Other information

Removing MotionInJoy

Due to the way MotionInJoy behaves a full reformat is advised instead. The following steps could potentially harm Windows, backup any important files before following these instructions.
MotionInJoy should be always treated as malware due to its odd and overall harmful behaviour. It can often trigger BSODs, crashes and other major system issues.
