Baidu is Chinese program, which is considered an antivirus. However, it receives complaints from users, due to the fact that Baidu installs itself on the computer, and then begins to harm it in every possible way and shows itself as a real computer virus. Moreover, attempts to remove this program end in even greater problems, since the interface is completely in Chinese, and it can only be removed at random. And if you make a mistake with the button, other add-ons from this program may be installed on your computer, and as a result, you may not have time to save it from this malware. However, that's not all. Even if the program can be removed by uninstalling it, upon subsequent reboot it will be installed again on its own on the PC.

If you look into it, it actually installs virally. When downloading any programs from the Internet, Baidu is downloaded in hidden mode and gets onto the computer in a way that is invisible to the user. After the download is complete, the program installs itself on the computer and begins, as they say, to manage it. PC users are constantly bothered by pop-up windows, strange program sounds, the computer starts to work slower, the Internet crashes, and so on, to the point where Windows completely crashes on the PC.

Most importantly, various popular antiviruses do not recognize Baidu as a virus, and do not generate any threat signals. This at one time relaxes PC users and assures them that the program is not capable of harming their computer.

However, how can you completely remove the Chinese “baida” from Windows so that it disappears without a trace and is no longer installed? Below is a detailed step-by-step instruction removal from a personal computer.

First, you should try to remove it naturally. To do this, press the Win+X key combination and select “Control Panel” in the context menu that opens. Then go to the “Uninstall a program” tab.

Among the programs installed on the PC, we are looking for these Chinese programs. Let's start with the one whose label is depicted in the form of a green shield. Left-click on it, then select “Delete”.

An uninstallation window will open. Of the two proposed answer options, highlighted in green, choose the left option. Then, in the next dialog box, again select the left option of the two. After which the program removal begins. After completing this process, click on the only button provided, thus completing the removal of the first program.

Next, let's move on to uninstalling the program, the image of which is a blue shield. Again, right-click and select “Delete”. Next, we follow this principle: choose from the two proposed hieroglyphs the one that is not highlighted in blue. We do this twice, after which the removal process begins. In the last dialog box, we again select the only available button and this is how we complete the Baidu removal process.

However, that's not all. To ensure that the Chinese "canoe" is no longer installed, you need to remove all its connected processes.

Step Two: Removing Processes

Press the key combination Ctrl+Alt+Delete, thus calling up the “Task Manager”. Among the top tabs, select the “Processes” tab. All the processes taking place in the world are revealed to us. this moment from PC. Among them there may be one or more processes Baidu programs, you should find them in the list, which is not difficult; the description of such processes is written entirely in Chinese.

After absolutely all processes have been found, you should create a Text Document and open it. Next, we proceed according to the following principle: select the first “canoe” process that comes across in the list and right-click on it. In the context menu, select “Open file storage location”.

A folder will open in front of us, which will show the location of the process. In the top header we will see the path to the process. It should be copied and then pasted into a text document. This must be done with each process opened in the task manager.

Why are we taking this step? The fact is that when we try to delete these folders manually, we will see the message “Deleting the folder is impossible because... it is being used by another program.” For this reason, we need to remove these processes by logging into windows through “Safe Mode”. This is the only way we can delete every folder and process without a trace.

How to log into your computer through “Safe Mode”?

Method 1
This method works on many Windows, with the exception of Eight. You need to restart the computer, and when you start to reboot, start pressing the F8 key until the computer boots through “Safe Mode”.

Method 2
If Baidu removal occurs on Windows 8, you must resort to the following method:
Press the power button on the Windows login screen, then simultaneously press the combination of the Restart screen buttons and the Shift keyboard. Windows will give you a choice of actions from which you should select the Diagnostic option. Then, in the “Diagnostics” menu, you must press the “Advanced options” button. Next, select “Boot Options” and at the end select the option “Enable Safe Mode” and “Restart”. After rebooting, Windows will prompt you to select 3 options to boot into “Safe Mode”. You should press the F4 key to start Windows simply in " Safe Mode" In safe mode, the Chinese program cannot launch processes, so we have a chance to get rid of it completely.

On the desktop, open our saved text document with the paths to the Baidu files. Next you should call the “Run” line. To do this, press the Win+R key combination. Copy the first path in the list and paste it into the “Run” line. This way, the first location of the file is revealed to us, and we can delete it without a trace. To do this, right-click on the folder or file and select the “Delete” function in the context menu. We do exactly the same with all paths, deleting all folders of the Baidu virus. Once you have deleted all the files associated with this program, you can restart your computer in its normal mode.

After rebooting the PC, the Chinese antivirus will disappear without a trace without the ability to install itself, which means that your computer is no longer in danger.

If you are reading this article, then you are one of those lucky ones who discovered the Chinese Baidu antivirus on your computer, along with several others of the same name and unnecessary programs. And most likely, you have already tried to remove them, but without success. Which is due to the cunning and persistence of their creators. In addition, in addition to the antivirus itself, malicious or adware programs like to be registered under the name Baidu, which must be removed using a certain algorithm.

Before proceeding directly to uninstalling programs, you need to start your computer in "". To do this, restart it and after loading the BIOS, click " ". Afterwards, a menu will appear as in the screenshot, where select a simple “Safe Mode”.

Step #2. We end all Baidu processes.

If this happens, then we simply skip this process.

Step #3. Remove Baidu from Startup.


Step #4. Removing the body of the Baidu program using Windows.

  1. In the Control Panel, open Programs and Features.

  2. Where we look for names like those shown in the image.

  3. Select the first one and click the delete icon. This will open a window with an uninstaller, the only drawback of which is that it is in Chinese. Therefore, follow the removal instructions based on our instructions in pictures.
  4. In the first window that opens, click the icon as indicated by the arrow.

  5. In the second.

  6. Further.

  7. And in the last one, click on these hieroglyphs.

  8. This was the first one. Let's move on to the second one.
    In the first window, check all the boxes and click on this icon.

  9. In the second.

  10. In the third and last.

Actually, the process is intuitive, and if you did something wrong the first time, it will definitely work out the second time.

Step #5. Cleaning through the registry.


We repeat this with everything we find.

Having deleted everything, restart the computer and check if all files have been deleted. Remember the saved file paths taken from the “Task Manager” that you wrote down in Notepad in the second Step?

Open notepad and explorer and transfer the file paths from notepad to address bar conductor. If there is nothing, congratulations - you did it. Baidu files have been completely deleted.

Not all Chinese antiviruses are equally useful. Don't believe me? In vain! This fact has been proven more than once or twice by user experience. And, unfortunately, sad: some of them cause too many problems. That's free antivirus Baidu is also a persona non grata (that is, an undesirable person) in the Windows operating system.

Yes, the developers of the company of the same name from the Middle Kingdom hotly and furiously declare that, they say, our brainchild tirelessly and continuously protects computers from hacker attacks and does not ask for money, and updates its signature databases, and all the rest, of course, is necessary and effective. But all these positive properties fade against the background of their opposite - negative ones. Of which, by the way, there are more.

If “Baida” suddenly appears in Windows, shout “Trouble!”

So, here are five reasons (or five troubles, as you wish) indicating that you need to remove Baidu, and then not regret what you have done:

  • spreads on the network using adware and malware virus modules;
  • randomly, “quietly”, installed into the system (like a virus!);
  • is not removed from the OS when using the built-in uninstaller (the remaining drivers, after cleaning and rebooting the system, reinstall Baida);
  • removal procedure is difficult individual elements antivirus (the developers have provided protection for registry entries and files from access);
  • The Chinese PC protection program in most cases conflicts with other installed antivirus products: the functioning of Windows slows down sharply, the level of security decreases, etc.

Today we are going to get to know Baidu. What it is? This question is quite complicated. After all, the creators of this brainchild cannot give a definite answer. Or they don't want to do it. Therefore, we will have to work hard to figure out what kind of application we have in front of us, as well as how we can get rid of it once and for all. Let's try to understand what's going on here.

Description

Baidu - what is it? Of course, if you have already encountered this infection, you most likely realized that it was 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. Why?

The thing is that if you are interested in the topic: “Baidu - what kind of program is this?”, then most likely normal deletion the application did not help you. And this is understandable. After all, we will have to deal with a real virus. It simply clutters up the computer and slows down its processes. At the same time, of course, it attracts new computer viruses, and also installs various kinds of applications and programs. But how can you tell if your operating system is infected?

Signs of illness

Baidu - what is it? As we already said - a virus. Chinese infection disguised as an antivirus program. True, if you get rid of this rubbish in time, then it will not cause infection. To do 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 installed programs. We saw, for example, the inscription Baidu Version 1.5 - you don’t even have to guess what it is. This is a Chinese antivirus Trojan.

Then the infected computer starts to slow down. At first they are small, but over time they increase more and more. For example, the operating system takes several minutes to load. Are you starting to notice your computer slowing down? It's time to sound the alarm.

Baidu - what kind of program is this that no longer shows itself? This is the question most users ask. But in reality it turns out that Baida “quietly” installs third-party content for you. Don't believe me? Then take a look at the list installed applications. There you will find several unfamiliar programs. This is Baidu's job. So if third-party content (especially in Chinese) appears on your computer, 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 this that will have to be removed in clever ways? This is the question that worries many users. Just don't panic. Usually, to get rid of this infection you just have to combine everything possible options remove applications and viruses in one sitting.

Let's start with getting rid of the program itself. To do this, go to “Start”, and then in There, find and click on this item. Now wait until 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 is this? Just what we need. Right-click on the line, and then select the “Delete” command there. Now press the white buttons, and at the very end - the blue one. This is the only way to get rid of the application. But do not rush to reboot as the computer requires. This process should be done only after all points of treatment of the operating system have been completed. Otherwise, you will again have an antivirus of the same name, and all the steps will have to be repeated again.

Dispatcher

Next, it would be nice to look at the processes that take place while working at the computer. "Task Manager" will help with this. 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 is this? Of course our virus. This is how he is registered in the system. And because of the constantly running process, it is very, very difficult to remove Chinese antivirus. Sometimes it's impossible.

What to do in this situation? Just terminate the running process. To do this, select it with the mouse cursor, click on right button and select the "End process" option there. Next, a warning will pop up about possible problems with your computer. Don't be alarmed, this always happens. Just confirm your actions, and then rejoice - there is very little time left until healing.

Antivirus to help

Next, you need to scan your computer for various types of computer infections. This will help good antivirus. Many users prefer Nod32, Avast or Dr.Web. These are the applications that do their job best.

You will have to do a deep check. When setting scan parameters, do not forget to tick the browsers and all sections checkboxes hard drive. This process It may take for a long time. So be patient. Plus, it is not recommended to work on the computer during scanning - this is a very complex process that takes up not only time, but also the computer’s system resources. You will simply feel uncomfortable.

As soon as the check is completed, cure everything. A special button will appear for this. Of course, not all infections are treatable. Delete the remaining malicious files. The antivirus also has a button for this idea. In principle, you can close the application. But don't rush to restart your computer. There is still a small action left that will definitely help you.

Registry

You'll need a computer. The CCleaner application will help with this idea. It is best (and fastest) for automatic cleaning system registry operating system.

This application is freely available. It will be enough to just download, install and configure. The setup is as follows: on the left side of the screen, check off all hard drive 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 "Cleansing". 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: “Baidu - what is it?” How to remove this infection from your computer is no longer a secret either. But in practice, sometimes you have to take extreme measures. What is it about?

Yes, that users do not pay attention 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 operating system. To be honest, only this scenario can give a 100% guarantee that your computer will be cured of any virus. So try to surf the Internet and treat the system in a timely manner. So that later you don’t have to install a new Windows and restore the data.

Do some windows with hieroglyphs, rockets and shields constantly appear on your desktop? This is an antivirus developed by our Chinese brothers, which, in its essence, is exactly 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 annoying Chinese virus.

The programs discussed below are presented in two varieties - Baidu And "Tencent". Both of them 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 register their components in startup, context menu Explorer, launch processes. Let's look at deletion using Baidu as an example. Both methods given below are only the first stage; after completing it, you need to perform some more actions, but first things first.

Method 1: Uninstall using programs

To remove Chinese viruses from your computer, the easiest way is to use a program such as Revo Uninstaller. It can not only remove software, but also clean the system of remaining files and registry keys. In addition, Revo can detect those programs that are not displayed in the list, including in "Control Panels" Windows.

In nature there is also a utility AdwCleaner, with which you can try to remove pests.

Method 2: Standard system tools

Under standard means implies removal using an applet "Control Panels" "Programs and Features".


If the program is not in "Control Panels", then you need to follow one of the paths indicated above and find a file called "Uninstall". After launching it, you should do the same steps to remove it.

Additional operations

By following the above recommendations, the Chinese virus can be removed, but some files and folders may remain on the disk because they are blocked by running background processes. There will also definitely be “tails” in the form of keys in the registry. There is only one way out - boot the system into "Safe Mode". With such a download, most programs do not start, and we can remove everything unnecessary manually.

  1. First of all, we turn on the display of hidden resources. This is done by pressing a button "Arrange" and selecting 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 disks" and click "Apply".

  2. To search for files and folders, you can use the standard Windows function or special programs.

    We enter the name of the virus into the search - “Baidu” or “Tencent” and delete all documents and directories that we can find.

  3. Next, go to the registry editor - press the key combination 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 needs to 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 simply too lazy) to delve into the registry manually, then you can use the CCleaner program to clean up unnecessary keys.

  4. At this point, the removal of the Chinese antivirus virus can be considered complete.

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 consent to the installation of additional software, uncheck all the checkboxes in the installers. These rules will help you avoid problems with the subsequent removal of any nasty stuff from the system.
