• How to remove the virus boostspeed.exe

  How to remove the virus boostspeed.exe

  Hi Laurence,.

  As far as I KNOW, you're talking about Auslogics Bootspeed, and it is a program (even if some consider how he acts and what he does to be very similar to how the system will react as if he was infected).  For technical support, see: http://www.auslogics.com/en/support/.

  If it's this product, there seems to be any special product online removal process (but perhaps custom support can help). If it isn't this product or there is nothing like it on your system, then why do you assume that it is a virus - are guessing you or some AV programs, told you that (and if so, which) and how locate you the file name as being the problem?  What is the full path to the file (for example, C:\Program Auslogics... or other)?    What security software you have installed (all names and the exact version of each)?  What version of Windows are you using?  Indeed, please see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 for ideas on other information that will help us.  The more we know, the better we can help and the more focused we can make recommendations.

  I would try the following: start by creating a system restore point, and then back up the registry as well (just to be on the safe side).

  Download the free Revo: http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html and use it in advanced mode to completely remove Auslogics Bootspeed.  If it does not work because it says it is running (which is possible if there is probably not), then start safe mode and try again to remove use Revo in Mode safe.  The chances of success are much higher now that it is not likely to be running in Mode safe.

  I hope this helps.  Please get back to us in all cases, and if it haunts you again, please answer these questions as well as what happened when you tried to remove it as suggested.  On this basis, we will have a better idea if we treat just a difficult program to remove or legitimate an infection of any (or possibly both) and take the necessary measures from there - but we need to learn more and to see if the simple answer works (or why it failed).  We desperately need your help here (provision of information) to be able to help (with recommendations and options and courses of action - or more questions).

  Thanks and good luck!

• How to remove the virus once safty scan

  How to remove the virus once safty scan

  Hello

  You do not say what program you use

  There should be an option in any security program you are using to delete, remove, clean or quarantine (depending on how it is formulated).

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  If by other means, you have download and installed a fake security program, which is in fact malware. follow these steps:

  Scan of Malware in Safe Mode with network.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-Windows-in-safe-mode/#winxo

  Windows XP

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the machine starts first, yet once it will list usually some equipment that is installed on your machine, amount of memory, hard drives installed etc. At this point you should tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a menu of Advanced Options in Windows XP.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking option using the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start safe mode.
  5. Make all the necessary tasks and when finished restart to start in normal mode.

  Once in Safe Mode with network, download and run RKill.

  RKill does NOT remove the malware; It stops the Malware process that gives you a chance to remove it with your security programs.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/rkill/

  Then, download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware in Mode safe mode with networking:

  See you soon.

• How to remove the virus $Recycle.Bin

  In all readers (C, E and F) of my computer, there are two records of naming $Recycle.Bin and System Volume Information.due their computer also changed my settings I can't automatically remove these folders.even my anti virus unable to detect it.

  I use windows 8 and my antivirus is TREND MICRO MAXIMUM SECURITY.

  Please help how to remove this virus?

  You have enabled hidden files to see them in the first place. $Recycle.Bin contains the deleted files from the drive until you empty the Recycle Bin and System Volume information is good, information on the volume, including system restore points.

  If you don't want to see them, disable the visualization of the system files / hidden.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Do you use your Antivirus software? You should do!
  It s irresponsible to use the computer and use the internet without Antivirus software.

  In my view, a new Antivirus program is updated should be able to remove this virus.
  If this is not the case, check on the pages of Antivirus software if all guidelines are available.

  If you don't find anything, the last resort should a new installation of OS and HARD drive format

  Hello

  I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

  Try to scan your computer for the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: When performing analysis on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when the parser attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  To get information about PANDA security I suggest that refer you to the link below.

• How to remove a virus if your antivirus software does not identify it?

  I'm not dealing with this problem, but I want to just develop my abilities if in fact I this meeting at a later date.  So, how would someone go about removing a virus if they had run programs such as the anti-virus scanning, scan malwarebytes, windows defender and removal of malware without identification tool.

  Thanks to all those who respond.

  AntiVirus software contain something detecting threats based on their behavior. If an unknown application trying to damage your system such as unknown viruses, so they detect it by his actions and put in quarantine and then sends a report to the Malware Research Center and there they will check the file Virus to see if it is a Virus or not, if it is then they will apply tools of abduction during the update and if it's NOT virus they patch update in order to release it.

  In some cases of Virus may not detect at all, in this case you must contact the anti-virus company support team and ask them for help and they will help you and guide you what you should do.

  Almost all anti-virus companies have a way as form or e-mail you can submit samples of the Virus that can not detect by they anti-virus and they will analyze samples and give updated based on analyze.

  For Microsoft, you could provide a sample to:

  https://www.Microsoft.com/security/portal/submission/submit.aspx

  I recommend you who still do not know the support link or by phone of your anti-virus (anti-virus company) that you have.
