The virus blocked the computer? - No problem! Let's correct it!

Recently, users around the world are increasingly exposed to viruses on the Internet, even if they just browse the news or open their own mailbox.

What to do if the virus has blocked the computer?

As a rule, those who have already encountered such a nuisance say that in such cases neither the reboot, nor the repeated shutdown-inclusion do not help, and the computer does not work.

A message appears on the screen: "Virus! Windows is locked! ". After that, it is very often suggested to send a text message to one of the proposed numbers. Of course, you should not trust this kind of "caring helpers", you will only spend money, time and nerves.

If the computer is blocked by a virus, you can act in two different ways. - First, contact a specialist, however, this option implies additional cash costs. Secondly, you can try to correct the situation on your own. The second way sounds scary for the layman, but this is only at first glance.

When at work the virus blocked the computer, the entire unlock process took me no more than an hour, just act boldly, resolutely and armed with instructions and tips.

I would recommend that you do the following:

1. On a blank disc write down a special program DrWeb Curelt. Of course, it will not be possible to do this from an infected computer. Take advantage of any other office work machine, or the computer of one of your friends, at the worst, visit the nearest Internet cafe.
2. Returning, turn on your grief computer. - It is important not to miss the moment: before the device starts to load, you need to have time to press the F8 key several times.
3. A special window is displayed in which you can choose how to boot the computer.
4. We need the system to boot only using the basic services and drivers, and any add-ons in this case do not need at all. Hence, we give preference to the safe mode of loading.
5. The system boots.
6. After that, insert the previously recorded disk into the drive, run a special utility designed specifically to test the computer.
7. Please note that a message appears at the corners of the screen indicating that your machine is in a state of increased (enhanced) protection.
8. The test begins.
9. And although we already knew for sure that it was the virus that blocked the computer, you will agree, it's nice that our assumption is confirmed.
10. The device is cured.

Among other things, I would like to advise you to perform a full scan during the scan, since it is likely that the virus could be registered in any of the folders, and not even one, but several at once.

For example, there were cases when in a short time, two or three viruses managed to register more than 3000 folders and files.

Very often, along with malicious programs, there are still some problems. As a rule, the computer can "slow down" when it boots. But I would like to warn you, if you decide to use a special Cleaner program to clean your device of unnecessary documents, be careful with deleting the files containing the dll extension. They can not be deleted in any way. Otherwise, you will not be able to boot the computer even in safe mode and you will have to reinstall the operating system.

So, let's sum up. - If the virus has blocked the computer, you should not even try to send a text message to the specified phone number. Such a procedure will lead to nothing. Call the master, and even better, solve the problem yourself. It seems to me that you are quite able to do this, especially since I tried to provide a very detailed step-by-step instruction for performing the actions. Good luck!
