Remove Reimage and Reimageplus - Here's how

This practical tip shows you how to remove Reimageplus or Reimage repair from your PC.

How to remove the Reimage / Reimageplus adware

Reimage is not a virus directly, but rather unwanted adware. To remove them, follow the steps below.

1. Open the Control Panel and click on "Uninstall a program". Sort all installed programs by date and remove any suspicious tools you have recently installed. Possible names of the adware programs are "Convert Files for Free", "SafeSaver", "ValueApps", "Lollipop", "Software Updated Version", "SupTab" or "Video Player". However, they may have nested with you under another synonym.
2. In the Chrome browser, remove any suspicious-looking extensions you've recently installed. Then reset your Chrome browser to the default settings. The same applies to Firefox and Internet Explorer.
3. Download the AdwCleaner and use the tool to scan your system. This may take some time. Then click "Clean" to free your computer from the remains of the Reimageplus adware.
4. Then scan your PC with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and remove all the finds from your PC.
5. As a security measure, in the last step you should also run Hitman Pro on your system and remove potential dangers.

Expert tip: Upgrade notebook for more security

Windows 7 has had its day: Microsoft discontinues support for the operating system and will gradually no longer deliver new security updates and bug fixes. The problem: Your PC becomes more vulnerable to adware like Reimage and Reimage Plus and even viruses.

• If you want to continue to receive updates and security fixes, you have to switch to the new Windows 10. Users of the earlier versions of Windows can still get the upgrade for free.
• Everyone else can save money with a new notebook with Windows 10 pre-installed. Relatively strong and well-equipped models are available from around 250 euros. Support for these devices is guaranteed not to be discontinued for the next few years.
