    I believe there is virus in my PC


    So, I torrented something, and immediately afterwards, my PC started to slow down. That's why I figured that I probably have a crazy virus because my C: SSD drive is suddenly filled up to the point where there's only 200 MB left when there was 65 GB before. I check the properties of the folders. All of a sudden, the program files are smaller than they actually should be, so it's hard to tell where the majority of the capacity is coming from. I tried to restore my computer to a previous time, but Windows is telling me that it couldn't successfully restore, which makes me think that the virus is getting in the way. Help. How can I get rid of this thing? I tried MalwareBytes. It detected 5 trojan viruses and apparently quarantined them, but I'm still having the same problem. Is there another way I can force restore outside of the extreme?

    steps taken for infected Pc's.


    I was hoping someone could give me a list of step by step instructions you use as a guide to clean virus, malware...etc. so I can keep my PC clean if it gets infected.

    thx

    Virus...NOOOOO!

    Then its not a virus, i thought its a little strange that a virus was still going in safe mode. But i dont know what to suggest it could be? Are you using the same pc to connect to the internet, just with a linux partition?
