[Windows] What to do after Malware Removal
July 13th, 2009
After removing a nasty malware infection (virus) using security software (my guide here), you need to clean the traces of the infection that your anti-virus failed to remove. This is essential in preventing another spread of the attack. This is where iClean comes into play.
iClean is a portable application that can be run from anywhere, including a Flash drive. iClean will display information about the computer system in six tabs.
- Processes: Displays all running processes with the option to check processes and kill them or kill and delete them.
- Services: A list of all running services with the option to delete multiple services at once.
- Registry: Several security sensitive Registry settings are displayed here including programs that bypass firewall rules, toolbars and browser helper objects with the option to repair, backup and restore settings.
- Startup Folders: Displays a list of startup items that are loaded during system start with the option to enable, disable or clear them.
- Hosts: The Windows hosts file that is used by malware to redirect internet traffic.
- Advanced: Option to terminate a known process ID.
