Getting started:
To get started, turn on the infected computer and immediately begin pressing F8 key on your keyboard.
When you see the screen below, select ‘Safe Mode with Networking’

Then type the administrator’s password to login.

Next, open your web browser to go to www.malwarebytes.org to download their free Anti-Malware program.

Now, you need to be careful before you download the wrong thing. You may be sent to one of two places to download the program.
One is cnet.download.com. On their page, click ‘Download Now’

When prompted, click ‘Run’ . If you don’t see ‘Run’ make sure that your browser is not blocking the file from being downloaded. You may see a yellow warning right below the address box prompting whether to allow the download. Right-click it and select ‘Download File’

Continue to click ‘Next’ until you see ‘Install’

After installing, click ‘Finish’

Anti-Malware Bytes will automatically start and begin to update itself. When done select ‘ Perform full scan’

Select the drives to scan and click ‘Scan’

After scanning for few minutes/ hours depending how big is your hard disk, you’ll be prompted to remove select items. Do it and close out and restart your computer normally.

That’s all to it. Enjoy your virus-free computer.
