Handy guide for Dummies to solve all virus problems
by Bharat on Apr.07, 2009, under Tech
Well, its a common problem for most people. Although i use my PC without any anti virus and never been lucky to be struck by virus even after downloading gigs of stuff from Rapidshare to Torrents. But, those of you who feel lucky enough to struck by virus multiple times and then asking for help, here is the solution. This is a general steps that you can follow and it would 99% of the time solve your Virus problem. So lets start it :
Step 1 : First of you should know that your Pc is struck by virus. For that, you need to use your common sense and look for signs like Pc slowing down, task manager blocked etc. Once you know that your PC is infected with virus, then follow step 2.
Step 2: The first thing you need to do is scan your PC for viruses using some good anti virus. I would recommend Kaspersky or NOD 32 or use both of them(just for scan). First install the AV of your choice and update it(this is imp). Even if you don’t have the full version don’t waste time looking for one. Just install the Free Trial version, which itself is valid for 30 days. Now, i would also recommend here to go to safe mode or admin account before scanning your PC.
Step 3: I hope that after an hour of scanning and all your computer has no virus but that’s the easy part. Now the after effects of this thing is may result in things like “task manager not opening in windows“. To solve this problem just follow these simple steps
Click Start, Run and type this command exactly as given below:
REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Once your PC task manger is running you can open the process tab to see that there are no extra processes running under the “USER” and not under “ADMIN”. Some process like svchosts are used by windows and viruses both. You can distinguish virus by looking at the USER. If user is SYSTEM than its ok and if its your “PC_USERNAME” than its a virus. So at this step you can just cross check if you are actually virus free. If you cant distinguish b/w normal system process and other unwanted process than i would recommend you taking a screenshot of your PC process tab when its running alright that can be used to comparison.
Step 4: Another common problem is that the “drive shows open with” when double clicked. You can open it using explorer but it still wont work, every time you will have to use open with and that unacceptable. To solve that
1. Open Start>>Run and type cmd and press enter. This will open a command prompt window. On this command prompt window type the following steps.
2. type cd\
3. type attrib -r -h -s autorun.inf
4. type del autorun.inf
if you have a d drive:
5. now type d: and press enter for d: drive partition. Now repeat steps 3 and 4. Similarly repeat step5 for all your hard disk partition.
6. If nothing works try the following link.
Step 5: Sometimes you may also find that your “Folder option is missing“. For that follow the following steps.
- open START>>RUN>>regedit. Navigate to -
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
set the DWORD “NoFolderOptions” to 0 or just delete it.
Step 6: Thats all folks. Your Pc is ready and roaring to go. Use it the way you like it.
I hope this guide helps you to solve your probelm. If it doesn’t or you have any other virus problem than feel free to ask me in comments box.
