Do you know you can remove a virus without using an anti-virus. Anti-virus searches your computer for files that are already stored in its database and ask you for the next point of action.
Let’s take EXPLORER.EXE as an example.
Symptoms: Your documents folder opens at start up.
First go to the Windows Task Manager (Press ctrl + alt+ Del) and stop the process EXPLORER.EXE
Go to the System Configuration Utility Windows by typing “
msconfig” in the run input box from the start menu. From the start-up tab uncheck EXPLORER.EXE, and then confirm changing by clicking apply. (This disables the virus from running when you boot your computer).
Search your System32 folder for the virus file. (C:\WINDOWS\system32) From the Tool tab on the menu bar: Folder Options > Views, check the the option show hidden file and folders. Search for EXPLORER.EXE and autorun.inf then delete.
Go to Registry typing “
regedit” in the run input box, search for EXPLORER.EXE and delete.
Congratulations. Your computer is free from EXPLORER.EXE
