You wake up one morning, having just suffered one of the worst nightmares of your life. Your computer got infected with a virus, and you lost everything on it. Oh well. It was just a dream. You go over and turn on your computer. An error message pops up. It seems that your nightmare is replaying itself out right in front of your eyes on your computer. But, unlike your nightmare, there is hope to clean it up. You could reinstall your hard drive, but you don't really want to. You could try to clean it up manually, but that doesn't always work.
Also, if you try to just pick out the virus, you will often do more damage to your computer than already has been done. Therefore, you should only use this method if you are one hundred percent sure of exactly what you are doing.
If you look up your problem online, you will have to know the answer to a few questions. Here are three of them: 1. What is the problem exactly 2. When did the problem start? 3. How did it start?
If you are trying to self diagnose the problem online, you will need to identify when, where, and possibly how the problem started. If you are able to do that, your problem is well on the road to being solved.
You shouldn't use a computer that has a virus online. Use a different computer to do the research you need. You could pick up additional viruses, compounding your problems. Make sure the other computer you use online has a good anti virus program on it, otherwise you are going to be in real duck soup.
If you are going to manually remove the virus, you will have to go into the registry of the computer and delete every file that is infected. You will need to be very careful that you don't delete something of great importance in this process.
If you are brave, take your other computer that has an external hard drive and place the infected hard drive into the good computer. Only do this if you have a really good anti virus program on your computer. This should help you pinpoint all the problems on your hard drive.
Be forewarned, this is a really good way to share a virus. Make sure you have a high quality virus protection, and that it has been recently updated.
