  1. Thankyou so much for the info u provided, I’ve downloaded a cracked gta 5 ‘setup’ file (which I shouldn’t have) and I thought I dodged installing all the malware, about a minute after 6 different program’s were installed and pop-ups were everywhere, I uninstalled most program’s but system healer keeps coming back. Hopefully trying your instructions everything should be ok. Once again thx.

  2. System healer comes up on my pc so was following the actions you provided to uninstall this and when I go into control panel to uninstall it I can’t find system healer anywhere in the uninstall section of control panel.
    What else can I do
