One thing you left out that I find critical and something I do for all my clients is a discovery to try and identify how they got infected in the first place. I firmly believe an educated user is one that wont have to hire me in the first place. I know its taking money out of my pocket but I cannot in good conscience not try and help them understand what they did wrong. Of course there are those times when you cant figure it out but most of those I believe are because the client lied about something like telling me they was not visiting porn sites when they was...;)

Be wary of OEM keys. If you use one to activate your copy of Windows, when your beloved PC inevitably dies, not only will you be buying a new PC, but a new Windows product key as well.

I get a lot of customers that think they have a virus, because their pc is running slow, or they get adverts on certain Web sites. Most of the time it's because they don't use their pc often or long enough to do the windows or antivirus updates, turn in once a week for 10 minutes to check their emails, then turn off before it gets chance to update, then next time the pc has double the work to catch up.

[@crumblingsanity6455]

Question regarding disk cleanup though, i've used it a bit in the past, but for some odd reason it doesn't actually seem to be deleting/cleaning anything, because I would run it (mainly to free up space on on whichever drive), hit the "clean up system files" option, it'll scan and it'll say i'll have like 556MB of stuff to clean, check the boxes, hit ok, then go to restart my system, but when I look at my drive i'll have even LESS space than before and if I run DC again it'll give me a whole new amount (200MB now) i'm able to clean (keep in mind I tried running this multiple times sayme thing happened). Wondering if you know the cause this and the solution cause it's been almost a year since i've used the tool and not sure whether I should go back to try using it especially since i've read stories where disk cleanup even deleted someone's hard drive while others face the same problem with it just not cleaning up files.

[@NotAngel_vvg1]

best way to get ride of virus or check if there is virus 1st open bios and scan 2nd factor reset using bios

I won't do my usual " I run Linux " comment. In all honesty the last time I had a virus or any sort of malware was way back when I first tarted using Windows 7.If I werre to get a virus now with Windows 10 I would just do a fresh install. I have various backups of everything so it's no real issue to do a reinstall.

[@Britec09]

Windows 7 was bad for virus, I had to turn everything off on Windows 11 just to infect it, the both OS are like night and day when it comes to how easy it is to infect with malware.

I have a huge virus, it is called Windows 7, which was the operating system on my computer when I bought it from HP, well alas the Hard Drive died, I thought nothing of it since it was an old computer, but lately it seems MicroSoft has stopped all things to do with Windows 7 and 32 bit Software, well I am a game collector and have lots of 32 bit games, so when the Hard drive died, I was thinking just replace it with an SSD re-install windows 7, and use the key code on the side of the computer, but me reinstall Windows 7 was on the hard drive (now dead) so I went into my collection of Windows OS disks and re-installed Windows 7, now why windows 7 32 bit, it was and still is the best OS MS ever made. So I installed it, put in the key code on the side of the computer, and I get (you have a counterfeit system on your computer) and now after 29 days I get please activate pop ups which stops whatever I am doing. OK, I tried activating and the activation site doesn't seem to exist anymore. Now I am only using this system to play games, so it isn't even hooked to the internet except to download patches for the games. So if you want the biggest virus ever made buy Microsoft!
