how do i get rid of pup.datamngr on my computer?
Im having a hard time starting up my computer. Every now and then it either goes to black screen or sometimes even a blue screen and it doesn't even go to my desktop. I ran malware and it came up with the virus "Pup.datamngr" which it just cant seem to get rid of no matter how many times i ask it to delete the program. Ive looked online for some ways to get rid of it but every one is telling me to download different programs and alot of them ive never even heard of before. So if someone could help me along or point me in the right direction that would help lots!

Try this:
Firstly, boot your computer to the Safe Mode menu screen. You do this by repeatedly pressing F8 as soon as you boot up. Once there, use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode with Networking. Continue to boot from there, by pressing Enter. You will now see some drivers being loaded. There will be a pause at some point. This usually lasts for no more than 30 seconds.
Start Internet Explorer, and when the program is open, click on the Tools menu and select Internet Options.
Now click on the Connections tab.
Now click on the Lan settings button.
Where it says Use a proxy server for your Lan, ensure there is no tick in the box, then press the OK button to close this screen. Now press the OK button to close the Internet Options screen.
If that's all okay, remain in Safe Mode and try this...
Most redirection problems (including Google) are caused by the Alureon rootkit. TDSSKiller will remove it. The MBAM link is included so you can scan for infections you may not be aware of.
Download and run TDSSKiller.exe from Kaspersky Lab. It's tiny, and takes just a minute to run. It hunts down and kills a specific family of rootkits:

Regardless of the results, download the free version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM). Install it, get updates and run a full scan (still in Safe Mode). This is a direct download link. Copy and paste it into your browser’s address bar, and press Enter.

After this, try rebooting normally. If that's successful, I recommend you run another full scan with MBAM. It will detect malware that wasn't running in Safe Mode.
You should now delete TDSSKiller.exe, as updated versions are often made available. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware can be easily uninstalled, should you wish to do so, but it may prove to be beneficial in the future.
Hope this helps.

once "safe practices device" infects a gadget, it is going to randomize the names and folder names. you may want to favor to kill off the operating procedure for SecurityTool as a fashion to get rid of safe practices device. when you're in the different case unable to delete the data that you hit upon, use the job manager to kill off the operating procedure that suits the randomized call for the exe that you hit upon. it is going to probably stick out like a sore thumb contained in the job manager. (very few respectable courses have 10 digit numerical names) After the guide elimination, or a minimum of the guide disabling of the lively rogue, go back and run a test with an as a lot as date version of malwarebytes to make positive the gadget is clean. the hardest element of the safe practices device an infection, safe practices device will declare each software you attempt to run is a trojan horse and is attempting to deliver your mastercard data to three host.
