hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and i am glad to have you back on my episode 11 today we are going to discuss about Once you've identified that there's a symptom of malware that may be existing on your computer what should you do about it? Well, the first thing you should do is scan the computer to see if there's actually malware on it. In this case we have a virus that's been detected.How are we going to clean out that system from this virus or other types of malware? Well, before we take any action to try to clean up the virus we want to make sure we have a good backup of our current system. As we go through, we try to clean up the malware, we may have to change file systems. We may have to delete everything and start all over. We may have to change different configurations. And so making sure that we have a good backup of all of our files is critically important. The first thing we're going to do is identify the symptoms of the malware infection. What is your computer doing that makes you think that it's been infected? Have new files been created? Is the computer acting slowly?Do you have gibberish showing on your screen? Whatever the things are you need to notate that. And because that will help you determine what type of virus or malware has been infecting your machine. Next, we're going to quarantine the infected systems. Now what does that mean exactly? It means that we want to prevent this system from communicating with other systems so that the malware from this system can't spread to others.Most commonly we do this by turning off the network card or unplugging the network cable to remove your computer from your production network. The third step to removing malware is to disable your system restore if you're using a Windows machine. The reason we want to do this is we want to make sure Windows isn't continuing to take snapshots of our infected machine. This makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Let's say we go and we clean out this piece of malware and a couple of months go by or even a year and we have an issue with our system. We decide to revert to a good backup. And we end up choosing one of those snapshots that was taken while the malware was enabled. This is going to be a mistake that we did, but by doing so we're reintroducing and reinfecting ourselves. And for this reason we want to go and turn off our Windows Restore. Also, we want to go back and delete any of the snapshot that may have been taken during the time the computer was infected. The fourth step to removing malware is to remediate the infected machine. This includes updating our antivirus and anti-malware software on the machine, using its scanning capabilities, quarantining capabilities, and removal techniques to our advantage. Now what are some of these techniques? Well, this includes doing things like rebooting your machine into safe mode and going into a pre-installation environment and then running the scans from your anti-malware software. Now this is important because if you're using a normal Windows machine a lot of the files are in use when you're normally booted up. And so to remove that virus you need to make sure that that file isn't in use. But when you reboot yourself into safe mode, you're able to minimize the amount of files that are in use and allows the anti-malware solution to more effectively remove the malware much more cleanly. Our fifth step is to schedule automatic updates and scans. This will ensure that we've removed the malware and we can prevent it from coming back. The most common way of getting malware into your system is because you don't have an updated anti-malware solution on there.
