Hello, dear blog visitors » » Do you know what kind of Chinese baidu program? What antivirus can be used to remove it without losing any important information? No? Then you are at the right place. Let's get started!
As you guessed, Baidu is software from Chinese developers. As a rule, this program gets on a computer together with another free software, and installed in hidden mode. At first glance, she appears under noble banners:
- Baidu Antivirus- everything is clear here;
- Baidu PC Faster— system accelerator;
- Baidu Root — getting root rights on smartphones.
However, along with these applications, 5 more appear that slow down the system's performance: unnecessary processes appear in, changes start page, work with files and folders slows down, etc.
Thus, the benefit of Baidu is much less than it might seem at first. Plus, a separate problem is the complete and irretrievable removal of Baida from the computer.
How to remove Baidu from computer completely
- First stage.
To start, let's open Windows Task Manager the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Esc. If in the Processes tab there is something on Chinese, so this is the same Baidu.
We need to find out the location of this infection on the hard drive, for this we right-click on each process and select "Open file storage location".
As a result, we get:
Do some windows with hieroglyphs, rockets and shields constantly appear on the desktop? This is an antivirus developed by our Chinese brothers, which, in its essence, is precisely an antivirus program. However, since this software is installed without the consent of the user and independently performs actions on the computer, it can be considered malicious. In this article, we will figure out how to remove the annoying Chinese virus.
The programs that will be discussed below are presented in two varieties - Baidu And Tencent. Both of them have similar properties and can run in parallel on the same computer. Pests are located in the appropriate folders.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Baidu Security\Baidu Antivirus\5.4.3.148966.2
C:\Program Files (x86)\Tencent\QQPCMgr\12.7.18987.205
Programs prescribe their components to startup, Explorer's context menu, start processes. Consider deletion using Baidu as an example. Both methods below are only the first stage, after its implementation, some more actions are required, but first things first.
Method 1: Uninstall using programs
To remove Chinese viruses from a computer, the easiest way is to use a program such as Revo Uninstaller. It is able not only to remove software, but also to clean the system from the remaining files and registry keys. In addition, Revo can detect those programs that do not appear in the list, including in "Control Panels" Windows.
In nature, there is also a utility AdwCleaner, with which you can try to remove pests.
Method 2: Standard system tools
Under standard means implied deletion using an applet "Control Panels" "Programs and Features".
If the program is not in "Control Panels", then you need to go to one of the paths indicated above and find a file with the name "Uninstall". After launching it, you should do the same actions with the removal.
Additional operations
Following the above recommendations, the Chinese virus can be removed, but some files and folders may remain on the disk because they are blocked by running background processes. The registry will also necessarily remain "tails" in the form of keys. There is only one way out - to boot the system into "Safe Mode". With such a load, most programs do not start, and we can remove all unnecessary manually.

- First of all, we enable the display of hidden resources. This is done by pressing a button. "Organize" and choice of item "Folder and search options" in any folder, in our case it is "Computer".
In the settings window that opens, go to the tab "View", put the switch in position "Show hidden files, folders and drives" and click "Apply".
- To search for files and folders, you can use the standard Windows function or special programs.
We drive the name of the virus into the search - “Baidu” or “Tencent” and delete all documents and directories that we can find.
- Next, go to the registry editor - press the key combination Win+R and write a command
Go to the menu "Edit" and choose the item "Find".
Enter the name of the virus in the appropriate field and click "Find next".
After the system finds the first key, it must be deleted (RMB - "Delete") and then press the key F3 to continue the search process.
We do this until the editor displays a message that the search is completed.
If you are afraid (or just too lazy) to delve into the registry manually, then you can use the CCleaner program to clean up unnecessary keys.
This completes the removal of the Chinese antivirus virus.

And, unfortunately, sad: some of them cause too many problems. That's free antivirus Baidu is also persona non grata (that is, an undesirable person) in operating system Windows.
Yes, the developers of the company of the same name from the Celestial Empire ardently and furiously declare that, they say, our brainchild tirelessly and continuously protects computers from hacker attacks and does not ask for money, and updates its signature databases, and everything else, of course, is necessary and effective. But all these positive properties fade against the background of their opposite - negative ones. Which, by the way, are more.
If "Baida" suddenly appeared in Windows, shout "Trouble!"

- arbitrarily, “silently”, is installed into the system (like a virus!);
- is not removed from the OS when using the built-in uninstaller (the remaining drivers after cleaning and rebooting the system re-install Baida);
- the procedure for removing individual elements of the antivirus is difficult (the developers have provided for the protection of registry entries and files from access);

Baidu is a Chinese antivirus and that says it all. The program was developed by the creators of the largest search engine after Google. The application is distributed as malware, is installed on the computer in background(silent installation) without notifying the user, and after launch it constantly monitors active processes, slowing down the computer and conflicting with installed antivirus. Many Windows users, having become a victim of such an “antivirus”, they are looking for ways to remove Baidu. Today we will deal with this.
In general, the procedure for uninstalling Baidu is not much different from uninstalling other products, in addition to the absence of the uninstall.exe file in the directory with the program and its interface in Chinese, which complicates even such a simple task as clicking on the "Yes" or Ok button.
- End all Baidu-related processes in Windows.
To perform this action, launch the task manager. It is called using the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + Shift + Esc" or context menu in the Windows taskbar.
Go to the "Processes" tab and sort them by name by clicking on the name of the first column "Image Name".
Then we find all the processes whose name begins with the word "baidu" and complete them all in order: select the process with a mouse click and press Delete or select the "End Process" command in the context menu of the process and confirm its execution in order to be able to delete the application with all traces.
More simple option to do this is to use the Process Explorer utility. In it, select the main process with the name Baidu, press Shift + Del and confirm the completion of the process tree.
- We remove the program from the computer using the built-in uninstaller through the Taskbar tool called "Programs and Features".
To uninstall the application, open the "Control Panel" and go to "Programs and Features" - the application responsible for removing any Windows components.
We go down to the bottom of the list of installed in Windows Applications and find the “antivirus”, focusing on its blue icon and the name containing hieroglyphs.
We call the context menu of the element, which is Baidu, and select the only item of the drop-down menu "Delete / Change".
After the appearance of a yellow window with a white sun inside, click on the white button located to the right (as in the screenshot).
This will launch the Baidu uninstaller on your computer. In order to remove this garbage, in the next window we also press the white button, launching the uninstallation of the antivirus from the computer.
We confirm our intention to rid Windows of applications by clicking on the same white “Delete” button.
After that, the last dialog box will appear, where we simply press a single button, analogous to the classic "OK". You don't need to leave any checkboxes.
- We perform the removal of the second program, which is installed with Baidu.
We launch the Windows Control Panel item called "Programs and Features" and, as with removal of Baidu, we call the only item of the context menu of the remaining program with a green icon.
In the window that appears with a green title, also click on the button located to the left, which allows you to remove Baidu.
Immediately after that, the remaining program will be uninstalled from the computer under Windows control. We wait until the process is completed.
In the last window, also click on a single button.
- Getting rid of the computer Chinese programs, braking Windows work finally.
Again, we launch the "Task Manager" by any method and try to complete the process remaining after Baidy. It is usually protected and the operation will fail.
We restart the computer in safe mode by pressing the F8 key and selecting the appropriate item from the menu that appears after loading the BIOS.
We go into the “Program Files” and “Program Files (x86)” directories one by one, find the directories whose name begins with the phrase “Baidu” and delete them from the computer, preferably using the “Shift + Delete” combination, bypassing the trash.
After that, you can use the functionality CCleaner programs or similar to her. This utility will scan your computer for remnants of an unsafe application and allow you to quickly remove them from both the disk and the Windows registry.
