  1. I downloaded and am running SpyHunter 4 at this very moment (while I type this) hoping that it will remove Unico from my laptop. Unico has made my computer run much slower and has cause many other problems that I can’t correct. (BTW I didn’t SpyHunter 4 would take so long to scan). If this fails do I have any other options to pursue either with you or do I need to have a savvy computer technician remove it from the root drive? Please advise. Thank you.
