A computer virus contamination on your notebook is a real nuisance. Even for a notebook specialist, eradicating a virus from a PC can be a time consuming and aggravating chore.
A number of viruses are designed to reinstall themselves even when they have been detected and removed. Some viruses write themselves into the registry of your laptop, so these are loaded as soon as you boot your laptop.
Of course you ought to keep your anti-virus software program up to date. But even that is not always victorious in stopping an infection - particularly if you frequent shareware or web pages containing adult content.
To remove a virus infection:
1.If you are using a Windows operating system, visit the Microsoft Update website and install the latest updates. This may detect and eradicate the virus.
2.Microsoft now have a ‘Malicious Software Removal Tool’. Type this into Google or Bing and follow the instructions.
3.Goto your anti-virus manufacturers website and download the latest updates. Then perform a scan of your computer.
I’ve tried this and it hasn’t worked!
Some viruses will in fact disable your anti-virus program. If you cannot access your anti-virus software program or you continue seeing the same malware pop up after the scan, you will probably find that the virus has written itself into the registry.
Now this moves into advanced laptop virus removal. You need to be careful when rewriting the registry file because it tells Windows which programs to start up when when booting the operating system. Unless you are competent with computers you are best leaving this to a virus removal expert.
So you’re an expert!
OK, run your anti-virus program. If it won’t run in Windows, reboot your PC in Safe Mode and run it from there. It will most likely identify the virus even if it can’t destroy it. Note down the file names of all the viruses, malware, worms and any other dubious files it lists.
Now you may need a second PC for this, of course, but type them file names into Google or Bing one at a time. you will find that somebody out there on the World Wide Web has come upon these viruses and you will quickly determine which is the most malicious. Likelyhoods are this is your problem virus.
Now, you will in all probability find that someone has written very specific directions on how to destroy this virus. If the source seems to be trustworthy, then by all means follow the instructions.
Alternatively, open up your registry file. Look for the details of your malicious virus - most likely in the boot file. This is the file you need to obliterate - But! Before you obliterate any files, make a backup copy of your Registry folder. Accidently eradicating the wrong file could make it very difficult or even impossible to run your laptop properly.
Delete any file connected with the virus or malware the list you made. Now reboot your notebook and run your antivirus software again. With any luck nothing else will pop up and you have removed the virus.
If you still find problems with your laptop - don’t panic! You’ve done your best. It’s now time to either take that laptop down to a PC repair company or call a computer virus removal business.
