    I think the computer is infected with a virus and windows defender no longer sees the virus.


    used translation because I don't know English, i hope I was able to explain.It all started 2-3 days ago when I was trying to download a game from the internet. Since Windows Security detected a virus, I immediately deleted the file I downloaded, and then my nightmare began. First, a constant "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?" notification started coming from an unknown program. I think the name of the thing that sent the notification was "guboot.exe" , as far as I remember. I say as much as I remember because the name was constantly changingFirst, the location

    PC Infected with Virus

    My boss isn't great with computers and clicked a link in an email she shouldn't have, now the PC is infected with one of those things asking for credit card info to buy anti virus software. I wasn't in the office today so I didn't get to look at it myself, but I told her to boot into safe mode and try system restore, it didn't work though and the virus/program still ran.

    Usually in these cases, I just would reinstall Windows to make sure everything is clean. But she has data on this hard drive that can't be lost. When I go in tomorrow, I was going to see if I can copy the data to an external while in safe mode. I don't think it'll work, but I'll give it a shot.

    I *think* I have a second internal hard drive at my office. Could I put this in the PC, install Windows on it, boot into the clean Windows then copy the files from the hard drive with the infected Windows?

    Any suggestions how I should best deal with this?
