Remove virus manually

As we all know that most of the viruses comes from pen-drive. These viruses have common symptoms like they are hidden and cannot remove by antivirus. So there are some methods by which you can remove those viruses.As we know that these pendrive viruses have autorun file which makes to run the virus(e.g - NEWFOLDER.EXE, SYSTEM.EXE etc)automatically.

Every file or folder having three attributes and they are - hidden, system and read.
All viruses have these attributes combined, that's why when you click on "show hidden files and folders" they will still in hidden mode.

You can change the attributes, I will discuss it later.

First of all we have to remember some precautions- like
Dont try to open the pendrive directly.
Try to disable autorun for removable storage media.
When you insert the pendrive in any port just keep pressing the right shift key from your keyboard so that pendrive won't run automatically.

Then try to search autorun.exe in pendrive(without open it) via command prompt.
At command prompt type these lines :
c:\>K:
k:\>attrib -s -h
(here you will see the autorunfile then just del it)
k:\>del autorun.exe

k:\>attrib -s -h
(if still autorun.exe file is in your pendrive then apply this method in safe mode)

You can delete some viruses like newfolder.exe and system.exe via this method. Apply this method in safe mode. There are come tools also to remove these viruses and autorun file You can download these tools from here CLICkHERE
ThankYou
