On a computer, various viruses often appear that enter the system through the Internet or portable information media. How can you find and remove a virus on your computer?
Instructions
Step 1
To remove the sality virus from your computer, you need to use special antivirus software. There is a wide range of programs in this category on the Internet. Choose at your own discretion. You can read reviews about this or that program. Install to the system local drive. A shortcut will appear on the desktop with which you can launch the program.
Step 2
If the virus does not allow you to install new software, then you need to act by other methods. Try to boot your personal computer in safe mode. In this case, all programs that are at startup will be completely disabled. You need to use an administrator account so that all operations are available to you without restrictions.
Step 3
Almost all viruses hide in the registry. At the same time, they can disguise themselves as various processes that work in automatic mode and have access to startup. Click Start. Then click "Run" and enter the regedit command. Follow the path REG DELETE HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem / v DisableRegistryTools / f and check all branches. Remove those that are not related to programs and system processes. When blocking, you will have to use the "Task Manager".
Step 4
Open Task Manager with Ctrl + Alt + Dlt. Click the Processes tab. Completely go through the list and remove any that you did not run or did not install on your computer at all. If this option is automatically blocked for you, then the virus blocks all operations in order to prevent itself from being caught on the computer.
Step 5
In this case, you need to burn a copy of the antivirus to a CD. Download or copy the nod32.exe file and all other files from the folder to the disk from the installation disk from the Internet. Before that, change the file nod32.exe to nod1132.exe so that the virus cannot recognize and block the data it is familiar with. Run the file and run a full system scan. As a rule, the sality virus infects files on your computer at a fast rate, so you will have to delete them in order to completely erase the virus and its copies from the hard disk. Restart your computer after checking.
