Malware



From Mary Landesman, your Guide to Antivirus Software
Getting rid of a stubborn infection can be a daunting task. Often, malware will disable the very system components you need to do the job. This week, a reference list of some of the more common things you'll need to do in order to combat the malware.

How to Kill Winlogon
Malware often hooks into the Winlogon process, enabling the malware to load even in Safe Mode. Removing malware load points from Winlogon may require shutting down the Winlogon process. Here's how.

Enable Task Manager
To make manual inspection and removal more difficult, malware often disables access to Task Manager. Fortunately, a few quick Registry edits are usually all that are needed to regain control. Here's how.

How to Unregister a DLL in Windows
When attempting to manually remove malware, sometimes a DLL will need to be unregistered from the system before it can be deleted. Here's how to do that in four easy steps.

Recover Missing System Files
Sometimes mistakes happen. Whether the result of a false positive from antivirus software or a misunderstanding of a file's function, on occasion a valid system file can be inadvertently deleted or quarantined. Here's how to replace the missing file(s) to get your system operational again.
