OK GUYS, RECENTLY I FORMATTED MY COMPUTER BECAUSE A SUPPOSED 'ANTIVIRUS' HAD EATEN ALL MY FILES. AND SINCE KASPERSKY CODES LEAKED, NOWADAYS I DON'T TRUST PRETTY MUCH ALL ANTIVIRUS. I KEEP THE VIRUS MANAGEMENT WORK PERSONALLY . IT MIGHT TIRING AND COMPLICATED BUT IT SURE YIELDS BETTER RESULTS.
MOST VIRUSES ACT ON EXTERNAL REMOVABLE DEVICES. ONCE YOU PLUG EM IN AND IF THEY GET ANY FOLDERS THEY EAT EM OR TURN EM INTO SHORTCUTS. THE 2KB SHORTCUTS ARE NORMALLY RETRIVABLE, BUT THE 1KB ONES, YOU MIGHT JUST SAY GOOD BYE TO YOUR PRECIOUS PRECIOUS FILES.
TO REMOVE A VIRUS MANUALLY CAN BE DONE MANY WAYS. E.G PERFORMING A SYSTEM SEARCH IN SAFE MODE, USING CMD OR THE REGESTRY. AM GONNA EXPLAIN HOW TO TO THIS IN CMD AND USING THE REGISTRY.
IN CMD:
FIRST YOU MUST KNOW THE NAME OF THE VIRUS. OPEN CMD,{WINDOWS KEY + R, THEN TYPE CMD} TYPE "ATTRIB -S" WITHOUT THE SPEECH MARKS. THE VIRUS WILL NOT BE ATTRIBUTED.
FOR EXAMPLE IF THE VIRUS IS CALLED RAILA THEN YOU WILL SEE..... COULD NOT ATTRIBUTE HIDDEN FILE C:/USERS/NAMEOFCOMPUTER/RAILA.EXE. NOW THAT YOU HAVE KNOWN ITS NAME WE HAVE TO REMOVE ALL ITS ATTRIBUTES SO THAT YOU CAN REMOVE THEM. TO DO THIS TYPE IN CMD "NAMEOFVIRUS.EXE -R - A -S -H.....NOW TYPE "DEL NAME OF VIRUS.EXE. NOW IF IT SAYS IT CANNOT DELETE FOLLOW THE VIRUS PATH THAT IS C:/NAME OF PC/VIRUS AND THEN GO TO FOLDER OPTIONS, VIEW AND THEN CLICK VIEW HIDDEN FILES AMD SHOW SYTEM FILES, CLICK APPLY THEN CLICK CANCEL.....NOTE DONT CLICK OK AFTER CLICKING APPLY, CLICK CANCEL, THE VIRUS SHOULD NOW BE VISIBLE, DELETE IT. NOW IF THAT METHOD DID NOT WORK WE GO THE REGESTRY. IF YOUR NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE REGESTRY YOU MIGHT DO SOME MISTAKE AND KILL YOUR PC. SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A COPY OF YOUR REGESTRY OR A SYSTEM ERROR RECOVERY DISK BEFORE MESSING WITH IT. NOW THAT YOU KNOW THE NAME OF THE VIRUS, RUN "REGEDIT" ON THE REGESTRY EDIT IT HAS A LIST OF ALL THAT GOES ON IN YOUR COMPUTER. NOW CLICK ON EDIT, THEN FIND, TYPE THE NAME OF THE VIRUS E.G RAILA.EXE. THE REGESTRY SHOULD OPEN FOR YOU ITS EXACT LOCATION. NOW DELETE THE VIRUS KEY. CLOSE THE REGISTER THEN OPEN TASK MANAGER CTRL+ALT+DEL IN XP, CTRL+SHIFT+ESC IN VISTA. GO TO PROCESSES. NOW END THE PROCESS TREE. GO TO THE VIRUS LOCATION AND IN USERS AND THEN DELETE IT. REMEMBER TO RETURN THE SYSTEM FILES BACK TO HIDDEN. NOW IF THE ABOVE METHOD DOESNT WORK OPEN YOUR PC IN SAFEMODE. RESTART THE PC THEN PRESS AND HOLD F8 BEFORE THE COMPUTER BOOTS. SELECT OPEN IN SAFEMODE. THEN OPEN AN ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT. NOW GO TO START/ALL PROGRAMMES/.SECURITY CENTER AND THEN CLICK ON PERFOM SYSTEM SEARCH. NOW DELETE THE VIRUS....SINCE YOU THE NAME. IF THOSE METHODS DONT WORK YOU CAN GET AN ANTIVIRUS....MAYBE BIT DEFENDER ITS A TLEAST TRUSTABLE. OR YOU CAN EMAIL ME AT "DENNYSMYCALL@OVI.COM" OR CALL ME IN MY CELL AT 254717217016...THANKS.
