A PC virus contamination on your laptop is a genuine nuisance. Even for a laptop specialist, removing a virus from a PC can be a time consuming and annoying chore.

A number of viruses are designed to reinstall themselves even once they have been detected and eradicated. Some viruses write themselves into the registry of your PC, so these are loaded as soon as you boot your computer.

Of course you ought to keep your anti-virus software up to date. But still that is not always successful in preventing an infection - particularly if you frequent shareware or web sites containing adult content.

To remove a virus infection:

1.If you are running a Windows operating system, visit the Microsoft Update website and install the latest updates. This may detect and eradicate the virus.
2.Microsoft now have a ‘Malicious Software Removal Tool’. Type this into Google or Bing and follow the instructions.
3.Goto your anti-virus manufacturers website and download the latest updates. Then perform a scan of your computer.

I’ve tried this and it hasn’t worked!

Some viruses will in fact disable your anti-virus software. If you cannot access your anti-virus software program or you keep seeing the same malware pop up after the scan, you will almost certainly find that the virus has written itself into the registry.

Now this moves into advanced notebook virus removal. You need to be careful when rewriting the registry file because it tells Windows which programs to start up when when booting the operating system. Unless you are competent with computers you’re best leaving this to a virus removal professional.

So you are an expert!

OK, run your anti-virus program. If it will not run in Windows, reboot your computer in Safe Mode and run it from here. It will probably identify the virus even if it can’t overcome it. Note down the file names of all the viruses, malware, worms and any other dubious files it lists.

Now you may need a second computer for this, of course, but type those file names into Google or Bing one at a time. you will find that somebody out there on the World Wide Web has come upon these viruses and you’ll quickly determine which is the most malicious. Chances are this is your problem virus.

Now, you will in all probability find that someone has written very definite directions on how to wipe out this virus. If the source looks dependable, then by all means follow the instructions.

Otherwise, open up your registry file. Look for the details of your malicious virus - most likely in the boot file. This is the file you need to delete - But! Before you remove any files, make a backup copy of your Registry folder. Accidently deleting the wrong file may make it very tricky or even impossible to run your PC properly.

Delete any file connected with the virus or malware the list you made. Now reboot your notebook and run your antivirus software again. Hopefully nothing else will pop up and you have removed the virus.

If you still find problems with your computer - don’t panic! You’ve done your best. It’s now time to either take that PC down to a PC repair company or call a computer virus removal business.
