Hello,

Please follow either of these guides to remove Astromenda. These guides use free anti-malware tools so if you are ever brought to a page asking you to pay money, ignore it.

Thank you so much for your help. I had a hard time getting into some of the areas that you had listed, but my husband was able to go through some back doors and was able to complete your print out of instructions and it worked.
