How to remove Roozz updater?

[Jacee]

What do you use TuneUp Utilities 2012 for?

EDIT ... right click on task manager, then 'start task manager' ... is Random.exe running in Processes?

I use TuneUp Utilities for its "1Click Maintenance", runs weekly, scans for registry errors, deletes temporary files, defrags the HD (if needed), removes broken shortcuts.

I don't see any process named random.exe

I think I may have found it...
I found Roozz Updater in the Windows Task Scheduler. It pointed to an executable in C:\Program Files (x86)\Roozz (I don't know why the folder didn't show up when I did a search for "Roozz" on the hard drive. Anyway, I deleted the task from the scheduler, and deleted the folder and its contents.

I'll check later and see if the task and/or folder gets re-created.

Good, delete the entire folder, (reboot) then let me know if you are still getting the pop-ups.

Also, once you've booted into 'normal' mode, is this alert gone?
Windows Security Center service is not running! This report may not be accurate!

Done. No pop-ups since. But it only seemed to happen once every few days (darn! I should've looked more closely at the scheduled task to know when it was to be repeated). Anyway, if I don't see it again after a week or so, I guess I'll consider it cured.

Yes, I Security Check again in normal mode, no alerts.

Let me know how it goes after a few days on the net.
