The most dangerous type of viruses are banners that block access to individual programs or the operating system as a whole. Fortunately, getting rid of such viruses is much easier than it might seem at first glance.
Necessary
- access to the Internet
- Dr. Web CureIt
Instructions
Step 1
It's worth starting with the easiest method: coding. Or rather, not a selection, but a search for the desired combination. Open your browser and follow the link https://www.drweb.com/unlocker/index. Enter the phone number to which the cybercriminals offer to send sms in a special field and click the "Find Code" button
Step 2
If the system did not give you a single code, then carefully study the photos of famous banners, find your version among them and click on it with the left button. Enter the received codes in turn in the banner field.
Step 3
If this resource did not help you, then do similar operations on the Kaspersky Anti-Virus website
Step 4
There are situations when this banner has not been previously studied by specialists. In such cases, it must be removed manually. Open Control Panel from the Start Menu. Go to Add or Remove Programs. Find suspicious programs and uninstall them. Most often they are associated with Flash applications.
Step 5
If you have detected a malicious program there, then find the necessary files yourself. Open the system32 folder located in the Windows directory. Click "Sort by Type" in the file display settings. Find all files with dll extension. Remove those with names ending in lib, for example: pgqlib.dll, asxlib.dll and others.
Step 6
Examine the contents of the folder where your browser saves files. Find the file with the name, go to uploader.exe. Delete it to prevent the banner from reappearing.
Step 7
If you are too lazy to do an independent search, then follow the link https://freedrweb.com/. Download and install the Dr. Web CureIt program. Scan your hard drives with it. Restart your computer after deleting the malicious files.
