I think I've got a virus on my laptop, and I really cba deleting it manually. I can remember when I got one on my old computer I just sent my computers memory back in time a few weeks, but I've forgot how I done that now. So does anyone know how to do it? Or know what it's called?

[Jordan.]

System Restore?

If you're on Vista or Windows 7 type it in on the search bar it should find it.

[Lee.]

System restore.. Go into control panel

[Vicky.]

I used system restore once to get rid of some trojan I had a while back and it didnt work...doesnt work for everything.

Depending on what the virus is, it might be safer to mess around and do it properly :/

But system restore is so much easier


Don't even know where I have got this virus from, I've only been on about 3 sites in the last few days. And loads of others keep tryna get me aswell, keep getting notifications off my firewall every 15 mins or so.

It might work, probably will...

Its only happened once that sstem restore didnt work, but that was for a really horrible trojan. I ended up having to actually take my computer to get fixed from that...it shut my computer down whenever I opened my anti virus

System restore will only remove the symptoms of a virus if the file(s) that have been infected has been altered according to the restore records. It doesnt remove viruses so the virus could still be on the computer waiting to be reactivated.

When using system restore it can also remove other programs settings and installations you have installed or changed since the restore you use

You are better off using either malwarebytes or Trend housecall to remotely remove it.

Right.

I put system restore on, went to bed, 3 hours later it was still running so I just cancelled it. The virus thing is Antimalware Doctor, which tried to trick me a few times into thinking it was trying to stop a virus. Luckily I am very smart.

Anyway, I searched on Google and all the recommended ways on there haven't worked, so I've downloaded some Stopzilla thing.

Anti-Malware Doctor sounds familiar...might've had that one before. Can't remember how I got rid of it though, sorry

[Smithy]

Can't be that smart if you got the virus in the first place D;

Use Malwarebytes thats the best free virus remover thing

[Locke.]

I didn't get this virus some silly person must have been on my laptop while I was at work. That's the only explanation

Use the task manager to cancel the virus processes if its running then run malwarebytes.
