[TUT] How To Remove Viruses

[Proxybypass]

Ok, so this is MY basic method of removing a virus.

First- Download MBAM: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

That is a great virus removal program.

Then use eset online scanner, MUST be used with I.Explorer.

This wouldn't remove a virus if it is FUD. This would scan your computer for known signatures of viruses.

The best way to remove a virus is regedit knowledge and startup.. you just remove it from there. Restart pc. Remove the .exe. Done.

Unfortunately, as said by the poster above, this only removes normal viruses that have not been crypted. FUD viruses cannot be detected using an Anti-Virus.

Malwarebytes' and ESET Online Scanner aren't the only things for removing viruses, and they won't always find everything.

Tell them to use CCleaner on Registry and Temp Files first before going to MBAM and ESET?

RE: How to remove a virus.

I use MBAM, before CCleaner. MBAM gets the big things, which prevents the little things from expanding.

The MBAM and ESET works pretty good in my experience. I've had to use them twice and they worked both times.

I use all of these for malware and still have it, security suite or something so I just hibernate my laptop all the time.

If you have an AV then this is not needed

Huh?

If you're talking about Malwarebytes', HijackThis, etc., I'm sorry, but you're completely wrong. Just because you have an anti-virus, doesn't mean you're always going to be safe.

RE: How to remove a virus.

MBAM and other automatic scanners can't possibly remove all infections, most of the time.

As they only do the scans of viruses in their databases, they usually won't fix broken keys, hijacked dlls/exes, or Internet Browser settings, such as proxy settings. This is why most of the time after a user is infected with a Rogue AV, they can't use their internet because their proxy settings were mingled with by a virus. MBAM can remove the virus itself usually, but not always the damages that it leaves.

HJT isn't the best program for secondary scanning, and you shouldn't be giving advice on logs if you don't know how to.

Other scanners such as OTL, another manual removal, but far more complex than HJT is a good scanning program that will give a more in-detail report of the system, the drives, the user, the programs, modified files, etc.
