    Wintonic

    Wintonic keeps cropping up on my computer.

    How do I prevent this?

    Sorry to report, but that is likely a bit of malware. A fake Windows optimization helper.

    Google it and follow the instructions on removal. AntiMalwareBytes may be needed to rid yourself of it.

    Run malwarebytes or other malware program to remove the links.

    I did run Malwarebites and the issue is gone.
