Every year the world mobile communications is replenished with more and more "traps" for subscribers. It can be various promotions, as well as SMS quizzes, and SMS subscriptions. And the operator "Megafon" in this regard is no exception. Often, subscribers complain about an unexpected withdrawal of money from their account or the connection of any subscription - weather, entertainment, and other things - without their knowledge. One of the reasons may be accidentally connected Megafon Pro options. What is it and how to turn it off?

What is Megafon PRO?

"Megaphone Pro" is a special application recorded on the memory of a SIM card. It searches for and provides subscribers with relevant information.

It is presented in the form:

• fascinating information (news, TV announcements, movie posters);
• various types of entertainment (music, games, contests, quizzes);
• reference book ( useful information about different cities)
• communication (dating services, chats).

The application itself is very slow, but it takes up relatively little memory. It is available for both new smartphones and budget options phones. Needless to say, MegaFon Pro provides the above services for subscribers not free of charge. Each service, be it news, games or dating, will cost the subscriber a pretty penny.

How can I find out which subscriptions are connected?

It is obvious that such a service as Megafon Pro is already outdated. Now on most smartphones there is access to the Internet, where information and entertainment can be obtained absolutely free of charge. But the operator benefits from such a service, and therefore it continues to exist. It often happens that subscriptions can be made randomly or without the subscriber's knowledge at all. Therefore, if you notice that extra money is being withdrawn from your account, the first thing to do is to check if you have subscriptions from Megafon Pro.

There are two ways to determine their type and quantity:

1. Every phone, including latest models from Apple and Samsung, contains a SIM-menu, which can give access to the service portal, among other things. Go to settings, find this menu and click "subscriptions". Next, the operator will offer you to wait a few seconds and an SMS message will be sent to your phone with the number and name of all your subscriptions.
2. The second option is possible only for those who already know for sure that they are subscribed to something, since they received a number of SMS messages with information. Go to the menu of your messages and send an SMS with the word "LIST" or "LIST" to the number from which the subscription comes. Reply SMS will bring the answer to the question.

How to disable?

So, let's move on to the main thing. How to disable annoying subscriptions from Megafon Pro and protect yourself from unexpected expenses?

You can also do this in two ways:

1. If you just need to disable subscriptions, go to the item of the same name and select how many subscriptions you need to disable: one or all at once. In response, you may receive an SMS message about the success of the operation. If the SIM card is inserted into another device, such as a tablet or modem, be sure to insert it into the phone and follow the above steps.
2. If you need to know how to disable the service without going to the SIM menu, then you can simply send an SMS with the word "OFF" or "STOP" to the number from which the subscription comes.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to completely disable the Megafon Pro service. Probability of accidentally connecting to paid services remains possible. However, Megafon makes communication more convenient and practical for subscribers every day, so perhaps a method will appear soon.

The first of the popular ones, which provided the ability to block unsolicited windows, was Opera, and we'll start with it. AT latest version browser, the corresponding settings are located in the main menu, in the subsection " Quick Settings» of the Settings section. Four options are offered: two radical ones (allow all/all) and two more flexible ones - open windows in the background and don't open windows unless they were requested by the user.

There are others even more fine tuning filtering the content of HTML pages. They can be found on the "Scripts" tab, but such settings already require some understanding of the structure of pages, HTML and JavaScript languages.

AT Mozilla browser FireFox, the path to the setting that includes the pop-up blocker option is through the "Tools" section in the top menu. In it, you need to select the "Settings" item to open the settings window, in which we are interested in the "Content" tab. On it, put a tick in front of the inscription "Block pop-up windows". And you can add or remove any site to the list of exceptions from this rule by clicking the "Exceptions" button.

AT Internet browser Explorer, the item that enables pop-up blocking is located in the "Tools" section top menu. There is also an item that opens the "Pop-up blocker settings" window. In it, in addition to editing the list of exclusion sites from general rule You can set one of three pop-up window filtering levels. Here, in addition, it is possible to turn on / off sound and text notifications about each locked window.

There is another way to this setting - in the "Tools" section of the top menu, click the "Internet Options" item. In the window that opens, on the "Privacy" tab, check the box next to "Enable pop-up blocker". Here, by clicking the "Options" button, you can open the "Pop-up Blocker Options" dialog box.

Unfortunately, the fight against pop-ups is developing along the same lines as the fight against Internet viruses. That is, when a way to combat viruses using one technology is found, virus developers develop another. And here this process is complicated by the fact that pop-up windows are used not only for harm, but also for the convenience of users.

There are several techniques for dealing with pop-up virus windows. To get started, use Dr. Web Carelt. Download it from the official website of Dr.Web anti-virus manufacturers.

Install this app and run it. The operating system scanning process will start automatically. This is done on purpose, because viruses usually prevent such applications from running. Pay attention to the fact that run this utility needed in normal mode Windows work, not safe.

If scanning with this program did not yield any results, try to find a code to disable the pop-up window. Use a mobile phone with Internet access or another computer. Follow this link http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/deblocker or http://sms.kaspersky.ru.

Enter the account number or , contained in the text of the banner, and click the "Get Code" button. Substitute the passwords suggested by the system in the banner field. If none of the issued codes fit, then try to find the code on the following resources: http://www.esetnod32.ru/.support/winlock and http://www.drweb.com/unlocker/index.

If both fail above method, then try to find the virus files yourself. Start the system at safe mode so that the virus window does not interfere with the search. To do this, press the F8 button while the computer boots. Open the system32 folder. It is located in the catalog Windows System section hard drive.

Locate and delete all files that have a dll extension that ends in lib, such as hostlib.dll, partlib.dll, and so on. After deleting these files, start the operating system normally. Scan her antivirus program.

Of all the types of malware, WinLockers, a type of Trojan, are perhaps the most annoying to the user. They almost completely block the system, cover the screen with their window and require you to send an SMS to a paid number in order to receive an unlock code. Dealing with a winlocker is not easy, and all methods require some computer knowledge.

Instruction

The best way Treatment is always prevention. Remember that in most cases, blocking programs do not penetrate your computer - you install and run them yourself. Therefore, when surfing the Internet, be careful.

If a pop-up window on the site prompts you to urgently update the codec, download new version plugin or check system latest antivirus- do not agree if you do not know exactly what this site can really do. Close the window as soon as possible, and best of all - together with the site. Then check the system with your own antivirus.

Install a high-quality protection system on your computer. It is desirable that it includes not only an antivirus, but also a firewall. A properly configured firewall will stop many threats before they even have time to settle in the system.

If you have already suffered from a running winlocker, do not under any circumstances agree to its terms and do not send SMS! Its cost can be much higher than what scammers write in the window of their program. Moreover, once you agree, you may find that money continues to be debited from your mobile account, allegedly as a subscription fee for a non-existent service. Getting rid of such a subscription will not be easy.

Some manufacturers domestic antiviruses offer an online service that supplies unlock codes for many well-known winlockers. Of course, you can use this service only from another, non-infected computer. Enter in the service window the number to which the scammers offer to send SMS, and write down the code. However, remember that even if malware off, that doesn't mean it's gone. Unlocking the system is only the beginning of the steps to clean it up.

if you have boot disk LiveCD - boot from it. Antivirus vendors often include their own version of the LiveCD, which automatically scans the system for viruses when it boots up. However, new versions of winlockers appear so often that the antivirus cannot always detect them.

By booting from a disk or by unlocking the system, standard tool search, find all executable files created on that day. If such files appear in system folders Windows or your regular folder boot - most likely, this is the main body of the winlocker. Delete these files, but remember their names.

Open System Windows registry. Be careful - when booting from a Live CD, a temporary registry of the system you are currently working on may open instead. It is best to find the main registry file in Windows folder and open it in regedit. Find among the registry entries the names of the winlocker files. If they replaced system files, such as explorer.exe or ctfmon.exe, fix these entries, otherwise just delete them.

Restart your computer in normal mode and restore the system configuration from the latest checkpoint. The recovery program is located in the menu at the address "Standard - Utilities - System Restore".
