How do I get rid of a virus that keeps coming back?

< 1 min read

  1. Run antivirus scans regularly.
    Make sure your antivirus software is up-to-date and run scans regularly to detect and remove any threats.

  2. Scan with multiple antivirus programs.
    Run a different antivirus program in addition to your regular security program. This way, if a virus has found a way to evade detection, your multiple scans should detect it.

  3. Change passwords and update browsers.
    Change the passwords on all your accounts and update your browser and operating system. Use a secure password manager to generate passwords of at least 8 characters and store them securely.

  4. Install security software.
    Use a program like McAfee Security, Norton Antivirus, or AVG Free to detect and remove viruses and malware. Run regular scans to detect and eliminate any threats. Keep your security software regularly updated for the best protection.

  5. Manually delete malicious files.
    Use Windows File Explorer or similar software to locate and delete any malicious files. If the virus is still present, the files might be hidden or locked by the operating system.

  6. Contact your Internet service provider.
    If the virus is still present, contact your Internet service provider for more assistance. They may be able to help you with further troubleshooting or assistance.
