Fixing Malware Damage on Windows Devices

If your Windows device gets infected with malware, you might need to use more than one program to get rid of it. Sometimes, malware can mess up Windows settings, causing various problems.

One helpful tool is the Windows Repair tool from Tweaking.com. It makes it easy to fix issues caused by malware or other problems. Before you start fixing things, it will ask you to choose options like running Malware Bytes to check for malware, using Chkdsk to find disk errors, creating a system restore point, and running System File Checker to fix any wrong system files.

If you want to fix things yourself, you can find guides online that show you how to repair a malware-damaged PC.

What if your computer is so infected that it won’t even start in Safe Mode? Some antivirus companies, like AVG and Kaspersky, offer files you can download to create a bootable CD or USB drive. This drive can scan your computer for malware and help remove it.

You can get the AVG Rescue CD from their website, and Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 is also available online.

After using these tools to remove serious infections, restart your computer and use a program like the Windows Repair tool to get everything back to normal.
