Description
Despite updated operating system, browser, browser add-ons, installed firewall, and acute computer security settings, clever viruses, spyware or Trojans may find loop-holes to slip into your system. Not only in terms of performance, but in terms of stability and security too, these malicious software push you on back-foot. What to do next?
Solution:
Here is how-to:
1. Examine infection
Frequent security notifications, application freezing, slow PC performance, deteriorating Internet are some of the reasons to think that there is something wrong with the machine, and quite probably it’s infected. However, to come over the crossroads, you need to ascertain the fact, and what would be the better option than diagnosing through Windows Task Manager. With the combined effort of “Ctrl+Alt+Del” you can open the window, and check through the Processes tab. If it really shows any strange or unknown applications running in the background, then don’t take the situation for granted.
2. Conclude infection
If you failed to launch your security software, or access other system information through the Task Manager, msconfig or regedit, then it’s beyond doubt that viruses or malware have taken hold of the computer. Sometimes, you may also come across fake antivirus warnings like the one displayed below:
3. Online virus/malware removal tool
Searching online, can help you reach some reliable online virus or malware removal tool to fix prevailing issue. You can download Microsoft Security Essentials other prudential tools from security vendors like AVG, Kaspersky, or others.
4. Never rely on betrayed security app
There is no use of scanning your system hard-disk with the installed security software or antivirus program, as it was already betrayed in its basic task. Look for some more potent and proven security software to eradicate malicious intrusions effectively. The new scan result would be more effective if you run the virus scanner in an immune system, possibly in Linux that can resist the virus loading with startup. Windows Safe Mode also gives you the similar benefit.
5. Scanning in Safe Mode
Restart your computer and press the “F8” function key before Windows starts loading to enter Safe Mode. You will see a list of options. Select “Safe Mode with Networking” from the list of boot options.

Your system is running in Safe Mode with minimalist Windows features. Now run Internet Explorer and execute a trusted online virus scanner from Bitdefender, ESET or any other.
We recommend using the ESET Online Scanner, a Web-based virus detection app that is always up-to-date and runs off a remote server. To get the best result, you need to customize the application. Click “Advanced settings,” and choose the file archives and browser data, etc. and other settings as per demand. The tool will run through your browser, and will remove malware from your PC.

Scanning with Trend Micro’s HouseCall is also a good idea. Being not a Web app, it can be
downloaded and used to create flash drive virus scanner tool. Depending upon the gravity of the issue, full system scan, custom scan, and quick-scan can be configured through the “Settings” tab.
Embellished with Windows UI, the Kaspersky Rescue Disk is a handy virus removal tool. However, before taking the charge, you need to enable the update option, as the software doesn’t get updated automatically. To do this manually, select the Update Center tab and click Start update. Next, click the “Scan” tab, click “Settings,” and set the security level to the highest position.
If you are competent with DOS, then you can think of scanning infected system with the F-Secure Rescue CD. However, through the course of scanning, it may show a warning message “If a Windows system file is infected, the computer may not restart.” However, the chances of failure is very rare.
The F-Secure Rescue CD is a bare-bones cleaning utility for when you need to wipe every piece of malware from your PC without starting Windows.
6. Look to Linux as your last line of defense
If you above steps through Safe Mode are not making a sense, then avoid booting form the hard drive with Windows. Instead use a bootable CD or flash drive running a Linux-based antivirus utility. However, it doesn’t mean that you should be versed with the Linux. All that you need is an Internet connection, as the malware database is updated online. The first step is to download a bootable virus scanner as an .iso file. From it, you can easily create a bootable CD.
