Have you ever think why virus is still in your computer even after scanning through it with anti-virus severally? Continue reading to find out why.
We all know
the kind of damage virus do to our important files/documents, and that is why
you learn how to remove virus from your computer. This method does not required
anti-virus, but we’re going to achieve this with command prompt using few line
of codes.
Don’t panic,
you’re not going to learn how to code, it is just a simple line of codes that I
will, then all you need is write them in your computer command prompt and
you’re good to go.
If though
you master how to remove virus from your computer using command prompt, it is
advice you still install anti-virus software and scan your operating system
once in a while. Doing this, you’re not just depending on one method.
Before I
take you down the steps, there certain things you need to understand, first,
we’ll scan to see if we can find any missing or hidden files.
In window
system, the C:/ drive does not met to have file such as .exe and .inf
And
C:\windows\system32 is not as well met to have hidden or read only files.
Example; S H R files
Now that we
know the kind of corrupted files making our operating system to have, we need
to find them using the “attrib” to check for the files in the above mentioned
places.
Step 1: open
your command prompt and type in “cd” just after system32>, then hit the
enter button on your keyboard, and a new line will automatically start, “C:\>”,
type in attrib and hit enter to see if you have “.exe” in C root.
Example;
C:\>cd
check he image below
I found
sscv.exe and auorun.inf that is not supposed be in “C” root. So next is to
delete them.
Step 2: from
the C:\>, type in attrib as you did initially, after typing in attrib, give
space and “–s –h –r –a –i autorun.inf” then click enter and type in “del
autorun.inf” and click the enter key for the very last time.
Now you’re
done deleting it, repeat same method with the sscv.exe file.
Let’s now
check the system32. As always, anytime you hit the enter key, new line will
automatically start, now type in “windows/cd system32" and click the enter key
as usual. Again type in attrib then press the enter key and countless amount of
files will pop up with their extension.
example;
C:\>windows/cd system32
Note: always
try to run the "attrib" command for like 3 – 4 times.
Check for
any file as S H R, if you find any; write them out as we’ll be deleting one
after the other. After you’ve written all the S H R files, type "attrib" “–s –h
–r –a –i atr.inf” and you type in the delete command on the next line.
Example;
“C:\>windows/system32/del atr.inf”
Press the
enter key and you’ve successfully deleted atr.inf file from system32. Now
delete all the S H R files you’ve taken down using same step. Cross check again
to see if there are still S H R files in the two directories.
