Quick Steps To Remove Viruses From Your Pc.

Is your PC infected with malware? Here’s how to remove malware and use your computer as new.

Has your computer been slowing down lately, pop-up windows popping up, or are you constantly experiencing strange problems on your computer? If so, you should be suspicious of viruses, spyware, or other types of malware infection.  Even if you have a virus scanning program on your computer.

Similar symptoms may appear when there are hardware problems, but it is better to check and skip them unless it is clear. If you read this article properly, you don’t have to call a technician at home or ask Otaku, a computer in your neighbor’s house, to teach you how to find malware yourself.

Step 1: turn on the computer in safe mode

First, disconnect the PC from the Internet, and do not use it until all malware is removed. This will prevent malicious code from spreading information on your PC.

If your Microsoft PC appears to be infected with malware, first boot into Safe Mode. This will load only the minimal programs and features you need.

If you are infected with malware that is set to work as soon as Windows starts, the malware cannot start by itself when you boot into Safe Mode.  To boot into Safe Mode, first, turn off the PC, find out where the F8 button is on the keyboard, turn on the PC and keep pressing the F8 button before displaying anything on the screen.

In safe mode, some people may feel that the PC is turning on faster than usual, which may be because the PC is infected with malware, or it may be because there are many programs that are set to start at the same time Windows starts.

Step 2: delete temporary files:

Since you booted in safe mode, you may want to start a virus-scanning program, but before that, you must delete temporary files. This is because deleting a temporary file not only speeds up the virus search but also frees up disk space and sometimes deletes the malicious code itself.

To use the Disk Cleanup utility installed in Windows, go to Start> All Programs (or just Programs)> Accessories> System Tools> Disk Cleanup.

Step 3: Download the malware search program

Now you’re all set to get your malware search program up and running. Fortunately, most infections can be treated by running a search program.

If there is an existing virus search program, you can use other malware search programs to find malware that the existing program could not catch. This is because no search program can catch 100% of millions of malicious codes.

There are two types of virus-detection programs. One is a more real-time search program that is more familiar to us, and it monitors in real-time whether malware is infected.

The other is an on-demand search program, which only scans for viruses when the user directly opens the program and issues a search command. Only one type of real-time virus scanning program should be installed at a time, but on-demand scanning programs can be used to detect various viruses while having multiple programs together.

If your PC seems to be infected, we recommend that you first search with an on-demand program and then use the real-time search program to do a full search once more.

Free and great on-demand navigation programs include BitDefender Free Edition, Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool, Malwarebytes, Norman Malware Cleaner, And there is SuperAntiSpyware.

Step 4: run Malwarebytes

Here, as an example, we will explain how to use MalwareByte, an on-demand search program. First, you need to download the program.

If you suspect an infection and disconnect from the Internet due to security problems, first connect to the Internet again, download and install the Malware Byte program, and start updating.

Then it’s a good idea to disconnect from the Internet again and start browsing. If you cannot access the Internet, or if you are infected with a virus and cannot download the malware byte, you can download it to another computer and move it to the infected computer through a USB drive.

Once you have downloaded the malware bytes, run the installation file, and follow the installation wizard to install the program. Then, the malware byte will update itself and run the program.

If the database says it is out-of-date, click’Yes’ and click OK again when it says to update and install successfully. Run the program, select Perform quick scan and press the Scan button.

Start browsing on malware bytes

Although there is a full scan option, the malware byte recommends performing a quick scan first. This is because a quick scan can detect most infections.

Depending on the computer, a quick scan takes about 5 to 20 minutes, but a full scan takes about 30 to 60 minutes. During the malware byte scan, it displays how many files and programs were scanned, and how many of the scanned files were identified as malicious code or infected with malicious code.

If the malicious code byte turns off by itself when the scan starts, and then it does not run again, it is possible that you are infected with a rootkit-type malicious code or another serious virus that has the ability to automatically block the search program. have. You may try to get rid of this malware by other bypass paths, but perhaps after backing up all of your files (which we’ll cover in more detail later), re-installing Windows saves you more time and effort in fighting malware. It would be a good way.

If the malware cannot find any infected files, a text file will appear showing the search results indicating that no infection was found. If you still suspect a malware infection, you may want to perform a full scan with the malware bytes or use other search programs mentioned above.

When the malicious code byte finds the malicious code, a window will warn you of the search results. If you want to see which files are suspected of being infected, click’ Scan Results’ in the bottom right of the window. Then, dangerous malicious codes are automatically selected.

If you want to delete other items, just select them all. Then, click the delete Selected Items’ button at the bottom left to delete all the infected files.

Deleting infected files from malware bytes

After removing all the infected files, a text file will appear showing the results of the search and malware removal. Scan these lists to see if the infected items have been removed properly.

Sometimes, a window prompts you to restart your computer to completely remove the malware. In that case, restart the computer according to the command.

If the problem persists even after finding and removing malicious codes through a quick scan, you may want to perform a full scan with the malicious code bytes or use other search programs mentioned above. If the malware seems to have disappeared, it is certain to perform a full scan using a real-time search program to check the results once again.

Step 5: web browser hand view:

Malware infections also affect Windows system files and other settings.

In fact, one of the most common features of malware is that it annoys the user by changing the web browser’s start page or connection settings, re-infecting the PC, displaying advertisements, or interfering with the Internet.

Before starting a web browser, check your homepage and connection settings. For Internet Explorer, go to Start에Control Panel menu and click Internet Options. Make sure your home page isn’t set to a strange site you don’t know. Before starting Internet Explorer, check the homepage settings and Internet connection

Next, click the Connection tab and click the LAN Settings button. Check’Automatically detect settings’ if you do not need a proxy at work or your ISP.

Step 6: restore files when Windows is infected

If the removal of malware looks very difficult, or if Windows doesn’t work properly, you may need to reinstall Windows.

Before erasing all hard drives, save all files on your computer to an external USB or flash drive. If you are checking e-mail with a client program such as Outlook or Windows Mail, you should also save the settings and messages to USB.

Also, in case you do not have a driver disk, you should back up the device using a utility such as a double driver. However, installed programs cannot be saved to USB, so you must reinstall from disk or download a new one.

If Windows doesn’t even start or doesn’t work enough to back up files, you can create and use a live CD like Hiren’s BootCD.

Once you have backed up all your files, reinstall Windows using the disk that came with your PC or, if you have one, the PC Factory Reset option. As when entering Safe Mode, certain keys must be pressed to bring up the System Restore screen. If there is a factory reset option, it will tell you which key to press as soon as it is launched.

Secure PC management:

A real-time search program must be installed on the PC, and it is checked whether it is always updated. If you don’t like programs that pay annually, you can use programs like Avast, AVG, Comodo, and Microsoft Security Essentials, which offer quality security for free.

In addition to this virus detection software, you can also block harmful sites using a free open DNS service. Also, if you frequently go to a site with a high risk of malware infection, running a web browser in the sandboxing mode will not affect the system even if the malware is down.

Some search programs, such as Komodo, offer to the sandbox, or you can use programs like Sandboxie altogether.

If you want to remove all malicious code from your PC, you should check your online accounts, such as banks, emails, and SNS. Check if there is anything suspicious and change the password. This is because some of the malicious codes have a function of capturing passwords.

If the system that backs up files or systems by itself is working, it is also a good idea to browse through the backed up files at least once through a program to see if any infected files were accidentally saved. If the virus is hard to detect, delete old backup files and reset the software to save new backup files.
