I recently used my computer and suddenly realised there was a palatin antivirus page on my profile page. It would not go so i decided to install it and thought i could just uninstall it in order for my profile page to be as it was before. Within minutes I was bombarded with trojan, malware security alerts instructing me to pay for the antivirus program in order to get rid of them. I thought it was very strange as there was no option or file to find that I could uninstall palatin antivirus. I decided to look on the internet for this and came accross this website i am glad to know what it is but i have no idea how to get rid of it. Even with your instructions I am unable to find it or get rid of it. I would also like to know why my current antivirus and spyware allowed this to happen surely my original one should have prevented this ?
