anti-virus software
Instructions
Step 1
To determine if a virus is on your computer, run an anti-virus program. As practice shows, it is best to use licensed software, since it is more reliable, it always updates the virus signature databases. When the program is loaded, enable scanning your computer for viruses. There are several ways to check. The first check is quick. When it is launched, the antivirus program will scan only those files that make up the risk group, that is, those programs that are most likely to be infected.
Step 2
The second type of verification is partial or selective. With this check, you can set yourself which files you want to check. And the last check is complete. This check analyzes all programs and files on your computer.
Step 3
Enable full scan. Antivirus software will indicate in real time which folders or files are infected. Now you need to clean your computer. As a rule, after detecting a virus, the program itself makes a request, offering to disinfect or delete the infected file. Click on "Disinfect" first. If it was not possible to get rid of the virus in this way, then click "Remove". In this case, the infected file will be deleted from the computer. It is better to lose one folder with it than to put the PC itself at risk.
Step 4
After cleaning your computer, check it regularly for viruses. Keep your antivirus software up to date. Then your computer will be reliably protected from malware. Try not to go to questionable pages on the Internet, as some viruses can still penetrate the system.
