How to Remove Viruses From Your Computer

in this video I'm gonna be showing you how to remove any virus and not only remove it but do a better job than if you took it and paid a professional hundreds of dollars to fix your computer now having said all that there's one type of virus that still will cause problems if you have ransomware and it encrypted your files please note it will remove the ransomware virus but your files will still remain encrypted so that's the one virus that I am just scared to death of in a business or residential environment because you pretty much have to restore those files from backup or cough up the money to get them unencrypted now I've been removing viruses since the late 90s to early 2000s and I normally would carry around a massive toolset with a whole variety of programs to tackle any occasion however the game kind of changed several years back when Tron script came out it is a fantastic utility that people have put hundreds of hours in and basically makes it to where you don't need to actually pay professional to remove viruses anymore now you've seen all these other YouTube videos where they're like hey run malwarebytes or run this one program and it should fix it that is crap because there's so much that goes into taking viruses off and repairing a computer such as you need to remove all the temp files it'll make your runtimes far faster you need to deep low twin doze you need to remove all the viruses once they're removed you need to repair your system if it corrupted any system files that needs to be done and then it's just optimizing and cleaning up transcript does all of those things and it does it with a conglomeration of a whole bunch of utilities and programs it has over I think 20 or 30 different programs packaged into it you know the big names are there malwarebytes Sophos comes Persky it uses a whole variety of utilities to fix your computer in is just absolutely fantastic so with all that said let's get into actually removing it I'm gonna walk you through transcript just know I am speeding up an hour and a half process on this to about 6 minutes and I'm trying to detail each step it takes so you understand what's going on as far as user interaction once you hit run there almost is none there's only one portion of it that actually requires user interaction and that is to run the malwarebytes when it actually pops up on that side of the window everything else is completely automated and it is fantastic now it does take a very long time to run and I'll detail all that as we go okay to start off we're going to the Tron script Reddit and downloading it please note the sequence of operations it's gonna do is prep temp clean D blow disinfect repair patch and optimize and then does a wrap-up where it deletes anything it has downloaded during the scripts operation it is incredibly powerful and I'm gonna go through and run this and kind of tell you what each part is doing and when it does it so first we downloaded is a big download of roughly 600 Meg's you scroll down to the bottom here go ahead and click the link and then download the executable now I've already downloaded this so we don't have to wait so let's go ahead and launch the execute all and see what we get so we'll go ahead and open this say more information run anyway right now it's just extracting all the tools it needs okay with that extracted we can go ahead and close our browser out and then go into Tron from here read the instructions before just blatantly running a batch file so let's go ahead and open it up it goes ahead and summarize its usage summary command line use interrupting the script all these things so it will run for several hours especially if you've been using this computer for many years and it has a large hard drive it will take a long time to go ahead and scan all of this so just make sure that you do that so let's go ahead and go to the usage here and just look over it first things first it says make sure you install all the updates second copy the tron dot bat and the resource folder to the desktop of the target machine second tron can be run with windows either safe mode or regular it recommends regular for the first time third right click and run as administrator and then it says wait anywhere between three in ten hours this is important now for me this is gonna be in a slower virtual machine that has actually like 50 gigs so it's not gonna take anywhere near three hours but just know if you have a lot of storage it will literally take this long I had a six terabyte drive in three or four on my main machine when I ran it in my Windows instance and I remember it taking somewhere in the neighborhood of about five to six hours to complete on that just to give you an idea and I have a very powerful machine so it does take a long long time once it finishes you will need to reboot so with that let's go ahead and follow these guides and put these on our desktop so we'll go ahead and close those instructions out and we will simply cut these and paste them on to the desktop well right click run as administrator and then it says hey they are not responsible for any damage that happens from this script say I agree in all caps again it walks through all the steps here now notice you can add extensions on this let's say you only wanted to do a deep load or only a temp clean we're only a prep you can select only those by adding on to this and running it from command-line but for now we're just doing saying hey this computers completely messed up there's tons of viruses and I don't know much about scripting or anything like that this is the steps you need to follow so right here is stage one the prep it's disabling a lot of services creating a restore point it runs our kill to kill any external processes so it basically clears out most of task manager so it goes ahead and makes your system run a lot faster because there's not nearly as many processes running again right here is just simply backing up registry and other things just in case we have failure in the middle of this script run tdsskiller is an actual rootkit finder so it's probably looking for anything like that's attached to system processes all right stage zero is complete now it starts temporary file cleanup okay temporary file is completed and now it's deep loading the system removing any junk where alright stage two is complete with the deep bloat note that took about five to five minutes on a normal system it usually takes about ten minutes now the disinfection has begun now malwarebytes is being launched and ran you'll see it in the processes go through its motions I left the CPU task manager up just so you can kind of see what the system is doing on top of looking at the CMD now during this you see you must mainly click scan in the malwarebytes window and there it is it just popped up I'll go ahead close this and then we just simply hit scan now right now we're doing two things Kaspersky and malwarebytes are running at the same time so you get to see both of them in task manager running all right malwarebytes is complete all right Kaspersky is finished and now it's using going on to Sophos virus removal okay downloaded the viruses for Sophos and now it should do a complete scan using the silicon so stage three is complete now stage forced begun it goes ahead and cleans up any orphaned MSI files and then it does the D ASM service to actually fix windows so

this is probably the best way to fix Windows 10 as it does replace mini system files so if a virus infects and ruins a system file dism typically will go ahead and clean that up please note a lot of people think system file checker does this out of the hundreds of times I've used system file checker I probably only had one or two actually work so dism by far the best portion of the repair section of this and system file checker will run after this but it's kind of not needed in my opinion with dism done system file checker is firing off right now so it'll go ahead and verify the system files okay here is the completion report after it completes its wrap-up and everything it spits this out a couple things to note any warnings detected during the check disk it ran it will say here it says there's a smart read error and that typically means I probably should be looking at replacing this disk and then it also kind of tells you how much disk space you reclaimed now this was a pretty minimal 20 gig installed this ran on and it even reclaimed almost nine gigs on this super tiny windows 10 installations so that was transcript it is just a fantastic program I'm so lucky to have found this several years ago the times I've had viruses or run into them it has just done a great job so I hope this works for you if it doesn't let me know in the comments because I have yet to see something this thing didn't fix when it came to viruses now if you keep getting infected with viruses on Windows you might consider switching to Linux I made the switch last November and I have been very happy with my results and with that said I'll see you on the next video
