Suspected a virus activity in your computer recently? Are you worried to knees fearing valuable data loss or other severe problems in your computer? Do not worry as we have compiled a free virus removal guide that will help you not only remove virus but also block its recurrence in future.
Instructions:
Create a backup of your important data before you begin with the virus removal procedure. If you have an antivirus installed on your computer, check if it is working or not. Sometimes, a powerful virus disables your antivirus protection to intrude into your machine, causing massive data loss or other destructions. If the antivirus software is working, launch it and update with latest virus/spyware definitions. These definitions are small files that update your antivirus software about the behavior of existing and latest threats.
When updating has finished, hit the Scan tab if there is any and choose to run a full virus scan (recommended) and not a custom one. Wait until the scanning finishes and looks up for the virus and other infected files. When finished, prompt the tool to delete them. Exit the window and open your internet browser viz. Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Chrome etc. Delete all the browsing history including forms, saved passwords, cookies, bookmarks, and visited websites etc. When done, download and run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Free. The procedure has been described below.
If you don't have an antivirus software installed, do not worry. Open your internet browser and download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Free, a free online virus removal tool. Visit the official website of Malwarebytes (malwarebytes.org) and download the latest version of Anti-Malware Free. Save the mbam-setup.exe file by clicking on the Save File button. Exit the browser window. Browse to the location where the mbam-setup.exe file is saved and open it. Hit the Run button to initialize the tool's installation.
Follow the onscreen instructions and complete the installation. When prompted, restart your computer. Once the computer has restarted, look for the Anti-Malware Free tool icon and open it. Click on the Update tab first and then press the Update button. It is mandatory to update the tool before running a scan. When done, click the Scanner tab and select Perform full scan. Hit the Scan button to initialize scanning of your machine. When finished, prompt the tool to remove the virus infected files that were found during the scan. Exit the window and it is done. Your computer is now free of the virus.
Other than Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Free, there are various free virus removal tools available on the internet. These include McAfee virus-specific removal tools, Trend Micro HouseCall, BitDefender, Avast, Panda, Kaspersky, and Avira among others. You can choose any one of them to perform free virus removal on your computer. Other than this, you must practice safe browsing when online. Never browse malicious websites or download from them or click on pop-ups. These may bring harmful virus infections to your computer.
Additional Tips:
You must run a virus scan from Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware or any other such free virus removal tool despite already having run one from your antivirus software. This ensures the detection as well as removal of the traces of a virus.
There are certain types of viruses that are powerful and dangerous and are capable of bypassing your computer's security system.
