Sometimes the whole process of trying to understand what virus is disturbing your computer system becomes a bit tedious. This is when you are most likely to prefer the option of merely deleting the entire bug and be done with it.

The first bit of advice is that when you suspect that your computer has been infected, is to turn it off immediately. This will reduce the amount of damage that it can do to your files as well as the operating system itself.

Remember that the virus thrives on functional and fully operating computers. You should only turn your computer back on when you have all the necessary tools to delete the virus.

Taking control of your system once again

It is important that you do not switch on your operating system because this is what the virus uses to do its dirty work. Whenever the OS is off, the virus is essentially trapped because it cannot carry out the processes that it was programmed to do.

Freezing the virus in this way will give you the opportunity to delete it.

The best approach so far, is using an operating system that runs on a CD or DVD or even a USB disk. A case in point is the Kaspersky Rescue Disk, which allows you to get rid of the virus without triggering your own operating system.

Download the software and follow the prompts to install it. Normally, this is a very direct process that does not require you to go through a lot of technical details. On the other hand, you have to make sure that you only download the software from a trusted site, otherwise you could fall victim to yet another viral infection. There are many viruses that are designed to disguise themselves as helpers.

The disk will typically contain programming that allows it to run on its own system, whilst simultaneously deleting the virus. The information that has been written on the disk will be loaded onto your RAM, so that it can begin its work.

Scanning the system

In order to delete the virus, it must first be found. This means that the recovery disk that you are using will start to scan the system, if you click on the right prompts to give it the necessary permissions. You will be given a chance to look at the problematic files that were detected and also the option to allow for them to be deleted.

Once you click to allow the permission, the disk will delete them. You can then remove the disk and restart your computer.

Precautions for the future

Just in case you get attacked again, it is a good idea to buy a very good antivirus program from a reputable provider  You also need to ensure that it is up to date. Moreover, you should retain your recovery disk, so that you can reuse it again if another infection attacks your computer.

Do not visit websites that your antivirus program is suspicious about or ones which are known to generate viruses. Do not open spam emails from people you do not know or ones that look like they might contain bugs.
