Simple and easiest way to detect & remove virus from your PC

Hi Friends

Step 1- Check on to the system System Configuration Utility "msconfig.exe"
Press  +R and type
 

System Configuration Utility will open now select startup tab
Go and find if there is any startup item name with garbage character or
check if there is any unknown manufacturer is there if found then check the location of that if it contains
path like C:\users\username\App Data\  or C:\documents and settings\ then please disable it. It is definitely a virus or malicious program because C:\user\username or C:\documents and settings always keep users settings, and program settings for special uset but it doesn't keep program settings and machine settings.

Step 2 - Check on to the AppData\Roaming Folder

Press  +R and type
Press Alt+T now you will see "Folder Options" just under the  Tools Menu

Un-tick Hide protected operating system siles (Recommended)

Go and find that in the Roaming directory there should not be any .exe file or .dll file & Please make sure don't goto sub directory only in Roaming directory.
If found delete it.

Step-3 If you are new for using registry please take a backup of registry by using this option

Check one more path
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Check the same option
It should be like that


Step-4 Just insert your PD into your computer and if it show any different icon. like folder icon or any other then it might have infected with virus.
