How to Remove Malware Manually
- 1). Locate the malware on your computer by running a scan using the antivirus software that came with your computer. If you don't have antivirus software, go to a website such as Panda Security where you can run a malware scan for free.
- 2). Click Run Full Scan. If the website prompts you to run Active-X, click Yes to allow.
- 3). Wait for the scan to run. This may take up to an hour and will identify any malware for free but will not remove it.
- 4). When the scan finishes, it will show you any malware infecting your system. Open a word-processing program and type the exact name and location of the malware exactly as the scan lists it.
- 5). To assist you in quickly deleting the malware files, go to the Killbox website and click download Killbox. After a pop-up menu prompts you to choose Run or Save, select Save.
- 6). After the Save As menu appears, click Desktop on the left side and select Save. Go to your computer's desktop, double-click the Killbox icon and select Run when prompted.
- 7). Select the Delete on Reboot option on the left side of the menu. Make sure to click the All Files option on the right side.
- 8). Go to the word-processing program that you typed your malware file information in, click Edit and Select All. Select Edit again and click Copy.
- 9). Return to the Killbox, click File and then Paste from Clipboard. Select the Delete button (the red-and-white X located at the right); wait for your computer to restart and then the malware will be gone.
