Ban Launchpad.org from the browser
In order to delete the virus from your browser, you should reset it to default settings. You can find instructions for the most common browsers from us:
- Reset Google Chrome to default settings
- Reset Mozilla Firefox
- Restore default settings in Internet Explorer
- You should also check your add-ons and delete suspicious ones.
Check browser shortcuts
Finally, you should check the links that, for example, point to your browser from the desktop:
- Click on the link to the browser and press "Properties".
- Click on the "Links" tab and check the specified path. For example, something similar to "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Google \ Chrome \ Application \ chrome.exe" should be entered in Google Chrome. Nothing should appear after "chrome.exe". With other browsers, this works on the same principle.
