What will you do if Malware attack your pc

Please share your experience (if any) if Malware attack your pc or laptop

 

Format the pc

 

Never happened this before, I will format my PC then

 

Format pc is what i do it is quicker then trying to repair files

 

Even if you format your hard drive, you should still do a virus/malware scan of the master boot record before installing a new OS.

 

The 2 times I had malware my norton did not prevent it from coming onto my PC and once on the PC Norton did not find it or fix it. The malware prevented access to any of the other virus sites as well. A reformat was needed. I backup my PC every weekend just to be safe. I also have a backup PC available so no loss in business.

Needless to say I no longer use norton as the malware should ahve not been able to get through with it.

 

I know it is hard for most people to understand that they have to look for a antivirus/malware program that will scan the master boot record prior to installing a new opperating system and other software. There are a lot of bad viruses that will write to the MBR in such a way that it will not be removed even with a normal reformat of the hard drive.

 

There is software out for them type viruses

 

I have best antivirus solution.if it is come it displays alert message and automatically clean to that malewares.

 

I will try to remove through best antivirus otherwise last option i will try, Format PC

 

Format and install a good antivirus like McAfee or Bit-defender so that it doesn't happens again.

backup important data then re-install my windows

 

I will format it and then install Kaspersky again.

 

If I have the latest virus definitions installed for my ESET Smart Security, then I see no reason in a malware affecting my pc severely, to the affect that I would need to format the pc.

Even if it does I would first try system restore or boot in safe mood and other similar options.

 

It all depends on the form of malware, some are used to steal your info others destroy data, but it truley depnends, if you think your infected though check out my service

the better option is to restore the system.
there are several process to keep the malware away from your pc
1. always have good antivirus with latest updates.
2. always press shift key when you attach any pendrive so that it cant be autorun always viruses come from usb

 

That doesn't always work because some viruses can still transfer
