How to Fix a Malware Infected Computer

Even after malware has been removed from a computer many of the problems caused by it may still remain. That said, one of the first things you should do in order to fix any of these problems is to make sure that all infections have actually been removed. If you know that you still have infections on your computer then, instead of trying to fix problems while the malware is still present, you should first remove all infections. To do this please see my article about How to Clean An Infected Computer. Then, after you believe that all malware has been removed you should also check to make sure the computer is now clean by following the advice I give in How to Know If Your Computer Is Infected. Trying to fix problems on a computer that is still infected is largely a waste of time.


Once you have confirmed that your computer is entirely free of malware you should then back up all of your important files. This way if anything goes wrong while fixing the computer, which is a very real possibility, your important documents will still be intact. Please note that if your computer cannot boot you should follow the advice on this page in order to back up all important files.
