The PC MightyMax application is a common virus that has appeared on the radar in recent months, causing many kinds of reliability issues with people’s computers. This malicious program first appeared around August 2010 and has caused thousands of people frustration with its pop-ups and advertisements, leading to a growing demand for a quick and easy solution. If you find this infection on your computer, you will need an effective solution to get rid of it. The following instructions will show you the best possible way to remove the program.
What is PC Mighty Max?
PC MightMax is what is known as a “malware” program, a malicious piece of software created by professional spyware programmers. The problem with MightyMax is that it has been designed in such a way that it looks like a legitimate program, because the creators hope that it will trick people into buying the upgrades it advertises. MightyMax can infect your computer through various sources, for example a drive-by download or fake email, or it can even attach itself to legitimate programs that you download. The virus gets installed on your PC and then it will start blocking certain programs and settings to make you think that you have big problems with your PC. This also makes it difficult to remove.
How to remove PC MightyMax from your system
Knowing about PC Mighty Max is not enough, especially if you have it installed on your computer. The biggest challenge is removing it. Fortunately, there is a removal process that you can perform. First, download the “Frontline Rogue Remover” software, which can be found online or you can download it from another computer and transfer it to your computer via CD or USB. This program is very useful because it is designed to show users how to remove malicious software in simple steps. After installation, let the software scan your system. It targets and removes 95% of infections.
Next, clean the system registry with a legitimate registry cleaning tool that finishes the job started by Frontline Rogue Remover. A registry cleaning tool will identify leftover PC Mighty Max registry keys and remove them. That way, they won’t have a chance to come back and infect your system again in the future. Registry keys often go unnoticed; they leave traces such as settings, options and directories that allow the virus to persist after “removal”.
To be sure, go to your Task Manager and then open the “Processes” tab. Finish the process of those on the list. See “My Computer” for PC Mighty Max directories. Select the ones you find and send them to the Recycle Bin by deleting them. Finally, empty the Recycle Bin to permanently rid your computer of the virus and any traces it may have left behind. The removal process is quite easy to do. If the virus persists, it must have missed some directories or registry keys. Repeat the process and be more thorough in removing any existing virus.
