How can i remove Malware?
If you've read this thread and you think that you've been infected, here's how you can remove it.
STEP 1
Install Malwarebytes: Malwarebyte's website and download link
STEP 2
Boot in to Safe mode and run a quick Malwarebyte's system scan with, remove everything it finds.
STEP 3
Reboot, this time go to safe mode with networking, update Malwarebytes and run another quick scan, again remove everything it finds.
STEP 4
Reboot into Windows. Download and install Avira AntiVir: Avira AntiVir Personal
Update, disconnect from the Internet and then run a full system.
STEP 5
Download HijackThis
- Install it and run it.
- Perform a system scan and save the log file.
- When Notepad pops up, copy and paste the contents of the log and post them in to a new thread here at mcompute with the prefix "HJT".
Note: I recommend that you don't try and fix anything by yourself as a lot of the entries listed in the log are legit and they're need for your system to be able to run.
Alternatively
If you prefer you can run an AV scan off a bootable AV disc before performing step 1.
