
You will see a rather unusual Chinese window. Now you have to rely only on screenshots with explanations, because confusing a button is a piece of cake.
Click on the highlighted key.
A window will appear with a question mark and a strange request. We press the left set of hieroglyphs, as shown below.
This will confirm the deletion. Now it remains to wait while the set of executable files is uninstalled. Do not rush to rejoice, because at the end the window will come out again.
We press the only button, but in no case check the boxes anywhere.
Now let's remember the second program with a "green" label. You need to get rid of it in a similar way.
Do this until you finally make sure that the system is more or less "cleared" of a foreign infection of the Chinese kind.
Note! If you think that this is all, you are mistaken. Open Task Manager again and check that Baidu is still functional, but in lesser numbers. Now you need to "kill" all residual processes.
Let's say right away that it will not work to do this in the standard way. You will see the following message.
Part of the unwanted guest you got rid of. It remains to clean out all unnecessary garbage. To do this, you will need the text document that was created at the very beginning of the process.
First, reboot into safe mode. We press restart and periodically press F8 on the keyboard. If everything is done correctly, this window will open.
We are interested in "Safe Mode". We open this item with arrows and pressing Enter. Now Baidu will not be able to launch because we have revoked its rights.
It remains only to "finish off" would-be antivirus.
Open notepad, copy the first path and paste it into Start - the "Run" line. Press "Enter" and go to the desired address.
You see several folders with the desired name, which you need to permanently delete.
Using the previously copied paths, we delete everything related to malware.
Now that you have done all this cumbersome and time-consuming work, and you have managed to remove the baidu antivirus from your computer, you can safely reboot the system into normal mode and rejoice in the absence of extraneous software.
Advice! Additionally, we would recommend installing a special cleaning program like CCleaner or Auslogics BoostSpeed. With their help, it would be a good idea to thoroughly scan and clean drives C and D, and then fix possible registry errors. It will only do you good. At the same time, you will finally make sure to remove unnecessary software.
Now you are once again convinced that downloading something on the Internet from unknown and dubious sources is fraught with danger.
At best, you can download the wrong file. At worst, you catch a virus, or such a wonderful antivirus, and you won't even know that it has penetrated your system.
If you are not sure, ask a knowledgeable person to help you, or learn how to use torrent trackers and safe resources where there is no such "bear" service. Good luck to you.
How to remove Baidu from your computer. Baidu how to get rid of the Chinese program
How to Remove Baidu Antivirus from Windows Computer Permanently? detailed instructions
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.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
