How To Remove Virus Without Using Antivirus Program

thanks !!!!!!!

I noticed that in each folder I have an .exe file with the name of the folder. Example: I have a folder called Downloads, inside it, there is a folder shape called download.exe. It is repeated in all folders.Using this method i could remove that virus. thank you very much

it was what i search here

thanks .

great solution!
thanks !

and I assume many other people, unhid and unsystemed every file on my C: drive I would have absolutly no Idea what 500 of the exe files on there would do. So how would I weed out the bad from the good?

..and slow down with some more explanations. I would never have known to look at .inf files.

I'll be looking for more your stuff.

really now they know that way , why dont they creat a new kind of virus .... and what is the name of all the viruses so i can use your way ....thanks

i'm trying to use this method on my C:/ drive but i'm not sure if what im looking at is a virus or not. What i see is ntuser.dat, ntuser.dat.log, and ntuser.ini. and those are the only three that don't have the <DIR> next to them. Is it ok to delete these and are they viruses?

Thanks for the tips

thanks dude

This vdo tutorial was very helpful.
Please be more specific for researcher with less computer knowledge. I know exactly what U were talking about, but i am sure for lot of people it was like, HMMMMMM.
Over all this is a GR8 effort

good post, keep it

VERY GOOD THANK YOU

Thank you for sharing your useful idea but the problem with your video in the background, is that the writing caracters are far too small to read and though to follow with your explation. Your video quality need to be clearer and bigger (in terms of letters in the background). Otherwise, you did a great job!

I appreciate your video. It helped me. Thanks to you

Is virus limited to only named as autorun.inf

Any kind of other infected hidden files other than this?
Thanks for the video, i still worry whether my drive contains virus or not...lol

The main purpose of antivirus is to DETECT and after disinfect the virus. If you are computer professional this video is just useless. If you are usual user, better go to professional and use antivirus.

there it any .exe or .inf files but u still have bad stuff thats making the com run bad!!

If you aren't sure if a file is good or bad just google it and look at the results pages. Research!

This is barely a solution to anything much less removing a virus.

You can do the same thing by right-clicking on "J:" and selecting "Open" instead of double clicking on it causing it to use the autorun (typical default action).

Real viruses and trojans are much harder to dig out than just finding a suspicious file and deleting it. Do you know what a suspicious file looks like? Do you know what files are supposed to be on your system and what aren't?

Just get AVG or one of the other ones and let it do it's job and don't risk screwing up your computer by deleting stuff you shouldn't.

I tried it and it shut off my Internet connec tivity... Gave me hours of guilt and stuff... so i rated it 2/5.
P.S. I did exactly what you said.

keep it

As a professional who repairs hardware and software problems everyday, I can honeslty tell you that a large number of my customers are do-it-yourselfers who tried something because a video like this made it look easy. If you are going to attempt this I advise you be very careful! If you think you could screw something up, you can, and probably will. BE CAREFUL!

when I run the attrib command it give me an access denied error..and a file sometimes..sometimes not: what's that about?

are you from around here?

Do you know what the problem is?
The problem is, you know what your doing.

And we dont!

it was a great video but i cannot use this method because my command prompt isn't accessible. do you know how to fix it?

after following these insructions note pad swowed up and i found eviedence of a romote desk top .I think there s suff embeded in video aswell

Hmm... Good video for those who don't know anything about computers, which leads me to my next statement.

Why buy a computer if you don't bother to learn how to use it properly? It'd be like buying a car and not knowing how to drive it or perform basic maintenance.

All us tech support types would LOVE there to be some sort of test that people have to take before being able to purchase a computer.

To non-techs, this seems like an a-hole thing to say. I say to you, go work in a tech support call center for a week, if you last that long, congratulations, you are a rare breed of person.

You do realize that some of the uneducated people who use this site just might try this and inadverently delete necessary system and command functions from there computers. WAY TO GO STUPID!!

The best defence against virus's is a good antivirus program, (at least it will know what to look for). Considering the fact that thousands of dimwhitted antisocial weirdos write compile and distribute thousands of virus's every day using your " system"/ you would be at your keyboard 48 hrs a day (an theres only 24 in a day) trying to find and delete all of them.
