To protect PCs and laptops from malware, such as dangerous spyware, there is a tool that checks the computer every patch day. But you can also do something yourself, in acute danger.
1. Click on “Start” – Enter the command “mrt” – Enter key
2. Launch of the Windows Tool
3. Click on “Continue” – Activation of the “Custom Review” – Select desired directory
or „Complete verification“ (all directories): can take several hours depending on the amount of data and system speed
On the one hand, there are disadvantages that this tool can only detect and delete the most common malware and does not use a virus scanner. On the other hand, it does not offer real-time protection.
