Hello. Is anyone there? I have problem in removing Megabackup program from my PC. When doing a regular search this morning, I clicked on an image which looks interesting. Then, it had several pop ups changing my browser preference and opening up ads to buy home furniture online and other similar things. Everything happened so fast before I could react. I changed all my preferences back as well as deleting the cookies and relevant history. But, MegaBackup showed up on my Launchpad. I don’t think I installed it before. I don’t know how to get rid of it. Please help me out. Thanks.
