I got a Windows Antivirus Master pop up on my PC that I can’t get rid of. I updated a program on the system a couple days ago and this might have brought this program in without my consent. Now every time I turn on the machine, this program will become activated on its own and block most of my operations on the PC. I tried to uninstall it from Control Panel but failed. Is this some kind of malicious software? I don’t want it on my PC. How do I uninstall it successfully? Please help.
