How-To Remove a Viruses, Malware, Spyware and Adwave from your Computer for Free

[Joey]

I am the main person that takes care of virus removal at my job. I oversee over 300 computers and remove viruses from work computers almost on a daily basis. Through trial and error over the past 2 years I have developed a thorough virus removal system that will take care of 95% of the viruses, malware, spyware and adware threats out there.


ONLY IF YOU CANNOT LOG INTO WINDOWS OR PERFORM ANY OF THE TASKS LISTED BELOW YOU NEED TO GO INTO “Safe Mode with Networking” (aka “Boot into Safe Mode with Networking”). Safe Mode with Networking disables a lot of functions within Windows, which disables the vast majority of virus/malware/adware/spyware threats temporarily. This will give you the breathing space/time you need to remove the threats from your computer.

Run a full/thorough scan of your entire PC using 4 programs in the order listed.

Follow all of the instructions below in order…

--- Boot Into Safe Mode with Networking (Do this only if needed) ---
1. Turn your computer off. Wait a few seconds
2. Turn your computer on. Continuously tap the “F8” key on your keyboard until you get the, “Advance Boot Options” screen
3. Select the 2nd option “Safe Mode with Networking” by pressing the, Down Arrow on your keyboard and hit the “Enter” key on your keyboard
4. When the computer starts up in Safe Mode, everything on the screen will look large and out of the ordinary, that is normal while in safe mode

--- Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware ---
1. Download and install the free version of Anti-Malware from here http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
2. Install Anti-Malware and run an update
3. Perform a Full/Thorough scan of your entire PC using Anti-Malware
4. Follow all on-screen instructions. If it tells you to restart/reboot your computer do so. When it restarts be sure to boot into Safe Mode with Networking again.

Please help me out aswel,
My laptop with windows 7 seems to have a virus that has disabled all my anti virus protection and blocks any form of new downloads or even running any other downloads or programs. And that means I can not run any anti virus or spyware to clean it up. I read something about safe mode rebooting but it doesn't seem to work the same way with windows 7. Someone please help.

Do the following to get rid of your pc infections...


Using another, virus-free computer go to the site below and download the free version of Dr. Web’s Anti-Virus.

Then save that to a portable USB drive/stick.

Last, go into safe mode on your infected pc and run the Dr. Web anti-virus from your USB stick. It will automatically go into the quick scan. Stop the scan and select/run the Complete scan.
