How to remove viruses from your computer

I think computer viruses should count as life … I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image, Stephen Hawking

Viruses are nasty little pieces of software, the bane of every user’s existence. Let’s get rid of them.

An antivirus is a computer program designed to protect you from Malware. An Anti-spyware is designed to block spyware. Typically, companies bundle Antivirus and Antispyware into a single program with both features. They are usually free only for private use.

  1. Reboot the computer.
  2. Download Tron. The download links are in the top post in /r/TronScript.

  4. Right-click on the tron.bat file, select Run as Administrator, and wait from 3 to 10 hours. Yes, that’s right, patience is a must! Image
  5. You’ll need to manually click “scan” in the Malwarebytes window that appears part of the way through Stage 3: Disinfect.

        sudo freshclam # It updates the signature database manually
        sudo systemctl start clamav-freshclam.service # It starts the clamav-freshclam.service service.
