How to Remove Chinese Software Iqiyi and Other Bundled Junkware?

A Chinese program named "Iqiyi" got into my computer (how it happened is a large story...) every time i restart my PC, the app launches itself. I tried to uninstall it through the "uninstall" menu on programs and features, but it doesn’t work. What should I do?? This thing is so annoying.

What is Iqiyi?

Iqiyi (爱奇艺) is a Chinese video player that provides free and HD network video services. However, these days, many computer users complained that their computers have been infected by this application. Users get this application usually after they download some software from third party websites or file-sharing platform. Iqiyi can be packaged into some software as bundles. If you don’t reject it in advance by using ‘Custom’ installation, it will slip into your computer without your knowledge and permission. When you unzip some files without rejecting additional programs, you may install Iqiyi to your computer. All in all, there are a lot of ways that this APP can get in your computer.

Iqiyi is not a virus. It can be a potentially unwanted program (PUP). It is itself not able to cause problems to your computer. But when it is used by cyber criminals to carry malware infection, it will be a big trouble to your computer. It usually comes alongside other software (such as Baidu products) and malicious program. They can mess up your computer and steal your personally identity information. You are recommended to run SpyHunter to detect the potential threats in your computer.
