The Rediroff.ru Whatsapp phishing scam can be found on Android, Windows, and Mac. To remove it, you want to run an antimalware scan so the tool removes the malware and any leftover remnants. We don’t recommend trying to remove rediroff.ru manually by resetting the browser et cetera because scams like this tend to come back if you don’t remove them properly with a professional tool.
The tool we recommend for removing the Rediroff.ru Whatsapp scam is Malwarebytes. You can download Malwarebytes on all three operating system it is known ton infect (Windows, Mac, and Android), which is why we recommend it. Note that you do need separate files for each operating system when you use this tool.
Regardless of the operating system you use Malwarebytes on, using it is the same. Download it, open it and then choose to run an antimalware scan. Once the scan is complete, it gives the option to quarantine the malware. You don’t usually need to restart the computer for Malwarebytes to quarantine your malware. Once the Rediroff.ru scam is quarantined, your computer is safe. And you can uninstall Malwarebytes if you like, and it won’t release the malware back on your computer if you do.
