How to Remove Fira App

Pretty much every week there are a couple of new malware apps like Fira App that all do the same thing – they get installed on the PC vie file bundles (without the user’s knowledge) and then start holding resources and spamming you with misleading pop-ups.

Fira App and other similar apps like Weisx App and Triund App aren’t particularly harmful by themselves, but they can potentially put your entire system and virtual security at risk. Their pop-ups could trick you into installing more dangerous malware on your computer or expose you to phishing content to get you scammed and steal your money. The key takeaway here is that you must get rid of Fira App if you want to stay safe.

Deleting this malware can be a bit difficult, however, so I’ve prepared a detailed guide on how to remove it manually. There’s also a professional removal tool below, called SpyHunter 5, that can eliminate Fira App for you in case you don’t feel like going through all the manual steps.

Fira App Removal Steps

Some adware programs can sometimes be removed by simply running a regular uninstall. It’s rare, but it does happen, so I recommend you try this first:

1. Go to the “Apps & Features” list of programs by searching for it in the Start Menu.
2. Sort the list by Install Date. Look carefully for Fira App but also keep an eye out for any other unfamiliar applications that might have been installed around the same time.
3. If you spot Fira App, initiate the uninstallation process and follow all prompts.
4. Do the same with any other odd-looking apps.
5. If you can find the directory where the uninstalled programs used to reside, go there and check it for remaining folders and files that didn’t get removed.
6. If you find anything linked to the uninstalled program, trash it and then empty the trash.

Deleting this app the conventional way may suffice, but most of the time, this won’t suffice. If Fira Appcontinues to bother you, then you’ll need to try the advanced guide below, which focuses on manually finding and deleting remaining adware data and settings.

How to Get Rid of Fira App

There are a two essential preparatory steps you’ll need to complete before being able to start the removal:

• Get LockHunter. This is a free utility that lets you delete stubborn files that give you an error when you try to remove them normally. Download the tool and install it, it’s totally free.
• Enable the visibility of hidden files and folders. You can do that by typing “Folder Options” in the Start Menu, opening it, going to the “View” tab, and turning on the respective setting. Just remember to click Apply and then OK to save the changes.

You are now ready to start the removal process.

Delete Fira App Virus Files and Folders

Start with the following folder C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming. Check it for any folders or files named Fira App or anything similar.

Also note that adware creators often give their fake organizations strange fake, so look for anything wierdly-named, because it’s probably also linked to Fira App.

Two recent examples of odd developer names linked to adware apps are “Yusiq Axo S” and “Trix Winqz Ro“, so if you come across anything similarly unusual, you probably need to delete it.

Next, go to this location and delete everything there: C:\Users\*Your Username*\AppData\Local\Temp

This folder stores only temporary data, so it’s okay to empty it.

Two more locations that you need to search for strange folders:

• C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
• C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Finally, go to your C: drive and check both the Program Files and Program Files (x86) directories for unusual folders that might be linked to Fira App.

Like before, delete anything suspicious you may come across.

How to Remove Fira App Malware Tasks

The removal of Fira App files and processes is often not enough. The malware might persist by reinstalling itself through automated tasks.

To intercept these efforts, open Task Scheduler from the Start Menu and examine the tasks listed under “Task Scheduler Library”.

Double-click each task and check the “Actions” tab. This shows you what the task does.

If a given task runs suspicious scripts or executable files or anything from AppData or Roaming, it should be removed immediately. Same thing if the task is set to download something or access a questionable site.

Make sure that you go through all the tasks in the Task Scheduler or else you might miss something that could allow the malware to return.

Remove Fira App Keys From the System Registry

Almost all malware leaves its traces in the System Registry, so you must go there, search for rogue data, and delete it.

Search “regedit” in the Start Menu, then run as Administrator the first shown item.

Use Ctrl + F to search for “Fira App”, and delete every key that shows up as a result (the keys are the folders shown in the left panel).

Remember to repeat the search each time you delete an item to ensure there aren’t any more left.

Then manually go to each of these Registry directories:

Once you get to each of these keys, check their contents in the right panel. Look for suspicious values listed there and delete them, but do not delete the key that contains them.

Delete Fira App Malware Policies

Some malware apps could establish unwanted control over your browser by introducing a restrictive third-party policy to it. A “Managed by your organization” message in the browser’s menu and Settings page signals its presence.

To revoke this rogue policy, find the Group Policy Editor through the Start Menu and open it.

Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates, right-click the latter, and click the “Add/Remove” option.

Remove anything unfamiliar or suspicious you see in the list that opens.

If you’re using Google Chrome, you can also download the Chrome Policy Remover to delete malicious policies.

This tool is totally free and doesn’t even require installation.

Download and run it as an Administrator and it will automatically clear any and all policies from your Chrome browser.

Just don’t get startled if the Chrome Policy Remover triggers a security warning from Windows – the tool is perfectly safe. Just click “More Info” and then “Run Anyway” to launch it and then it will take care of the rest in a matter of seconds.

Uninstall Fira App From the Browser

You’re almost done. The one thing you still need to do is restore any browser settings that may have been modified by the malware.

Go to the browser’s menu, then open its Settings page.

Proceed to the Extensions section and uninstall any extensions you do not recognize.

Then access the Privacy and Security section. Click the Delete browsing data option and delete everything except your passwords for the “All Time” time range.

Then go to “Site Settings” and, one by one, check all site permissions for unfamiliar or suspicious URLs that should be removed.

Navigate next to the Search Engine tab, where you should confirm that your default search engine is reputable (such as Google or Bing).

Also, access the Manage Search Engines settings and if you notice any strange search engines in the list, delete them.

Chrome

Microsoft Edge

Mozilla Firefox

Lastly, check the “On Startup” and “Appearance” settings. Eliminate any unfamiliar URLs that you did not put there yourself.

Once that’s done, your browser and system should be clear of any traces of c. Of course, if you do still notice remnants of the malware, SpyHunter remains a valid solution that I strongly recommend in cases where the manual steps aren’t sufficient.
