So you've got a virus? LMFAO! Yes... I just laughed at you.... because it's frigging hilarious. Lemme show you how to get those little bastards off of your computer.
First thing you need to do is start up in safe mode. To do this, start up your computer or restart if it's already on (Just come back to this website afterwards) and keep pressing the F8 key repeatedly on your keyboard until this screen comes up. MAKE SURE TO CHOOSE "Safe Mode with Networking" using the arrows on your keyboard.
After you select "Safe Mode with Networking" this a lot of text scrolls up on the screen, don't panic just wait for it to finish. When the computer starts up open up your web browser and download Malware Bytes. Click Here to head over to the page (it's CNET, so it's reputable)
Click on the green rectangle that says "Download Now" to download it, then install it. MAKE SURE after the installatation the two buttons that say "Update Malware Bytes" and "Launch Malware Bytes" are checked. After the updates are finished, it's time to run the scan.
MAKE SURE you select "Perform Full Scan". Then click on "Scan". This may take a while so find something else to do in the meantime. When the scan is complete, it's on to the next step.
When the scan is complete, you will see this screen. Click on "Show Results", then it's on to the next step.
Make sure all the viruses are checked and click on the "Remove Selected" button.
When the scan is completed, all you have to do is click "Yes" and you're done. All that needs to be done is to remove the windows restore points to prevent the same viruses from resurfacing. That will be in another blog though.
