How do I remove a virus off my computer quickly!?

Try a online antivirus scanner and a online anti-adware/malware/spyware scanner in safe mode with network to clean up your computer BEFORE you download anything.

Turn off system restore before you boot up in safe mode with network to clear your system restore points for viruses, spyware, adware etc.

To get in safe mode tap F8 when booting you computer.

Choose "Safe mode with network".

Go to Start – Run - type iexplore http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html Enter(ok).

Do a full system scan. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.

When that scan does not find anything you reboot again in safe mode with network.

Go to Start – Run – type iexplore http://www.ewido.net/en/ Enter(ok).

Do a full scan. If you find something, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.

**NOTE: Do NOT do anything else with your computer when scanning. This because you can start virus/adware/spyware/malware manually.

When no one of these scanners are showing anything you can reboot back to normal mode.

Turn on system restore.

------------------

You need to get one antivirus program, one firewall and some spyware/adware/malware removers if you don't have it.

I use Norton Internet Security on my desktop running XP Home SP2 with Firefox.

On my laptop i have Ubuntu 7.04. No security needed in Linux, but i have antivirus and firewall.

Here are some free programs.

BitDefender Anti-Virus Free.

Avast Anti-Virus Free.

Avast Virus Cleaner - free virus removal tool.

Firewall Protection.

ZoneAlarm Firewall Free.

http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/catalog/pro...

Easy-to-use firewall blocks hackers and other unknown threats.

* Systematically identifies hackers and blocks access attempts.

Automatically makes your computer invisible to anyone on the Internet.

Use ZoneAlarm if you normally use Windows Firewall.

Disable Windows Firewall after downloading ZoneAlarm if it's not done automatically.

Ad-Aware 2007 Free.

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_aware_free....

Ad-Aware 2007 Free remains the most popular anti-spyware product for computer users around the world, with nearly one million downloads every week. Our free anti-spyware version provides you with advanced protection against spyware that secretly attaches and takes control of your computer, resulting in aggressive advertising pop-ups, sluggish computer activity, even identity theft through stolen bank details, passwords, and credit card account numbers. If you want real-time scanning capabilities, consider upgrading to Ad-Aware 2007 Plus for real-time protection against spyware, all the time.

SUPERAntiSpyware Free.

AVG Anti-spyware Free.

http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5

Spybot-S&D Free.

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.h...

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

AVG Anti-Rootkit Free.

http://free.grisoft.com/doc/39798/lng/us/tpl/v5

AVG Anti-Rootkit is a powerful tool with state-of-the-art technology for detection and removal of rootkits. rootkits are used to hide the presence of a malicious object like Trojans or keyloggers on your computer. If a threat uses rootkit technology to hide itself it is very hard to find the malware on your PC. AVG Anti-Rootkit gives you the power to find and delete the rootkit and to uncover the threat the rootkit is hiding.

CCleaner free.

CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it's fast and contains NO spyware or adware.

ClearAllHistory - clears browser history, cache, cookies, clipboard and remove other computer activity tracks.

http://www.clearallhistory.com/delete-passwords.ht...

**NOTE: Only have one antivirus program and one firewall installed on your computer.

Anti-adware/malware/spyware are ok to have more of.

Also scan with online scanners sometimes.

Hope this was helpful.

Good luck.

RE:

How do I remove a virus off my computer quickly!?

My computer got a virus because my stupid idiot brother was looking at, you know what. He had told me this like 5 hours ago. I now have 51 virus threats in my computer, some being Trojans. My Internet Connection Speed has already decreased by 39%, and my system performance is slowed down by 47%....

Clean Virus Off Computer

Okay bear in mind that some things you need to fix this are on the Net, but the longer that you are on the Net, the longer you are exposed (and potentially exposing others) to harm.

Essentially I strongly recommend the following:

- Copy any important data off to a USB Flash drive or burn to a CD or whatever (ie: Backup).

- Update your Antivirus signatures. (Top Priority)

- Run a complete scan over your whole machine.

- Ensure the Antivirus software detects and cleans everything.

- Reboot your machine.

- Repeat the Scan process until everything is gone.

If your AntiVirus software can't detect and/or clean some viruses off, I thoroughlly recommend giving either (or both) of the following a try:

- Adaware (There's a free personal version). Update signaturess, clean and scan.

- www.sarc.com. It has detection and removal tools and instructions for just about any virus. Really well worth a look.

If you find you're PC is running slowly, press Ctrl-Alt-Del and then select Task Manager and Processes, Click on the CPU column heading to see what is chewing the CPU. You can then Google that process to see whether it appears to be legit or not. (Note some viruses disguise themselves as legit processes).

Good luck!

Run both of these on-line scans. Both are free and excellent at detecting and removing malware free of charge. There is no need to un-install your current protections before using these.

1. Scan for virus, worms, dialers, etc. and remove (free online scan, no downloaded program) with BitDefender's Online Scanner

http://www.bitdefender.com/

2. Scan for trojans, adware, and spyware and remove (free online scan, no downloaded program) with Ewido Online Scanner ( now known as AVG Anti-Spyware). This is NOT the same as AVG Anti-Virus.

http://www.ewido.net/en/

These scans will take quite a bit of time. The time is necessary to clean-up an infected computer.

Good luck.

Down load and run Active Virus Shield. It's 98 % effective on getting rid of bugs. Don't waist your time with AVG. It's only 82% effective.

First of all are you running anti virus software & spyware software. I would run Spybot search & destroy to find spyware & run a full anti virus scan.

If you don't have any anti virus program, get avast or avg - these are both free.

here i made a video around 1 hour long.

i explain the theory how to remove any virus, spyware, trojan.

i hope it helps.

enjoy
