How to Remove a Virus
By Internet Handholding @ 1:05 AM :: 1083 Views :: 0 Comments :: Article Rating :: Windows
 
If you are tricked into installing a virus, you can restore your computer to how it was before the infection.

Windows has a feature called System Restore that saves and restores your computer's system settings.

To get into System Restore, go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore.

When your computer is not infected with a virus, you should occassionally create a restore point yourself.

In System Restore, select Create a Restore point, click Next and save your current settings.

Windows by default automatically creates restore points before installing Windows updates, so you should have some other restore points already set.

If your computer becomes infected with a virus, go into System Restore and select Restore My Computer From an Earlier Time.

Pick the most recent restore point before your computer was infected.

Run System Restore and the virus should be gone.

Run Windows Update after running System Restore to make sure your computer is up-to-date. You can find Windows Update under Start, All Programs.
