Who owns the PC App Store?
How do I get rid of the PC App Store pop-up?
How do you tell if an app is malicious?
I found this specific adware on my laptop called "PC App Store" I have only ever used this laptop for school and I've had it for less than a year. I am a computer science student so I download a lot of files from professors and from github links they send us. Besides school I use it for YouTube and Twitch but no fishy pirating websites. Is it possible my professors could've accidentally sent us virus's? I am not very well versed on virus's and adware.
Extra information ig:
- I use google chrome and use ad blocker extensions that I use on my main PC as well and have no issues on it.
- the laptop uses windows 10
In order to delete "PC App Store" for windows, you need to search in your hard drive for "fa_rss" Make sure to tick "all subfolders" too. Now you need to take ownership of it, look here if you don't know how to. https://www.windowscentral.com/how-take-ownership-files-and-folders-windows-10 If it doesn't work, go to task manager, search for it and then delete it. Empty Recycle Bin and PC App Store wont open at all.
Hi CateMulligan,
I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.
PC Store is an AdWare program that will always show these intrusives pop-ups.
You can uninstall it on Settings > Apps > Installed Apps. Search for PC Store, select the three dots next to it, and select Uninstall.
After uninstalling it, run a scan with Malwarebytes to detect any other unwanted software on your computer.
