How to Remove Virus Alerts From a Computer
- 1). Run an antivirus scan. If you currently have antivirus protection, the application is trying to tell you something with the constant barrage of alerts. If you do not, then it's possible the alerts are stemming from a virus. Download an antivirus application. Some options (free and paid) come from McAfee, Symantec, Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG and Panda Security. Run a full system scan on your Windows partition (typically the C: drive) to remove any detected malicious threats. This will eliminate any viruses, trojans or worms causing harm to your computer and thus remove their alerts.
- 2). Download and install an anti-spyware application. There are some powerful free offerings from Lavasoft, Microsoft and SpyBot. Run a deep system scan to detect and spyware, malware or adware. The constant virus alert message may simply be an instance of adware, directing the user to purchase a fake antivirus solution. Remove any detected instances. This option is beneficial if the the alerts are still appearing after a full-system virus scan.
- 3). Reformat your hard drive. If you have a particularly nasty infection, your last resort will be to completely wipe your hard drive clean and therefore ensuring the threat is neutralized. To do this you will need your Windows installation disc and perform a clean installation. This is considered a last resort as all applications and data will be erased. Before reformatting the hard drive, be sure to save your important documents to an external hard drive.
