I have a rootkit on my computer and I had to reinstall my Windows 7.

I have a rootkit on my computer and I had to reinstall my Windows 7. Is it safe to download it on the same PC - as in, can I start my current Windows normally and move forward? In addition, my Windows 7 Home Premium came with my laptop, I have a product key. How can I re - get the ISO file?

Hi StethoscopeJan,

I suggest that you want to run virus scan in safe mode with network.

 

Step 1

Start your computer in safe mode

Note: When the boot advanced options select Safe mode with network.

Step 2

Run Microsoft Online Scanner.

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.

Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
