00:10If your PC is running slow, crashing, or showing strange pop-ups, you might have a malware infection.
00:17But don't worry, we're here to help.
00:21First, disconnect your computer from the Internet.
00:24This prevents the malware from spreading or sending your data to attackers.
00:31Simply unplug your Ethernet cable or turn off your Wi-Fi.
00:35Next, we'll use the built-in system file checker to repair any corrupted system files.
00:41Open the command prompt as an administrator and type SFC scan off.
00:47Then press Enter.
00:49This scan might take a while, so be patient.
00:52Once the SFC scan is complete, it's time to clean up junk files.
00:58Open the disk cleanup tool, select your main drive, and check all the boxers to remove unnecessary files.
01:06You can also manually delete temporary files by opening the run dialog, typing percent, temp percent, and deleting the contents
01:15of the folder.
01:16Now, let's hunt for malware.
01:18Windows has a built-in tool called the Malicious Software Removal Tool.
01:23Open the run dialog, type mail, and run a full scan.
01:27This is a good first line of defense.

01:35We recommend Malwarebytes free.
01:38Download it from the official website, install it, and run a full system scan.
01:43This will catch and remove threads that Windows Defender might need.
01:48With the malware removed, it's crucial to keep your system updated.
01:52Go to Windows Update and install all available updates.
01:58This patches security holes that malware often exploits.
02:02Also, make sure your web browsers and other software are up to date.
02:07Finally, let's take some preventative measures.
02:11Make sure Windows Defender's real-time protection is enabled.
02:14Consider installing a reputable ad blocker like Ublock Origin to block malicious ads.
02:22And most importantly, be cautious about what you download and click on.
