                                        Think you have a virus?

                                   Here's what to do:

First Download:

Then:

Install SUPERAntispyware and Malwarebytes. (Restart computer if prompted)

Run SUPERAntispyware as administrator (right click the programs Icon -> Run as Administrator). Wait for it to load. Update your database by clicking 'click here to check for updates' on the main home screen of SUPERAntispyware.

 

Now:

Click on 'Scan this computer' in SUPERAntispyware.

 

Recommended Pre-Scan Actions:

Start the scan by clicking on the 'Complete Scan' option. Now wait for the scan to finish.

Once the scan has finished, it will give you some options if any issues were found:

- Then If prompted restart the computer.

 

Next:

Run Malwarebytes as Administrator (right click the programs Icon -> Run as Administrator)

Click the update option if it doesn't update automatically.

Hopefully, by this point, any Viruses/Malware etc. will have been removed. 

I hope this helped. If you continue to have problems, please feel free to let me know below, and I will try to provide help the best I can.

I do not work with SUPERAntispyware nor am I part of the SAS forum staff I just thought I'd make this as it has always worked for me.
