    How do i get rid of a very extreme virus


    I've have a virus for around 2 years now, but its slowly getting worse, its not letting me wipe my laptop, it says i don't have access to certain files, Im the only User on my laptop currently, it has blocked me from opening device manager, or anything that might help me with getting rid of it, im getting a new computer soon but i want to get rid of it so my little brother can happily play on it without experiencing any issues, I have Administrator on my account but it just won't let me open anything that could help, it lets me open cmd prompt though, im not very good with computers since i on

    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.

    How do i get rid of a very extreme virus

    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. How do i get rid of a very extreme virus :)
