Hi:

There is no one set of "boilerplate", "cookbook" or standard steps.
Each computer is unique.
Each malware infection is unique.
Proper diagnosis, cleanup and repair depends on the particular infection and the system that is infected.
The process can be tedious and time-consuming, often requiring the use of multiple powerful tools, in the proper sequence.
Many of them can actually damage the system if deployed improperly by untrained computer users.

Bottom line:
Malware cleanup is best done with *customized* support provided by trained individuals who know what tools to use and how to use them.

There are a few folks with such expertise here at this forum (I am not one of them).
And there are a number of reputable computer disinfection fora where trained malware removal experts provide free, custom assistance.

Cheers,

 

Virus Infection Notice

Turned on PC, got annoying Microsoft Virus Infection Notice, (from support.windows.com), saying I needed to call 844-713-3458 w/in the next 5 minutes or my computer could suffer grave damage. I know this is a hoax. Just thought you ought to know. I
solved it by shutting down my PC & returning in a few minutes then the annoying "warning" screen w/a voice talking disappeared!
