Removing Viruses, Spyware, Adware And Trojans Using Free Antivirus And Free Antimalware

<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" >Submitted By: </span><span class="biggerlink" style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;">Matthew Rizos</span><br /><br /></span><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">Please follow the steps below to become malware free.</p><div> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">1. Backup your critical documents and system files</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">2. Create a Restore Point by clicking start – run – and typing rstrui.exe and click choose the option that allows you to create a restore point. The exact text\options will vary according the version of Windows you are using.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">3. Backup personal files such as documents and pictures to external media (like a usb hard drive, cd/dvd or flash drive)</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">4. Uninstall your current antivirus via add/remove programs in the control panel. I know this may seem a little weird since we are trying to remove malware, but it’s obvious that your current antivirus is not working otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this. If you don’t have antivirus, then you can skip this step.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">5. Visit the following link to download AntiVir Free Edition to your download folder (like you’re my documents or desktop for example) The download is about 17 mb and takes about 1-2 min on cable or dsl.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">6. Double Click antivir_workstation_win7u_en_h (looks like a little umbrella) and follow the default install options.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">7. AntiVir will want to download an update. Please let the update download and install.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">6. Once AntiVir has been completely updated you may start encountering some virus detections. If you do please quarantine infections first (and only delete as a second option).</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">7. Now, we are going to reboot your PC in Safe Mode. Safe Mode loads a “bare bones” version of windows and disables 90% of viruses and their protection mechanisms.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">8. Reboot your pc.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">9.

Please use your up/down arrows on your keyboard and select safe mode. You will see about 30 lines of quickly scrolling text. This is normal.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">11. After 30 seconds – 5 minutes you will be loaded into windows safe mode (it says safe mode on all four corners of your screen). Windows may ask if you if you would like to enter safe mode. Choose Yes.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">12. Now it’s time to load AntiVir. You may have a shortcut on your desktop or you can load AntiVir by clicking Start – Programs – AntiVir PersonalClassic Edition -- Start AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">13. Click the “Scanner Tab”.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">14. Right Click “Local Drives” and click scan.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">15. Your entire computer will be scanned now. This entire process can take 1-4 hours (typically). During this process will most likely encounter malware ( such as viruses, spyware, adware or Trojans ). You should always try to remove malware in this order:</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">a. Repair<br />b. Quarantine<br />c. Rename<br />d. Delete</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">16. After the scan has completed and the malware has been neutralized you should do a reboot.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">The following steps below are removing additional malware left behind.
