How do I get spyware/ malware/ whatever virus is on my computer, off my computer?
-
Its making it go slow, and I'm afraid to check my bank using this computer, so before I take it to a computer doctor, how can I fix it myself?
-
Answer:
I use three programs, AVG, Malwarebytes, and Spybot. All three are free. Just download and run them. Also, if the computer is slow, run Disk Cleanup which is already on your computer.

Well is this a specific virus? What is it actually doing? If its interfering with your computer processing and denying you access to programs then obviously the steps are going to be different. What antivirus program do you have? What operating system do you have? Do you even know that you actually have a virus or is it just running slowly? Need to know all this stuff before we can even begin to properly advise you.
Please remember one thing, contrary to what you will be told. No free AV is any use.
Try this: Firstly, boot your computer to the Safe Mode menu screen. You do this by repeatedly pressing F8 as soon as you boot up. Once there, use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode with Networking. Continue to boot from there, by pressing Enter. If that's successful, download and run TDSSKiller.exe from Kaspersky Lab. It's tiny, and takes just a minute to run. It hunts down and kills a specific family of rootkits. Here's a link: http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208280684 Regardless of the results, download the free version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM). Install it, get updates and run a full scan (still in Safe Mode). Here's a link: http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/ After that, boot normally and run another full scan with MBAM. It will detect any malware that wasn’t running in Safe Mode. You should now delete TDSSKiller.exe, as updated versions are often made available. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware can be easily uninstalled, should you wish to do so, but it may prove to be beneficial in the future. Hope this helps.
just use malware detector with which each and every type of virus can be detected and cleared........
