Checklist for Virus/Spyware Removal
Here are the top to notch lists if your computer is seen with virus or spyware.
1. Back up the system on a separate storage device (an external harddrive will do)
2. With the infected PC, start into Safe mode with Networking, as some viruses can only be removed in safe mode. To perform this, restart pc and wait until the manufacturer's logo is displayed, then press F8 continuously until Advanced Boot Options window will come out.
3. Turn off System Restore by going to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.
4. Go to Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel to uninstall any unwanted/unverified software and other applications that you think is suspected.
5. Install a licensed antivirus software, run then update it on the suspected pc.
6. Install Spybot search and destroy or Superantispyware into the infected pc, run then update. You can use softwares like Spysweeper from Webroot Software, Microsoft Anti-spyware, eTrustPest Control, or Ad-aware from Lavasoft. Make sure to run and update them on the infected system.
7. Make sure you are connected to net while performing these steps. If you cannot go to internet, run LSPfix (a free utility from cexx.org) to repair Winsock 2 settings. Perform another using your licensed software.
8. Turn on system restore.
9. Download all critical or windows update.
10. Disable unnecessary startup items from Start > Run > type msconfig > Startup tab > then uncheck the items that needs no running everytime the pc starts. All items that doesn't start with C:\windows or C:\ProgramFiles or the licensed antivirus, uncheck them. Unchecking them somehow will make the computer faster in booting up.
11. Run disk clean up and diskdefrag from Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools
12. Back up the system again and destroy the previous backup since the first system backup is infected with virus.
