The only guaranteed way to get rid of malware is to do a clean reinstall of windows. Copy any files you want to save to another hard drive and then do a fresh install of windows or whatever OS you are installing. This will erase everything on the hard drive you are installing windows in. After installing the OS get an Antivirus, I use ESET but you can always download Microsoft security essentials which is free for anybody who owns windows. Make sure it is from microsoft.com and not any other site so you don't download a fake Anti virus. Then scan the hard drive you backed your files in and delete any .exe files. If you don't want to be infected again, never install anything that that does not come from a well known legitimate site. Turn off Java or use Noscript plugin when visiting new sites. Once you get infected there is no way to make sure you got rid of everything. Most malware are designed to stay hidden and disable popular anti virus software. You have to assume that your computer is compromised and anything on it like passwords can be taken. After reinstalling change any passwords you may have used. | |

Noscript plugin for firefox is like a condom for the internet. It basically blocks all Javascript and only allows what you want to allow to run. As an added benefit is that it blocks most ads. Spybot search and destroy has a blacklist feature that blocks most unwanted malware from installing. Never had a problem with viruses or malware but I have dealt with it when fixing other people's computers. | |
