Select all these files and upload them on the website to find out if they are infected with viruses. When you discover infected files in the group of suspicious files, end their processes, and delete their entire folders.
Step #3
Not all infected parts of a system can get detected by uploading single files. So you’ll have to take some steps manually to remove them. Press Windows Key + R to launch the run command feature interface. After opening it, type appwiz.cpl and press Enter.
Doing so will open the windows’ control panel where you’ll be able to see every application running on your machine. You can install/uninstall any application form the control panel. So uninstall any suspicious-looking application from the system as soon as you see them.
After that, just type msconfig in the search bar and hit enter. A corresponding window will pop up where you will see the system configuration of your device.
Go to the start-up option and uncheck all entries that look suspicious to you or have unknown manufacturers.
Step #4
Open the run command interface by pressing Windows Key + R again. After that, just copy & paste the following text in the run command interface and press Enter.
Hold the Start Key and R – copy + paste the following and click OK:
notepad %windir%/system32/Drivers/etc/hosts
A new file will open. If you are hacked, there will be a bunch of other IPs connected to you at the bottom. Look at the image below:
