Formatting window 10 due to trojan/virus

Hi folks,

I had a trojan on my windows 8.1 laptop. i have since upgraded to windows 10 however the windows.old folder contained the trojan/virus still and it reactivated it in a way.

since then i downloaded the media creation tool to create a bootable Windows 10 USB with the hope of formatting the hard drive to install a clean version of windows. can anyone confirm if this strategy will work? It sounds as though it should but would appreciate
any assistance.

cheers

 

pc trouble, unable to login

Did you download or installed any program in your PC?

Did you received an email stating you need to change your password?

Was the email contain attachment?

Do you have any Anti-Virus software installed?

Try create a bootable scan with Windows Defender Offline and boot into your infected PC and run a full system scan:

Scanner in Your Pocket

 

Have you tried to remove the viruses?

Something like Malwarebytes from Malwarebytes.com

 

If you decide to Reset instead of virus removal, use the built-in Reset option which will completely reinstall Windows (no bootable device required) You have the choice to save or remove your files. May have to reinstall addons and some software.


Click Settings/Update&Security/Recovery/Reset


It would be beneficial to the forum if you could describe the virus for future reference.

 

mikelferdinan,

Consider that the Windows 10 Reset feature is not intended for use in removing viruses.
Who knows what kind of virus, malware, Rootkit, etc. has infected the computer. You are probably not sure that system files are not infected.

If the virus/malware has infected the partition from which you will make the reset, the virus could just move right along with the reset. Your best bet would probably be to install from a bootable CD/DVD. However, an uninfected Windows computer with access to a CD burner is needed.

As Caledon Ken and torre asked, what attempts have you made to remove the malware? Has any program identified/described it?

 

Do you have a friend who has a computer or have access to a public computer?

 

Try this.
Open Settings, click on Update and Security, then Windows Defender......see attachment.
