People spend a lot of time, nerves and money on solving such problems, this article is about how to turn off MegaFon Pro quickly and independently.
In order not to waste your precious minutes, we inform you right away:
It is technically IMPOSSIBLE to remove MegaFon Pro from your device without a trace... Moreover, there is no need for this, the application is written in the memory of the SIM card, takes up little space and does nothing by itself.
It is also a large Internet portal of the same name with large quantity options, which gives access to the sim menu. Overall, the service is confusing enough. Often they come across messages like: "MegaFon Pro" is a scam to cut money. Even if this is so (and we do not assert), you need to know the "enemy" by sight.
Many subscribers confuse MegaFon Pro and Mobile subscriptions... These services are somewhat different from each other. There is a separate article on how to turn off mobile phones, as well as on how, But short instruction we give here too.
How to quickly check and disable subscriptions through MegaFon Pro:
- send SMS with the text “List” or “List” to the operator's information number, send “Off” or “Stop” to disconnect;
- enter the same SIM menu and view the "subscription" item, here you can also disable them.
Where does the confidence arise that the problem is in MegaFon Pro?
Many subscriptions are displayed as "megafonpro", as a result, the subscriber, having ordered detailing, sees this record and thinks that the problem is in the MegaFon Pro application, but this is far from always the case. As a rule, this is a regular subscription, that is, the application itself, by its presence, does not lead to a withdrawal of funds from the account.
What to do in such a situation?
Disable subscriptions in the same way as described earlier and do not enable them anymore
On iPhone, MegaFon Pro can be found along the path: Settings - Phone - SIM-Programs.
On many devices, including Android, this menu is simply in the settings and is called “MegaFon PRO”. The technologies used to implement the application are outdated and are needed by a small number of subscribers. Nevertheless, like any service with a monthly fee, the service is a benefit to the telecom operator, so it remains.
We repeat: it is almost impossible to remove the Megafon Pro application from the SIM card. Every telecom operator has similar applications. If you are determined to uninstall this application, then only experienced employees will be able to help, but, let us warn you right away, the game is not worth the trouble, it will be much easier to simply ignore the capabilities of this application than to try to uninstall it. Spend time and money solving a problem that doesn’t exist, if you are careful when handling your phone.
The ones you need and disable the ones you don't need. Or, if you wish, disable the service completely using the USSD command * 111 * 1212 * 2 #.
If you are a Beeline subscriber, then this service, which this operator has cellular called "Chameleon", you have it connected by default when you buy a SIM card. Go to the SIM-menu, select the item "INFOchannels", in it - the sub-item "Themes", then enable and disable themes to your liking. In order to deactivate the service completely, dial the USSD command * 110 * 20 #.
For Megafon subscribers this service is available under the name "Kaleidoscope". In order to customize the list of enabled and disabled themes, find the item "Kaleidoscope" in the phone's SIM-menu, and in it - the sub-item "Subscription", then turn the themes on and off. In order to completely disable the service, sequentially use the items of the SIM-menu "Kaleidoscope" -> "Settings" -> "Broadcasting" -> "Disable".
If you decide to disable the service incompletely, remember that viewing the beginning of a message is always free, but ordering a continuation can be either paid or free. Its price is indicated directly in the first message. As a general rule, for MTS and Beeline, the continuation order is paid, unless otherwise indicated, and for Megafon, it is free, unless otherwise indicated. But remember, there may be exceptions. Ordering a sequel for entertainment messages almost certainly requires a paid order. Content downloads are charged according to tariff plan and if you are going to do it, be sure to select an access point (APN) dedicated to the Internet, not WAP. In roaming, any order of continuation can be paid and very expensive, without exception, downloading content from the links sent (regardless of the selected access point) will also have a significant cost.
If a child uses the phone, be sure to completely disable any of the services described above on that phone. The child may not be able to figure out if a continuation order is paid or not and quickly use up the phone balance. In addition, some of the messages may be obscene.

Opera was the first of the popular ones that provided the ability to block unsolicited windows, so let's start with it. V latest version browser, the corresponding settings are in the main menu, in the "Quick settings" subsection of the "Settings" section. Four options are offered: two radical (allow all / all) and two more flexible - open windows in background and do not open windows unless requested by the user.
There are others even more fine tuning filtering the content of HTML pages. They can be found in the "Scripts" tab, but such settings already require some understanding of the structure of pages, HTML and JavaScript.
V Mozilla browser FireFox, the path to the setting that includes the pop-up blocking 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, you should put a checkmark in front of the inscription "Block pop-up windows". And you can add or remove a site to the list of exceptions to this rule by clicking the "Exceptions" button.
In the browser Internet Explorer the item enabling pop-up blocking is in the "Service" section top menu... There is also an item that opens the Pop-up Blocking Options window. In it, in addition to editing the list of sites-exclusions from general rule you can set one of three levels of pop-up filtering. Here, in addition, it is possible to enable / disable sound and text notification about each locked window.
There is another way to this setting - in the "Tools" section of the top menu, click "Internet Options". In the window that opens, on the "Privacy" tab, check the box next to "Enable pop-up blocking". Here you can use the "Options" button to open the "Pop-up Blocker Options" dialog box.
Unfortunately, the fight against pop-up windows is developing according to the same scenario as the fight against Internet viruses. That is, when a way is found to fight viruses using one technology, virus builders develop another. And here this process is complicated by the fact that pop-ups are used not only to the detriment, but also for the convenience of users.

Enter the account number or, contained in the banner text, and click the "Get code" button. Substitute the passwords suggested by the system in the banner field. If none of the given codes came up, 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 of the above methods did not help, then try to find the virus files yourself. Start the system in safe mode so that the viral window does not interfere with the search.

Find and delete all files with the dll extension that end with the letter lib, for example: hostlib.dll, partlib.dll, and so on. After deleting these files, start the operating system normally. Scan it with antivirus software.
Of all the types of malware, the most annoying user experience is WinLockers, a type of Trojan horse. They almost completely block the operation of the system, cover the screen with their window and require sending an SMS to toll number to get the unlock code. Winlocker is not easy to deal with, and all methods require some computer knowledge.
Instructions
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 the system with the latest anti-virus - do not agree if you do not know exactly what this site really can do. Close the window as quickly as possible, and best of all with the site. Then check the system with your own antivirus.
Install a high-quality security system on your computer. It is desirable that it includes not only 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 - in no case agree to its terms and do not send SMS! Its cost can be much higher than what scammers write in their program window. Moreover, having agreed once, you may find that money continues to be debited from your mobile account, allegedly as subscription fee for a non-existent service. Getting rid of such a subscription will not be easy.
Some manufacturers of 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, not infected computer. Enter in the service window the number to which the scammers offer to send an SMS, and write down the code. However, remember that even if malware turned off, this does not mean that it has disappeared. Unlocking the system is just the beginning of the steps to clean it up.
If you have a bootable LiveCD disc- boot from it. Antivirus vendors often include their own version of the LiveCD, which automatically checks the system for viruses upon boot. However, new versions of winlockers appear so often that antivirus cannot always detect them.
After booting from disk or unlocking the system, standard means Search to find all executable files created on that day. If such files appear in the Windows system folders or in your regular download folder - most likely, this is the main body of the winlocker. Delete these files, but remember their names.
Open up system registry Windows. Be careful - when booting from the Live CD, a temporary registry of the system in which you are currently working may open instead. Your best bet is to find the main registry file at Windows folder and open it in the regedit program. Find the names of the Winlocker files among the registry entries. If they replace system files such as explorer.exe or ctfmon.exe, correct these entries, otherwise just delete them.
Restart your computer normally and restore the system configuration from the last checkpoint. The recovery program is located in the menu at "Accessories - System Tools - System Restore".
