Hello everyone Today I will tell you about what the Zeta Games program is and whether you need it. Zeta Games appears on computers at will. Here you have installed some desired program, and then on the desktop you see a shortcut and Zeta Games, although you did not install this program.

Thus, new programs and sites are promoted to the masses, but all this looks like some kind of virus fraud, so it is not surprising that such software is often defined by antiviruses as potentially dangerous.

Zeta Games itself is positioned as access to some kind of super platform where you can find any games and play them.

Also via this program you can find players to make it more fun and interesting to play! In general, as you yourself understand that if you did not install Zeta Games, then I think you hardly need it and therefore it can be removed.

Personally, in addition to the Zeta Games shortcut, others appeared on my desktop, these are Star Conflict, Armored Warfare Armata Project, REACHit:


True, it seems to me that the appearance of REACHit is not connected with Zeta Games

After I launched Zeta Games, I saw such a window, it's kind of like a browser:


There is also a tray icon, and by the way, before deleting it is better to exit the program:

The program also appeared in the Start menu:


After I exited the program using the tray menu, I opened the task manager and saw the zeta.exe process there:


In principle, it can be completed. I completed it and I did it, just as usual, do not turn off the process, then it reappears. But in the case of zeta.exe, it no longer appeared, and this is good, since nothing will interfere with us when deleting.

The program itself was installed in this folder:

C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\ZetaGamesViewer


And there is also the Uninstall.exe file, this is a special component of the program in order to remove it. That is, you can run it and remove Zeta Games. But I'll show you how to do it through the Programs and Features window.

I will also say that if you hold down Win + R and write the msconfig command there, then OK, then on the Startup tab you can uncheck Zeta Games. Then it will not start with Windows, this is in case when the program interferes with you, but you do not want to delete it:


The tick here is not even one, but two.

But then I remembered something. In general, I indicated to you above in which folder the program is installed. But now I’m thinking, but somehow I didn’t see the zeta.exe file there, well, I didn’t rack my brains, but did a reboot. Then in the manager clicked on zeta.exe right click, chose Open Storage Location from the menu, and the folder opened. Well, I thought it wasn't that simple. The Zeta Games program has two folders, and the zeta.exe process is launched from this folder:

C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\ZetaGamesNews


And here, too, there is Uninstall.exe, which can be run to remove it.

It turns out that the program has two modules, these are ZetaGamesViewer and ZetaGamesNews.

Removing the program from Zeta Games

Now let's proceed directly to the removal of ZetaGamesViewer and ZetaGamesNews. I must say right away that I personally would do this with the help of the so-called remover, it will help you not only remove programs, but also clean the system of garbage that these programs can leave

Well, now let's find out how you can delete using the built-in Windows features. Open the Start menu and select Control Panel there (if you have Windows 10, you can hold down Win + X and select this item there):


And then we find and launch the Programs and Features icon:


Well, there in the list of software we look where there is Zeta Games software, and for each of them we right-click and select Delete. First I will remove ZetaGames:


Click Delete:


Then it will all start to disappear:


During the uninstallation, I clicked on Details and saw a strange glitch, in short, the uninstaller tried to constantly complete some process, but it did not succeed. This lasted about ten seconds and then everything was deleted normally:


Now you need to uninstall another program, this is ZetaGames NEWS, also right-click on it and select Uninstall:


Then click Delete in the window:


And everything will be written ready, which means everything turned out:


Well, we did the most important thing! This removed both Zeta Games programs

C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local

Here's what I have left:


It's already residual files, there was some garbage left, the program itself has already been deleted.

Then, just in case, I also checked the Program Files (x86) folders and just Program Files, there I did not find any traces of Zeta Games, so everything seems to be clean.

Only the registry remains, well, you can already manually clean it.

How to manually clean the registry from Zeta Games?

After removing Zeta Games, you can additionally clean the registry with pens, garbage keys can easily remain in it. They do not particularly load the system, but it is better not to have them.

Press Win + R, write the regedit command and click OK:


The registry editor will open, in it we hold down Ctrl + F and write zetagames and click the Find next button:


If any keys are found, they will be highlighted. Here you need to right-click on them and select Delete. Then, to continue the search, press F3, and so on until a message appears that the search is completed. Personally, I even found a whole ZetaGames folder:


There is almost nothing in it, but I have it, and you may have something, Zeta Games versions may be different.

I also checked browsers, I didn't find any virus extensions there.

I hope that you have learned what Zeta Games is, and now you can conclude how much you need it. And you know, it's very good that this Zeta Games can be deleted just like that, well, that is, that there are no jokes. With some programs, you still need to suffer in order to properly remove them along with the giblets.

But I think that it would be useful for you to check the computer for such utilities, maybe they will find something, so if you have time, then listen to me and check.

The popularization of cryptocurrencies and its mining have led to the fact that many attackers write special sources that, penetrating into the computer of any user, begin their work, thereby consuming virtually all of its resources. After that, the work becomes virtually impossible, because the opening of Internet pages can last about a minute, office programs constantly freeze, and even typing regular text becomes problematic. To get rid of such troubles, you need to know how to detect the miner on the computer in order to turn it off in a timely manner, and subsequently remove it from the system. Such a threat is most often not recognized.

initial malware of this type were those that launched as a minimalist window. Visually, they were difficult to identify, but still possible. For the computer to work normal mode, this window was enough to find and close. Now the attackers have become more inventive. Now the virus is being introduced into browsers in the form of extensions. As a result, the processor is loaded to the fullest and overheats. Spontaneous restarts or shutdowns of the computer may occur.

Consider the procedure for detecting a miner in the Chrome browser and removing it

  1. Press the key combination Shift + Esc to open the task manager in the browser.
  2. See which page is using the most CPU and complete the task.
  3. If the extension gives the load, then double-click on it, delete it, and then restart Chrome.

Sometimes attackers are more sophisticated and make sure that the extension is loaded in an iframe. In such a situation, the task manager cannot display which extension is infected. A similar threat is also called a hidden miner. How to detect it and subsequently remove it? The scheme is almost the same:

  1. In the task manager, in the displayed list, click on the subframe that is loading the processor.
  2. A special control window will open, in which the malicious extension will be highlighted, remove it.
  3. Restart your browser.

In order to prevent such situations, you can install a special “No Coin” extension that will protect against the penetration of such threats. It does not consume a lot of resources, and if necessary, it will respond in a timely manner to the penetration of the miner.
