It is impossible for me to believe that there is all the world at least one Windows user who did not have in his life of computerist computerist problems with viruses. Rather, I inclined to believe that most of these users (including myself, several times) have repeatedly acquired some infections so indeed (for those who jumped over the introduction phrase, it is about Infecting a PC with malware : P) that they were hardly left "sent for a walk" (it is usually Viruses that change the mode of behavior of the operating system or which prevent the antivirus installed to work normally, this being unable to detect the dangers). For these users – And for those who will trace them - the simplest solution to get rid of stubborn viruses is booting Windows in Safe Mode (mode in which Windows runs only Essential processes for system functioning, thus preventing the launch malware processes) and the use of a portable antivirus to make cleaning in the system.
Cum bootam Windowsul in Safe Mode?
If you are the owner of an operating system Windows XP and you have some problems with Ulysses and (especially with) his horse, to boot Windows in Safe Mode follow the steps below:
- Open Run (Win+R or from Start Menu) if you taste msconfig Then give Enter
- in tab-ul Boot check /SAFEBOOT and select MINIMAL
- OK, then give restart
- The welcome screen should look like this:
If you are still struggling with a Vista or you managed to put your hand on a Windows 7, you can convince the system to boot in Safe Mode Also from msconfig (which you can open from Search-ul FROM Start Menu). Then in the tab Boot, tick Safe Mode and select Minimal, after which obviously, give Restart (if you have installed two Windows systems in dual-boot And you want to Boot in Safe Mode the secondary OS, before giving restart, also in msconfig, click on Set as default).
Why is it important to use a portable antivirus to clean your virus computer?
First of all, because, as I said at the beginning of the article, some viruses have a habit of "shaking wheels" installed antivirus, so that it can no longer detect them or, worse, can no longer work. Secondly because In Safe Mode on Windows, no program can be installed. It follows that a portable antivirus, which does not change anything in the system, is ideal.
Which portable antivirus to use to clean our computer in Safe Mode
Well, any portable antivirus you want. Close Each antivirus program also has a portable version, so you have to choose from. But if you want to go on our hand, we recommend (we do not guarantee that it is the most effective in all major cases of virus) SUPERAntiSpyware – link the download and details about it you can find here (Before using this antivirus in Safe Mode, it is good to Make the database updates and virus definitions in normal mode). Or Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, which - surprisingly or not - does its job well.
Note: Windows boot in Safe Mode can be done by pressing the F8 key when starting the system, but considering that there are enough chances to miss the moment (and in some cases you have no idea when it is), we recommend the use of MSConfig to achieve this.
