TIP#1: How to scan your computer for virus using CMD prompt
- Go to start
- Write on the search box Run
- Type under run CMD
- Now type 'attrib' and hit enter
- You would see some files of your main directory i.e root director, now if you see any file named as 'AUTORUN.INF or.EXE ' that means your computer is having virus or malware.
- type 'attrib -s-h-r AUTORUN.INF or.EXE' whichever you are having, by doing this the attribute related to autorun.inf file will be deleted.
- Now again type attrib to see that the autorun.inf file is not having any attributes that means just check besides the name of autorun, there should be no words as SHR, if it is then you have to do it again.
- Now the attributes are removed, to delete the virus type 'del autorun.inf'
- If it comes back again and again, after deleting then open the task manager by pressing ctlr+alt+del then choose task manager from it.
- Open the processes tab and manually end the autorun process
- Now go back to your CMD Prompt and now delete the autorun.inf
DONE!
You have sucessfully deleted the virus
Note: IT IS NOT A REPLACEMENT OPTION FOR AN ANTIVIRUS.You must install one.
