    Virus? How Do I Get Rid Of It?


    I haven't downloaded anything recently, but I'm getting some weird notifications from request4me.com in my notifications. I can't seem to get rid of them. Some of them are pretty shocking, like for adult sites and even fake virus protection. All I do on my PC is play Skyrim and do research for school. I don't have time for anything else.

    The Windows Security hasn't caught it, so I'm not sure what to do. I don't have any other virus protection as my old virus protection ran out a while ago and haven't had the funds to renew it. I am currently a graduate student who is part of a program that involves doing digital research, and I'm wondering if perhaps a site my professor needed us to use had some sort of a virus on it. If this is a virus, has anyone else gotten it? Does anyone know how to get rid of it?


    Thanks,


    A Desparate Grad Student

    Win 10 How to get rid of Windows.old folder and content.


    *Think

    As always, there seems to be lots of alleged fixes out there, which may work on versions earlier than Win 10... but not with Win 10. The struggle for getting rid of this now un-needed bloat seems to be wrapped up in file permissions. But even when I try to clobber it with administrative authority, it won't budge. One fix suggests that you can use disk cleanup to get rid of it by selecting previous installation files. Heh. Yeah. Just TRY and find that option in Win 10.

    Ok. Somebody hopefully has managed to resolve this inigma. Step by step, please. Virus? How Do I Get Rid Of It? :)

    Virus? How Do I Get Rid Of It?

    Clean the Virus

    Hi,

    Virus infection usually happens on a computer when it is exposed to an infected website or removable devices. For us to help you clean the malware on your device, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Which build and version of Windows are you using?
    • Did you encounter any error messages related to having a virus infection on your device?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest running any available antivirus software on your PC. It would be very helpful to us if you could also provide the result of the antivirus scan process.

    Looking forward to your response.
