MSUpdate71/dwm.exe, I found out that this is a backdoor virus. I tried several times to delete it but it keeps coming back. How can I get rid of it for good?

MSupdate71/dwm.exe is not easy to remove, but we have heard that a program called "unhackme.exe" has had good results removing this spyware, and a number of others. You can find it at "https://www.greatis.com/unhackme/".

I suggest that you make a full backup of your system before you run any removal software.

Just make sure you are careful, when removing other programs, if you are not sure don't remove. Some safe programs show a false positive, just watch for these. If you aren't comfortable removing programs, get local help.

Remember the final choice is up to you.
