  1. It’s not in the programs in my PC or even an Extension in my chrome!
    but it still appear in my homepage
    what is that and what should I do?

  2. Nada disso deu certo, até o spyhunter pede 48 hrs para excluir as ameaças, isso não é um anti-vírus gratuito…isso é chantagem, estelionato.
    Sinceridade fideliza cliente, o resto só afasta.
