This video tutorial is about "How to Remove Malware/Malicious Software That Doesn’t Show Up in the Control Panel". This video will shows you, some steps that’ll help you remove malware that doesn’t show up in the Windows Control Panel.
As you use a computer, you get pretty adept at recognizing when things are not running quite right. When your computer becomes infected with malware, the symptoms to watch out for are easy to spot. Some of the most obvious are your entire computer or internet browser running slow, programs and sites taking longer to load and a slower start-up.
Mysterious pop-up that happen in-browser is another sign your computer may be infected. Many instances of malware will attach itself to your browser, specifically targeting Internet explorer, Firefox or Chrome. If you’ve gone from no pop-ups to several suddenly, chances are you have malware somewhere on your computer.
If you also notice Advertisements at odd places or a sudden change in your search engine or language preferences – this is another sign that something is messing with you browser.
Scan Your PC For Malware
After completing an antivirus scan, the next thing you should run is an anti-malware program. Keep in mind however that not all anti-malware scanners are created equal. Malwarebytes is considered one of the best options out there for identifying and removing malware and best of all it’s free. Otherwise, Spybot and Microsoft’s Malicious Software are great options.
Remember, a good anti-malware program should be able to detect and remove malware, scan your apps for malicious code, stop unauthorized access to your personal data and identify applications that may be tracking your location.
Inspect Suspicious Entries For Uninstall Files:
If the malware is still lingering on your PC after running antivirus and malware programs, a little more digging may be required. Malware is getting smarter everyday, with developers hiding it deep within your PC. This means you have to search your hard drive for the name of the malware and then delete it manually, or if it’s available, look for an “Uninstall” file in the malware’s folder and remove the malware that way.
