FOLLOW THESE STEPS

Step 1 Enter Safe Mode
  • Before you do anything, you need to disconnect
    your PC from the internet, and dont use it until
    youre ready to clean your PC.
  • This can help prevent the malware from spreading
    and/or leaking your private data.
  • If you think your PC may have a malware
    infection, boot your PC into Microsofts Safe
    Mode. In this mode, only the minimum required
    programs and services are loaded.
  • If any malware is set to load automatically when
    Windows starts, entering in this mode may prevent
    it from doing so.
  • This is important because it allows the files to
    be removed easier since theyre not actually
    running or active.

Step 2 Delete temporary files
  • Now that youre in Safe Mode, youll want to run
    a virus scan.
  • But before you do that, delete your temporary
    files.
  • Doing this may speed up the virus scanning, free
    up disk space, and even get rid of some malware.
  • To use the Disk Cleanup utility included with
    Windows 10 just type Disk Cleanup in the search
    bar or after pressing the Start button and select
    the tool that appears named Disk Cleanup.

Step 3 Download malware scanners
  • Now youre ready to have a malware scanner do its
    workand fortunately, running a scanner is enough
    to remove most standard infections.
  • If you already had an antivirus program active on
    your computer, you should use a different scanner
    for this malware check, since your current
    antivirus software may not have detected the
    malware.
  • Remember, no antivirus program can detect 100
    percent of the millions of malware types and
    variants.

Step 4 Run a scan with Malwarebytes
  • For illustrative purposes, well describe how to
    use the Malwarebytes on-demand scanner. To get
    started, download it.
  • If you disconnected from the internet for safety
    reasons when you first suspected that you might
    be infected, reconnect to it so you can download,
    install, and update Malwarebytes then disconnect
    from the internet again before you start the
    actual scanning.
  • If you cant access the internet or you cant
    download Malwarebytes on the infected computer,
    download it on another computer, save it to a USB
    flash drive, and take the flash drive to the
    infected computer.

  • After downloading Malwarebytes, run the setup
    file and follow the wizard to install the
    program. Once the program opens, keep the default
    scan option (Threat Scan) selected and click
    the Start Scan button.
  • It should check for updates before it runs the
    scan, so just make sure that happens before you
    proceed.
  • Though it offers a custom-scan option,
    Malwarebytes recommends that you perform the
    threat scan first, as that scan usually finds all
    of the infections anyway. Depending on your
    computer, the quick scan can take anywhere from 5
    to 20 minutes, whereas a custom scan might take
    30 to 60 minutes or more.
  • While Malwarebytes is scanning, you can see how
    many files or objects the software has already
    scanned, and how many of those files it has
    identified either as being malware or as being
    infected by malware

Step 5 Fix your web browser
  • Malware infections can damage Windows system
    files and other settings. One common malware
    trait is to modify your web browsers homepage to
    reinfect the PC, display advertisements, prevent
    browsing, and generally annoy you.
  • Before launching your web browser, check your
    homepage and connection settings. For Internet
    Explorer right-click the Windows 10 Start button
    and select Control Panel, then Internet Options.
  • Find the Home Page settings in the General tab,
    and verify that its not some site you know
    nothing about. For Chrome, Firefox, or Edge,
    simply go to the setttings window of your browser
    to check your homepage setting.

Step 6 Recover your files if Windows is corrupt
  • If you cant seem to remove the malware or if
    Windows isnt working properly, you may have to
    reinstall Windows. But before wiping your hard
    drive, copy all of your files to an external USB
    or flash drive.
  • If you check your email with a client program
    (such as Outlook or Windows Mail), make sure that
    you export your settings and messages to save
    them.
  • You should also back up your device drivers with
    a utility such as Double Driver, in case you
    dont have the driver discs anymore or dont want
    to download them all again.
  • Remember, you cant save installed programs.
    Instead, youll have to reinstall the programs
    from discs or redownload them.

  • If Windows wont start or work well enough to
    permit you to back up your files, you may create
    and use a Live CD, such as Hirens BootCD (HBCD),
    to access your files.
  • Once you have backed up everything, reinstall
    Windows either from the disc that came with your
    PC, by downloading the installation image from
    Microsoft, or by using your PCs factory restore
    option, if it has one.
  • For a factory restore you typically must press a
    certain key on the keyboard during the boot
    process in order for restore procedure to
    initialize, and your PC should tell you what key
    to press in the first few seconds after you turn
    it on.
  • It theres no on-screen instructions consult your
    manual, the manufacturer, or Google.
