How to remove a Computer Virus

Dear Friends,

If your computer is infected with a virus, you'll want to remove ASAP. A fast way to check for viruses is to use an online scanner, such as the Microsoft Safety Scanner. The scanner is a free online service that helps you identify and remove viruses, clean up your hard disk, and generally improve your computer's performance.

If you're not sure whether your computer has a virus, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows7/how-can-i-tell-if-my-computer-has-a-virus to check for some telltale signs.

If you can connect to the Internet

If you can reach a website using your web browser, run an online scan.

To run the Microsoft Safety Scanner

1. Go to the Microsoft Safety Scanner webpage to download the scanner.
2. Click Download Now, and then follow the instructions on the screen.

 If you can't connect to the Internet

If you can't get to the Microsoft Safety Scanner online, try restarting your computer in safe mode with networking enabled.

To restart in Safe Mode with networking enabled

1. Restart your computer.
2. When you see the computer manufacturer's logo, press and hold the F8 key.
3. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode with Networking, and then press Enter.
4. Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights.
5. Follow the steps above to run the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

If you still can't access the Internet after restarting in safe mode, try resetting your Internet Explorer proxy settings.
