Workno.ru: how to remove the threat in the simplest way?

Relatively recently a new threat appeared on the Internet under the name Workno.ru. How to remove it from your computer, not every Windows user knows. We will show how to do this in the simplest of ways. At the same time, let us dwell on the nature of this virus in order to clearly understand what the users are dealing with.

Worknp.ru: what is this application for?

This applet in most cases is installed in the system spontaneously. Sometimes it can appear due to carelessness of the user, who during the installation of some other programs agreed to install additional components.

This virus is adware that operates on the principle of browser hijackers, replacing startup pages, constantly redirecting the user to advertising resources and installing its own add-on plug-in to all available in the system web browsers. How to remove Workno.ru from a computer? There is nothing particularly complicated with which even an unprepared user can not cope. But first things first.

Workno.ru: how to remove a virus in a standard way?

The virus itself is not masked in the system, although it can create its own copies. Therefore, once it was noticed that the start page in the browser has changed, you must immediately proceed with the uninstallation of Workno.ru. How to delete this threat when starting the system? To begin with, you should use the "Task Manager", in which all processes associated with the virus are forcibly terminated. As a rule, they will have corresponding names.

After that, you need to call the system configuration section with the msconfig command in the "Run" console (Win + R) and go to the Startup tab (for the systems of the eighth modification and below). In Windows 10, the autostart tab is located directly in the "Task Manager". Here, you simply remove the tick from the process and restart the system again. But this is not all the actions that must be performed to get rid of the Workno.ru virus. How to remove it completely? Simple enough. For this, the standard method of uninstalling programs and the corresponding section of the "Control Panel" is used.

After that, in the "Explorer" you need to create a search query with the name of the virus and delete all found residual objects. Then you have to call the system registry editor (the regedit command in the "Run" console) and perform a search there. Usually, the keys will be located in the SOFTWARE sections of the HKLM and HKU branches. At the end of the action, a "control shot" is made-a complete system check by a full-time scanner or a program like AdwareCleaner (for complete certainty).

Workno.ru: how to delete when running Internet browsers?

But that's not all. In this way, the user gets rid of only the body of the virus, but there are still add-ins in the browsers. Let's see how to remove Workno.ru from Opera, Google Chrome, Mozilla or Internet Explorer. In principle, which browser is used, the role does not play. The methodology for all is one.

In the web browser itself, go to the main settings menu and go to the section of installed plug-ins (extensions and add-ons), in which you need to uninstall the specified add-on. After that, the settings should also change the start page, setting it to blank (usually it's about: blank).

Finally, close the browser and right click on its shortcut, and from the context menu select the property line. On the "Label" tab there is an "Object" line, in which the full path to the executable file of the browser is registered. For reliability, make sure that the string ends with "Browser.exe" (for example, Chrome.exe without any further subscriptions in the form of links to HTML-addresses or something else). Only after this can be considered that the virus really did not remain a trace. You can try to delete the user profile or reset to the factory settings, but it does not always help.

Instead of an afterword

Here is an interesting virus Workno.ru. How to remove it, I think, is already clear. It remains to advise inexperienced users who for some reason do not want to perform all the actions manually, for standard uninstallation, use unconfigured uninstallers such as Revo Uninstaller or a similar product iObit. Then there will be no need to search and delete the remaining files and registry keys. But here you need to uninstall plugins in browsers, no matter how much you want to automate this procedure.
