WHat do if you get Virus

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

I got one recently, I found best thing do is:

 

#1 Create Backup of your Entire hardrive (inc Operating System), using Norton Ghost.

 

Or make sure you have a Windows (XP/Vista etc), BOOTABLE CD to re-install your Operating System (if you have one already, you may need to use KILLDISK (using a boot disk), and wipe your hardrive (always last resort) then install the Operating System.

 

I find, the best way, to have a your Original Disk that you got with your PC, or to get a Recovery CD-Rom (this deletes your Partition in your Drive, and install Operating System.).

 

ALways have an anti-virus program running (avast free or avg free), and try Malaware anti-spyware, Spybot. And try using Windows Washer to wash your System for files. Other then that, try to avoid going on the internet,.:eek:

Avg av is mediocre.Best is avira followed by avast.For cleaning after attack use malwarebytes antimalware(free) followed by full scan of disk with AV.

the following forums will be of help .

Malwarebytes is about maleware and will not do anything for viruses.

 

AVG is about viruses and will not do anything for maleware.

 

Slow or not, both are needed. I'd rather have a slow comp than problems. Besides, its really not all that slow, at least not on mine and my comp itself is rather slow. Anyway, be safe. And good luck. :)
