Regardless of how exactly this browser appeared on your computer, you need to know how to remove Amigo from your computer completely so that it does not cause problems while using your PC.

Difficulties

Removing this Internet browser from a computer is a task that will be very difficult for a novice user to handle. If you simply uninstall the browser from your computer, it may reappear over time. And in this case, it doesn’t matter how exactly you “picked it up” - by installing it intentionally or when installing programs, like third-party software.

You can remove the Amigo browser from your computer in a few steps. Do them in sequence so that you don't run into him again as a result.

This is a standard procedure, after which any other program will be removed from the PC. But due to the fact that after uninstallation, the Mail.ru Updater process remains in the system, it will automatically download the Internet browser and install it again on the computer.

Cleaning with special programs

It is not always possible to remove the Amigo browser from the device using standard means. In this case, use the special program AdwCleaner. The utility will remove the Amigo browser and other malware from the PC, including automatically.

Conclusion

The installation of the Amigo browser on a computer occurs through negligence or together with various programs as additional software. It will not be possible to remove it in the standard way from a PC, so follow the steps described in the article. Also use the special program AdwCleaner, which will remove it automatically.

Hello dear readers. Today we will take a look at detailed instructions to get rid of the Amigo browser.

Let's face it - the Amigo browser is completely useless because it has the same functionality as Chrome. And all because they are made on the basis of Chromium.

Although the developers of Amigo claim that their browser will be very convenient for users of social networks, I personally did not feel any particular convenience. And so, after 30 minutes of operation, I decided to remove Amigo from the computer.

So let's go. To get started, you need to go to Control Panel". Then, in the "Programs" section, click on " Uninstalling a program».

A list of installed programs, games, utilities, etc. will open. We find the unnecessary Amigo browser, which we want to completely remove from the computer. Right click on the icon and select " Delete».

The "Delete Amigo" dialog box will appear in which you need to check the box next to the inscription " Also delete browsing data". Then click on the button " Delete».

In just a minute, the browser will disappear from the computer. If you were unable to do this through the "Control Panel", then you can use one of the following programs:

• Your Uninstaller
• Revo Uninstaller
• Uninstall Tool

But the instruction does not end there, because by and large we have not completely got rid of the Amigo browser. When you install it on your computer, various extensions from mail.ru are also installed, which will periodically remind you of yourself. Therefore, our task is to remove them completely.

Fortunately, in the "set" for newer versions of Amigo there is only one addition - " Service automatic update programs", which you can get rid of in the same "Control Panel".

Then we confirm the removal process, wait 1-2 minutes and you're done.

Earlier, during the installation of the browser, a huge number of useless add-ons were installed on the computer, such as Mail.Ru Agent, Mail.ru Sputnik and many other absolutely useless "things". You can also get rid of them by deleting them in the Control Panel or using one of the above programs.

The main percentage of Internet users are familiar with the Amigo browser. Let's pay tribute to the developers, they are doing everything possible to promote the product to the masses, namely, they force users to install a browser with various tricks. It's good that we live in a civilized world where everyone has the right to choose: the creators to implement, and the users to refuse or agree.

Browser Amigo

At first glance, you can completely remove the amigo browser from your computer in a few clicks. But only those who have never uninstalled think so. The insidiousness of the program lies in the fact that, even deleting the installation and startup files, after a certain time it reappears in the taskbar or programs, and sometimes becomes the default browser, attracting one or two more annoying programs.

To solve a problem, you need to know its origins. There are several ways to install amigo:

• contextual advertising and a random click on it activates the start of downloading and background installation of the application;
• inattentive installation of utilities by a user who did not uncheck the boxes in the right place;

As always, there are many options for catching a virus, and there is only one way to solve it - the correct uninstallation. This is what needs to be explored further.

How to uninstall amigo browser

So, the amigo browser is a program, so its removal must be done through a pre-installed wizard. Yes, if the user takes the shortcut from the desktop and moves it to the trash, this will not solve the problem.

When using a computer running OS latest versions you need to open the "Start" menu, go to the "Control Panel" in the expanded window, select "Programs" and "Uninstall programs". A proven method will help to avoid excessive mouse clicking: we press the Win and R keys at the same time, and we get to the Run menu. Here you need to write appwiz.cpl (for your own convenience, copy from the article and paste it into the line):

We press the Win and R keys at the same time, and we get to the "Run" menu. Next, the user will be taken to a menu where he can delete amigo

When using a PC running previously released versions (even now this can be found, for example, an old computer in a budget organization will not pull a strong OS), you can remove the amigo browser from your computer using a pre-installed application through the menu "Settings" -> "Control Panel" -> "Programs and components" /. If you forgot what such a menu looks like, then remember:

Uninstall via control panel

When the user enters the "Uninstall or change programs" menu, he will have a list of installed applications on the device in front of him.

Attention! If you need to know how much memory a program uses, how often it is used, or if you need to tune certain windows components, you can do this while in the menu.

In a specific case, we are interested in the "Delete" option. The list of programs is not formed alphabetically, but according to the regularity of use, so if you have a lot of software, it will be difficult to find a utility, but it is necessary to do it. Can be found by name or icon

.

After a successful search, you need to activate the line with the program. To do this, click RMB, then click the "Delete" option. You can uninstall using the button located at the top of the list, it does not matter. The wizard will ask the user to confirm their actions (you need to click "OK" or derivative consent). In the next window, define a new browser. Click "Delete" again and enjoy the uninstallation process.

Visual actions are shown in the picture:

Click "Delete" again and enjoy the uninstallation process.

The average user will think that this is the end of the removal, but this opinion is erroneous. An important step is to remove the residual files that the amigo virus hides securely in the file system. Most likely, when deleting programs for the first time, the user encountered its self-healing. The Mail.ru Updater file is responsible for this process. Next, we will talk about how to get rid of this part of the program.

Deleting Amigo Browser Residual Files

At the next stage, if it is decided to permanently uninstall the Amigo search engine, the user uses the task manager. Press ctrl + alt + del or click on the bottom panel of the desktop, from the pop-up window select the option "Start Task Manager". Working in the eighth version of the system, the dispatcher is opened with a combination of win + x

Using Task Manager

Here you need to go to the "Processes" submenu and find the file you are looking for. We activate the line with the name, click on it PKN and select the option "Open file storage location". Care is needed here: the folder that the user has just opened must be minimized or moved to another part of the screen so as not to interfere.

Here you need to go to the "Processes" submenu and find the file you are looking for

But that's not all. At the final stage, the user must exclude the operation from the Startup menu. To do this, again call the "Run" command by pressing win + r, and in the window that opens, write msconfig, click OK. If you are running OS 8 series, then this tab is located in the task manager.

in the window that opens, write msconfig, click "OK"

Only by following the steps described above can you delete amigo and mail ru forever. Otherwise, the process will be restored every time and interfere with the user's work.

Amigo on PC - spawn paths

As mentioned at the very beginning, the Amigo program can be included in the significant boot files of various utilities. You need to carefully monitor what the developers offer you to install, and, if necessary, remove the marks.

Some users purposefully download the amigo.exe file for informational purposes, but often they take it from an untrustworthy source and put their device at risk of viruses, especially if there is no antivirus. If the user wants to install the amigo browser, then it is better to do it from offsite, or better not to do it at all, but use time-tested programs.

If you wish, you can set amigo as the default browser and customize it according to your needs: select a search engine, start line, and more. Setting up the amigo browser is simple, it has a similarity to Google, but only theoretical. There are many more years to grow and improve on the technical part.

So, by installing amigo, the user can:

1. Activate the virus in the system;
2. Download at least a couple of extra programs that can also be infected;
3. For a long time to solve the problem of the presence of an unwanted program on the PC.

Therefore, it is recommended to think several times before installing and carefully check the downloaded programs. Important, it is not recommended to save passwords in amigo, otherwise you can lose accounts in your favorite in social networks, in case the virus is running. Now you know how to remove amigo from your computer completely.

"Amigo" is the brainchild of a major brand Mail.ru. Most often, it happens that the user is thinking about deleting this browser, and there are several reasons for this. For example, the principle of software distribution. He is, to put it mildly, not honest.

The second point is the presence of various Mail.ru Updaters that "live their own lives" and other related software. Some well-established antiviruses even consider the browser to be malware and “demolish” it from the PC without hesitation. If you are also concerned about having a "Friend" on your computer, read on. Today we will tell you how to remove Amigo completely and permanently.

Sometimes removing Amigo and all its components is not as easy as regular software. Therefore, the instruction below will be executed in the form of a certain algorithm that must be applied until the "guest" "leaves" Windows. Accordingly, if the previous option did not help, move on to the next, more effective method, etc.

Using Windows Tools

Recently, Mail.ru's software distribution policy has become less aggressive. In this regard, sometimes the built-in tools of the operating system are enough to remove Amigo.

The examples shown in this article are based on Windows 10. However, on earlier operating systems (Windows XP, 7 or 8), the algorithm will be similar.

1. The uninstall tool for any software in operating systems from Microsoft is located in the control panel. We launch it by typing the name in the search and selecting the desired item from the issue.

1. Next, click on the menu item "Uninstall programs".

1. A list of all installed applications will open. Select "Amigo", right-click on it and click "Delete".

1. In order to delete all remnants along with the browser, check the box next to the item marked with the number "1", then click "Delete".

1. After that, our "Friend" will be removed from the PC or laptop. It's missing from Programs and Features.

But this method does not always help. Often, not only when installing Amigo, but also when installing other software, traces remain on the disk and in the Windows system registry that take up space and slow down the computer.

Moreover, sometimes the program “pretends” that it is being deleted, but actually leaves a record, which then loads the services on its own and without your knowledge. Next, we will tell you how to clean your PC of such "tails" and remove "Amigo" forever.

Automatic scanning with third party software

The easiest way is to erase the objectionable program and clean up the remnants after it with the help of special software tailored for such issues. Below we will talk about two such utilities and show how to work with them.

Revo Uninstaller

Let's start with the most popular and widely used product from the VS Revo Group brand. So, let's start installing the program and working with it:

1. First, go to the official website of Revo Uninstaller and download the installation distribution. When the file is on the PC, run it.

The program is paid, but the trial period available here is enough to remove Amigo from our computer.

1. From the drop-down list, select the Russian language and press the button marked with the number "2".

1. By checking the box on the specified position, we accept the terms of the license agreement, then click on "Next".

1. At this stage, if necessary, you can change the installation directory. To do this, there is a button "Browse". We will leave everything as it is and just click on the button marked in the screenshot below.

1. If you need a program launch icon on the desktop, check the box on the only item and move on.

1. Everything is ready to install Revo Uninstaller. Click the button circled in red.

1. Next comes the installation itself. We are waiting for its completion.

1. If we check the box next to "Run Revo Uninstaller", the program starts automatically. But before that, click "Finish".

After the installation is correctly completed, we proceed to a simple instruction for removing Amigo from a PC:

1. Select the desired item in the Revo window.
2. Click on the button located on the top panel of the utility.

1. We check the box in the standard uninstaller that starts automatically and click on "Delete".

1. When the regular uninstaller is finished, you will have the opportunity to select the scanning mode for the remaining files. We recommend choosing the "Advanced" algorithm. Only he is able to clean up the PC. Click "Scan" to confirm.

1. A scan will begin that looks for residues related to "Amigo" on the computer's hard drive and in the system registry.

1. As a result, we see a list of all found keys. To remove them, click the button labeled "Select All".

1. When the entries are selected, click on "Delete".

1. It remains only to confirm our intentions by pressing the button marked in the screenshot below.

1. As a result, the "Amigo" entry will be deleted from Revo and from the computer completely.

Consider another utility that can remove Amigo and all its components from a computer or laptop in automatic mode.

Your Uninstaller

Another program for completely removing software from a PC and cleaning up uninstallation traces is Your Uninstaller. Consider how to install it, and show an example of removing "Amigo".

1. You can download the application on its official website. When the file is on our PC, run it.

1. Installation will begin by clicking on the button marked in the screenshot.

1. Just like in the case of Revo Uninstaller, we can assign an installation folder. This can be done using the "Browse" button, and when the path is configured, click "Next".

1. The installation will take approximately 5-20 seconds, depending on the power of your computer.

1. We complete the installation by clicking the button below.

We can also check the checkboxes for checking for updates and automatically starting the program.

So, our application is installed, let's figure out how to work with it:

1. First of all, we will be reminded that this software is paid. But there is also a trial period, which will allow you to clean Amigo without haste. In our case, click "Continue ...".

1. We select the program that we want to delete, and press the button marked with the number "2".

1. We select the scanning mode, in our case it is “Super mode” and now you will understand why:

• "Built-in-Mode" - launches the built-in software removal tool. Scanning is not performed either on the PC hard drive or in its registry;
• "Safe Mode" This mode provides for the launch of a regular uninstaller and subsequent surface scanning file system and registry (works fast);
• "Normal Mode" - Works more slowly. Scanning is more thorough, its depth both in the registry and in the FS is increased (it works slower than "Safe Mode");
• "Super Mode" - a full scan that guarantees the discovery of all residues from the removal of any Windows software (the slowest mode).

You should not worry about the scanning speed - more or less modern computers troubleshooting takes less than a minute.

1. When the scanning mode is determined and the "Next" button is pressed, the standard Amigo uninstaller will start. We need to check the box in its place and click the button marked with an arrow.

1. As soon as the standard uninstallation comes to an end, your Uninstaller scanner will start. It works in two stages and first checks the registry and then scans the disk.

1. In the next step, you will see a list of all found issues. Select all lines and click Next.

1. We are waiting for the removal to complete.

1. It remains only to click the "Finish" button.

Ready. The "smart" program completely removed "Amigo" from our computer and cleaned up the remaining "tails".

As a result, we consider it necessary to inform you about one significant drawback of automatic uninstallers: the fact is that sometimes the program cannot correctly determine the ownership of a particular file or registry key. And since it runs as an administrator and scans the system registry, significant damage can be done to the operating system.

AdwCleaner

1. You can download the Malwarebytes product from its official website. Next, run the setup file.

1. We accept the license agreement by clicking on the indicated button.

1. When the program starts, press the big button labeled "Scan".

1. The process of checking your PC or laptop for malware will begin. We are waiting for its completion.

1. Next, we will be shown a list of found dangers. As you can see, Mail.ru and, in fact, Amigo fell under disfavor. We tick off those programs that we want to remove, and press the button marked with a frame.

Attention! Before continuing, close all running programs and save their data. After clicking on the clear button, a reboot will follow, which will be impossible to cancel.

1. The cleaning of the PC from malicious files and any traces of them will begin. We are waiting for the completion of the process.

1. At the end of the scan, we just have to click on "Restart".

1. When the computer restarts, we will see a virus removal report that contains the scan time and the number of problems found.

If you click the button labeled "View log" (located at the bottom of the window), a text document will open in which you will find a detailed log of the program.

CCleaner

There is another way that will help clear the startup of our computer from unnecessary programs who might have stayed there. Consider how to download the utility and how to work with it:

1. Download the latest Russian version of CCleaner on its home page and run the resulting file.

1. At the initial stage, we select the Russian language by opening the menu marked with the number "1".

1. Confirm the action by clicking on the button marked in the screenshot.

Ready. Now the product from Mail.ru is also removed from the autorun of our Windows computer.

Manual cleaning

If the problem persists after using automated removal methods, you can resort to manual cleaning.

Since Amigo tails can remain both on the disk and in the system registry, we will delete them both there and there.

1. We launch the regular explorer by clicking on its icon on the taskbar.

You can open the file manager in earlier operating systems through the "My Computer" shortcut on the desktop or in the "Start" menu.

1. We go to the point marked in the screenshot below, and, using the search, we are looking for the remains of "Amigo".

1. When traces are found, select them and use the right-click context menu to delete them.

Be careful not to delete the files you need.

The disk is cleared, we proceed to work with the registry.

Checking the registry

You can work with the registry using the tool built into Windows. Follow our step by step guide:

Using a combination of "hot" buttons

1. We sequentially delete all branches and keys that once belonged to the product from mail.ru. You can use the context menu for this. Then we repeat the search and so on until there are no traces of "Amigo" left in the registry.

1. Since the program name can also be written in English, we repeat the search with "Amigo".

Ready. Now the disk and registry of our computer are clean.

Conclusion

In the process of writing the article and deleting "Amigo" different ways we came to the conclusion that Mail.ru has abandoned its former aggressive distribution of its software and concluded that now its product is removed very simply and leaves almost no traces in the system.

But despite our opinion, you yourself can do what is shown in the instructions. In addition, all the described algorithms are suitable for other software that we want to remove completely and permanently. In most cases, it will be enough just to use the functionality of Revo Uninstaller, but sometimes you have to work with your hands.

Video instruction

For greater completeness of what was written above, we suggest watching a video dedicated to the topic under consideration.

Many users are very annoyed by the Amigo browser, which is brazenly installed on computers without any demand. Even more annoying is that Amigo sets itself as the default browser. This annoying browser often gets into your computer when you install other programs, if you do not take the time for advanced settings, but install programs automatically with the recommended settings. Few people like it if something is imposed on him, especially in such a blatant form. Do not endure it, I will tell you how to remove Amigo permanently from your computer.

Open "Start" and go to "Control Panel".

Click on the line "Uninstall a program" in the control panel that opens (if there is no such line, then "Programs and Features" or "Add or Remove Programs", depending on Windows).

Find Amigo in the list of programs, left-click on it and click the "Delete" button at the top (on the right in WinXP).

If a window appears asking you to confirm the deletion, then put all the checkmarks in it and click "Delete". The hated Amigo browser will be removed from your computer, but that's not all. Along with Amigo, MailRuUpdater is most likely installed on your computer, which can re-download and install Amigo. Therefore, you should disable MailRuUpdater in Windows startup. You can learn in detail how to do this if you read my article "". When you have done all the procedures, be sure to restart your computer. I also highly recommend that you run the CCleaner utility and check the Windows registry. You can read about this in the article "". I hope my articles have helped you.
