Our today's topic will be about how to remove Tencent malware from your computer. The whole difficulty lies in the fact that this software not in Russian and not even in English language... And now in more detail ...
Tencent QQ PC Manager(QQPCMng) (Tensent QQ) - Chinese malware.
Penetrates computers and smartphones via the Internet under the guise of antivirus. A trivial solution, but it works! Usually goes by trailer to free programs... While you are putting them, you are invited to take additional modules. Typically, the file SearchSquire * .exe... It is possible to create new startup key under the name Tencent QQ and value SearchSquire * .exe.
First you see a window where you are nicely offered to install "super protection". You are convinced that it is incredible effective remedy from all sorts unwanted guests on your PC. Plus they promise that the program perfectly helps to optimize the system. And it does a lot of other "useful" things.
Agree to the installation - you will become the owner of a virus, which is not so easy to remove. As well as its many utilities qqpctray.exe... This is usually the case. And this is a reason to be especially careful, to look at what you press. And always check the source from where you intend to download the software.
Symptoms of the "disease" - the appearance of pop-up windows with hieroglyphs. The programs you need and duplicate files start to disappear - this is the main damage.
As for the Internet, Tensent does not touch it. Surfing goes on as before: start pages are not canceled, results are not pulled up. At the same time, the virus sets itself to autorun and happily continues to destroy your programs!
And now about how you can remove this virus from your computer, specifically from, on your own. Programs Cleaner YAC, Adw cleaner, Unlocker do not always help. The first difficulty that you encounter right away is that Tencent is not displayed in uninstalling programs (But check anyway, it may be listed in Chinese). It does have its own delete button, but it's not easy to find. Therefore, we go the other way.
Method 1
First, we close all processes displayed in the task manager, the names of which contain the words QQPCMng, qqpctray.exe, tencent or Chinese characters. We are convinced that the maneuver was a success by going to the "Details": there, next to the process that controls the virus, there should be an inscription "Stopped".
Here we go to the "Startup" tab, look for a virus and cancel it. After that we find viral folder on drive C in Program Files (x86). Open the Tencent folder, then QQPCMng, daddy, where serial number... We are looking for a file with the name Uninst.exe–Start the process of eliminating the program.
Since further all the inscriptions are in Chinese, we are guided by the images. First, click on the white button on the left, then check the boxes and click on the red one in the lower left corner. We give the go-ahead with the left white button.
When the removal process is complete, click on the white button on the left. And we restart the computer. If everything worked out, you are lucky. In fact, it is not always so easy.
Method 2
A less pleasant option for the development of events - as soon as you press the "Cancel" button in the task manager, as you are happily notified, you will not be able to cancel the task. And the process does not stop.
What to do? Act! Disable autoload. Check in the task manager that the goal has been achieved. If the process is still not stopped, move to the "Services" tab and click on the "Open services" box with the left mouse button.
Then we need an extended view of the window (tab at the bottom), look for this Chinese crap, right-click and click "Stop".
We go to "Start" and write at the bottom in search bar regedit- the registry editor will open.
We enter it, then into "Edit" and "Search" (or Ctrl combination+ F). We write QQPCMgr, qqpctray.exe, tencent.
Everything that is found under these names and with words - we delete.
If after all that you have done opposite the process that launches malware, it is indicated that it is running, then go to the "Services" tab, find the "Open Services" button in the lower left corner. In the new window, make it extended (the button below). Find the process we need in the list of processes - select it. On the top panel looking for "Actions", click - a menu appears where we need to click "Stop". We leave. We reboot the PC.
When it boots up again, go to "This" or "My Computer", follow the system manager, where we look for Program Files, and in it - the Tencent folder. Click on it ( right button mouse), look in the menu Unlocker(if it is not yet in your PC, we will load it in advance) - left-click. Then we find "No action" - click on the checkmark. In the menu, select delete. But this is not the end - it is important to clean up all the "tails" of the virus.
Method 3
To do this, go to the registry editor, click the Windows button - "Run". We enter "Regedit", we confirm the action.
When the registry editor opens, click "Computer" - "Edit" - "Find". We type in the search "tencent", click "Find Next". The search for tails has begun!
Every time you see a folder with a virus is highlighted, delete it. Then click "Find" and "Search Next". And so, until all the "tails" are removed. After that, it is worth starting the search again - for safety reasons. And you can restart your PC.

In Tencent PC Manager, they are available in the basic version, and completely free of charge. The System Protection component is used to determine suspicious files, protection system registry, processes, drivers, as well as prevention of external interference in the system. As we said earlier, all of the above works quite effectively. Well last component, the purpose of which is worth explaining, is called by the developer as "Application Protection". It is responsible for protecting desktop shortcuts, detecting suspicious downloads, and can also block attempts to capture images from a webcam.

Another malicious Chinese antivirus, like hydra, has multiplied on the Internet - it comes About the program Tencent QQPCMgr (QQPCMng) disguised as a set of miscellaneous utilities for cleaning disks and network protection from spyware. This application is promoted on the network as a cleaner, antivirus and system optimizer. This Chinese program has already managed to infect hundreds of thousands of computers and smartphones, so today we will talk about how to remove Tencent and clear the computer from QQPCMgr.
To pick up this program with the Tencent QQPCMgr hieroglyphs is not easy, but very simple: just one thing is enough - inattention and the qqpctray.exe utility is already in your PC. But to remove Tencent's QQPCMgr antivirus, you need to follow the mechanics of actions.
- One way is to nonchalantly download and unpack archives with programs, which often contain the QQPCMgr virus, from the Internet service provider Tencent.
- Another is to flip through the options panels of the installers without looking. Today, even respectable companies build completely unnecessary functionality into installers, like proposals to install additional software packages and change start page in the browser.
This is how I got acquainted with Tencent QQPCMgr - the program made in China with a Chinese interface and found out what kind of Tencent program it really is. We will assume that Chinese you do not know, and therefore do not intend to use Tencent QQPCMgr. Therefore, let's talk in detail about removing Tencent and clearing the computer from QQPCMgr.
What harm can QQPCMgr do - Windows 7/8 / XP
In addition to the uselessness of the Chinese interface, the Tencent program also has a number of bad properties that make it akin to a virus: the Chinese antivirus can easily change the browser start page, and, most importantly, it controls content of hard disk as she pleases. Any programs and data that Tencent QQPCMgr considers infrequently used, it removes without warning. It does the same with the detected duplicate files. In short, this Tencent QQPCMgr program does one harm to Windows 7/8 / XP OS. The conclusion follows from this, you need to delete both QQPCMgr and Tencent QQ.
How I removed the Chinese antivirus Tencent QQPCMgr from my computer
I must say that my attempt to remove Tencent QQPCMng, as they say, "head-on" was unsuccessful for me. After going to the "Control Panel", and opening the list installed programs, I found the following, which seemed to me to be relevant, programs: PC Manager, Download Manager, QQ Phone Manage. However, removing them from the system did not lead to the desired relief: the QQ Phone Manage virus quietly continued its harmful activity... It became clear that you cannot get rid of QQPCMng so easily. It was a matter of honor for me to remove such an unobtrusive Tencent service from my computer. The right decision was found by trial and error.
Here is the technique correct deletion Tencent with PC:
- We open the "Task Manager" in the "Processes" tab and complete those of them, the names of which contain the lines Tencent, QQPCMng, exe, QQPCSoftMgr.exe, QQPCNetFlow.exe, QQPCRealTimeSpeedup.exe, TAOFrame.exe, or Chinese characters (电脑 管家 - 清理 垃圾 $, 软件 管理 and 电脑 管家). We do the same with the process qqpctray.exe.
- We go into the folder C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Tencent \ QQPCMng \<серийный номер программы>
(for example: 11.1 16923.222, 10.10 16434.218).
- Find the uninstaller file there exe and run (Attention! - just do not need to be confused with Uninstall.exe - this is the file for installation). By running the Uninst.exe Tencent file, you will start the removal of the Chinese antivirus.
- The picture before your eyes is at first stunning - in the window that appears, there is not a word, not only in Russian, but also in any dialect understandable to a European. Therefore, we will proceed as follows: at the very bottom of the main uninstaller window CLICK ON THE LEFT BUTTON. During the uninstallation process, you will be offered a few more "Chinese" windows. In each of them we do the same - click on left button.
- After launching Uninst.exe and uninstalling Tencent QQPCMng, you need to to restart a computer.
- The final touch - cleaning the registry... In the input field of the "Start -> Run" window, type r In the opened registry editor, we search for all branches containing in the name Tencent, QQPC, QQPCMng, QQPCMgr, qqpctray.exe and delete them. For those who have forgotten how to search in the registry, let me remind you the corresponding hotkeys: "Ctrl + F3" - new operation search, "F3" - continuation of the search by the same criteria.
How to uninstall Tencent if uninst.exe file is missing
This Tencent program, as it should be for all antiviruses, can be installed in several versions - 9, 10 or 11. It is noticed that in some versions the method of uninstalling Tencent QQPCMgr described above does not work, the “Access denied” message pops up. The problem is the missing file Uninst.exe.
I had this Uninst file, and I described above the method of uninstalling Tencent, which I used myself. But in order to find efficient way uninstalling the program without this file, I asked the subscribers of the site to share the successful instructions. So, here are a few of the methods sent below, point by point.
How to uninstall a Chinese program if the file is not in Tencent - Uninst.exe:
- Rollback really helped me Windows systems 7 to a restore point that was saved by the computer before downloading and installing the Tencent virus. After rolling back the system and rebooting, immediately open the C: // Program Files drive and there the Tencent folder is deleted without problems and all other traces of it. You just need to do it immediately after recovery! Look else in the tree, maybe anyone has IObit folder- this is also a virus, it must also be removed.
- I, too, was accidentally left without Uninst.exe. Then: I went to Tensent in protected mode and removed all the folders that were being removed. Which were not deleted, transferred to the desktop. Then, in normal mode, deleted it to the trash. Then: Execute, regedit, and clean up the remaining trash.
- I also did not find uninst, I booted the PC in safe mode, completed all suspicious processes in the Task Manager, destroyed the Chinese antivirus program Uninstall Tool.
- And on my computer, a version of the Tencent QQPCMgr 11.1 program was installed, which also did not have the Uninst file. The first thing I did was to stop the program processes in the Taskbar, where the battery and language are. Then I opened the Task Manager and completed 3 of 4 processes with hieroliths. There is 1 submenu left. I went there, I don't remember exactly, but in some window it turned out to turn it off. Interestingly, a message was displayed, such as disabled, but executed. After that I finished at startup (Task Manager). In Google Chrome, I also stopped in add-ons.
- I managed to clean both myself and my friend. I want to add something to the article. 1 - at the beginning, you do not need to close all processes in the Task Registry; 2 - then open Program Date, Program Files, Common Files and get rid of the remaining folders; 3 - then you need to clean the registry and remove all garbage in the system with a special cleaner.
