How do you get rid of a virus?

I think I have a virus on my laptop. Since then on the laptop is a program which is called Registy Reviver. When I try to delete it keeps coming up. At the top of the Home menu is now an Internet search bar. Well, and generally the PC is now CLEARLY slower.

Download Malwarebytes, let it run over it and remove it again.

The most complete and clear solution is to completely rebuild the computer

So the simplest, and if you are familiar with windows not so well about an antivirus program. If you are still able to access the internet in the normal way, then you can simply download a trial version of Kaspersky or bitdefender for example. Otherwise, there are antivirus boot cds, where a virus scanner is already on it and to use the.

This is not a virus, just one of those unspeakable tuning, optimization and repair tools that promise the layman to fix all sorts of system problems and "speed up" the computer. If you did not specifically install it, it probably came as an addition to the installer of another software and you did not opt out because you did not do a custom installation.

You could try to get rid of it with a tool like https://geekuninstaller.com/. This is actually there to remove corrupted and broken software, even if their own uninstaller is already deleted.

I should remember for the future.

Which would have shot us once again with cannons on sparrows… ☻☻☻

Not quite. Because if it were really malware, the usual tip with virus scanners would be like an air rifle with which you shoot at a saber tooth tiger. In a malware infection, rebuilding the compromised system is actually the only reliable way to solve the problem.

Maybe, but I'm always very careful with viruses, putting it on again does not take forever if you do it by the way and never hurts. The virus is then 100% removed - or in other words, the sparrow is finally gone

This is guaranteed NOT a virus, but only one of these pointless optimization tools. Therefore, not with an AV program "fight", but rather with anti-malware. I have in addition to my AV Malwarebytes Premium (paid version) run and only made best experiences with it…
