Dear Sir/Madam,

Unfortunately I found security products which are signed by Aduf Pajodi in 17 April 2016. Although I tried freefixer but it could not find them. I also tried to show file location but it did not work. Could you let me please know how can I delete these files from my computer?

Thank you for your helps.

Can

@Can: The files seems to be located in c:\users\%USERNAME%\appdata\roaming\RANDOMFOLDER

Can you remove the Aduf Pajodi files manually with Windows Explorer?
