Virus Removal

1) Disconnect from the Internet Immediately disconnect your device from Wi-Fi or unplug the Ethernet cable. This stops the virus from spreading or sending out personal data.
2)Enter Safe Mode Restart your computer in Safe Mode to prevent most malware from running. In Safe Mode, only essential system programs start up, making it easier to remove the virus.
3) Run a Full Antivirus Scan Use a trusted and updated antivirus or anti-malware program (e.g., Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, Avast). Perform a full system scan to detect and isolate malicious files.
4) Remove or Quarantine Infected Files Follow your antivirus program’s instructions to delete or quarantine the infected files. Quarantining moves them to a secure location so they can’t harm your system.
5)Clear Temporary Files Use tools like Disk Cleanup (Windows) or a third-party cleaner (e.g., CCleaner) to delete temp files. This may remove hidden malware and speed up scanning.
6) Update Your System and Software Install all available operating system updates and software patches. Updates often fix security vulnerabilities that viruses exploit.
7) Change Passwords After cleaning the system, change passwords for your email, social media, banking, and other important accounts—especially if you suspect they were compromised.
