    Whenever I get online, i get an update from NEWSMAX

    it appears as a square on my desktop that i can CLOSE/X out of.


    how do i get rid of that? I used CCcleaner to search for it, no luck
    should I upgrade CC cleaner to pro?(kinda unrelated, but I think I should, seems to a good value if MG recommends I use the free version. thoghts??)

    some site I gotta pay to remove newsmax
    https://www.exterminate-it.com/malpedia/remove-newsmax-com


    It doesnt seem to do anything, but I have no idea about computers, really

    First, run AdwCleaner from Step 1 of the Read & Run Me First Malware Removal Guide and upload the created logfile.

    Then follow these instructions:
    Please download ZHPCleaner to your desktop.
    • Close all applications (including your web browsers and antivirus)
    • Double-click on ZHPCleaner to run the tool.
    • If you are using Windows Vista, 7/8/10; instead of double-clicking, right-mouse click ZHPCleaner and select "Run as Administrator".
    • Please click the "J'accepte/I agree" button.
      • First press the "Scanner" button. Be patient, the scan may take awhile.
      • Do NOT fix/repair anything yet! Please upload that logfile with your next reply.
