How do I scan for and remove malware?

There
are many tools available online that you can use to scan for and remove
viruses. Malwarebytes, HitmanPro, Superantispyware, Norton Power Eraser are
just a few of them. The process to install and run the scan is almost similar
for all of these products. Here’s how to go about it with Malwarebytes.

How
to use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:

1. Print out these
       instructions as you will need to close every window that is open later in
       the fix.
2. Download Malwarebytes
       Anti-Malware, or MBAM, from the following location and save it to your
       desktop:
       Malwarebytes'
       Anti-Malware Download Link (Download page will open in a new window)
3. Once downloaded, close
       all programs and Windows on your computer, including this one.
4. Double-click on the icon
       on your desktop named mbam-setup.exe. This will start the
       installation of MBAM onto your computer.
5. When the installation
       begins, keep following the prompts in order to continue with the
       installation process. Do not make any changes to default settings and when
       the program has finished installing, make sure you leave both the Update
       Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes Anti-Malware     checked. Then click on the Finish button.
6. MBAM will now
       automatically start and you will see a message stating that you should
       update the program before performing a scan. As MBAM will automatically
       update itself after the install, you can press the OK button to
       close that box and you will now be in the main program.
7. On the Scanner     tab, make sure the Perform full scan option is selected and then
       click on the Scan button to start scanning your computer for
       infections.
8. MBAM will now start
       scanning your computer for malware. This process can take quite a while,
       so we suggest you go and do something else and periodically check on the
       status of the scan.
9. When the scan is
       finished a message box will appear saying the scan is complete.
       You should click on the OK button to close the message box and continue
       with the removal process.
10. You will now be back at
        the main Scanner screen. At this point you should click on the Show
        Results button.
11. A screen displaying all
        the malware that the program found will be shown.
        You should now click on the Remove Selected button to remove all
        the listed malware. MBAM will now delete all of the files and registry
        keys and add them to the programs quarantine. When removing the files,
        MBAM may require a reboot in order to remove some of them. If it displays
        a message stating that it needs to reboot, please allow it to do so. Once
        your computer has rebooted, and you are logged in, please continue with
        the rest of the steps.
12. When MBAM has finished
        removing the malware, it will open the scan log and display it in Notepad.
        Review the log as desired, and then close the Notepad window.
13. You can now exit the
        MBAM program.

To scan and remove latest computer malwares only use recognized malware removal tool. This is because some people create scam software and malware disguised as malware protection. The irony!
