Part 1​

Is your computer running slow, crashing randomly or notice any unusual files on your PC? You might want to do a few scans to check for any malicious files.

To start this process open the file i gave you to download and open the "Part 1" folder and install "MalwareBytes" As a bonus i have included a serial key that will unlock MalwareBytes PRO for faster scans and more.

Once PRO is activated do a FULL system scan.

Once that is complete it will open up a notepad with a bunch of important information.

If it shows you have malicious files then go back to MalwareBytes and click "Remove Selected".

Once its done removing them you will have to restart your PC and you should be good, but just to make sure lets scan with another program.

Open up "Kaspersky rootkit" and START SCAN. It will most likely come up clean, but in the case it doesnt say your clean just post a screen shot of what it tells you and i will personally assist you.

Part 2​

Knowing what programs start when your CP turns on is VERY important. It can cause slow start ups and can bog your computer down.

To check what your PC runs on start up open the "Part 2" folder and run "Auto Run Checker"
You should see something like this

Spoiler

Now here is the part where YOU need to use common sense and your brain. CAREFULLY look through EVERY running process. Look at the Publisher and the image path.

If the publisher is Unknown or blank then it could be malicious. Locate the file and delete it, if the file is locked and unable to delete then open up MalwareBytes, go to "More Tools" and run FileASSASSIN to delete the file.

Now as you are searching through your auto runs also keep an eye out for files with random .exe names like hhg4d.exe. Those could be harmful and you should scan the file with any of the links in Part 6.

To check if a file is malicious there are a few online tools to help.
anubis.iseclab.org is an online scanner that will scan your file and then tell you a bunch of information regarding on what it wants to access on your computer. Click for an example

virustotal.com is also another great online file scanner. It doesnt give the in depth information like the one above, but still works.

Part 3​

Want to see what your PC is running at this very moment?

Open up the "Part 3" folder, run "HiJackThis" and select "Do a system scan and save logfile" Once that is done scanning check the same folder you ran it from for a txt document. Open it and then look through ALL of your running processes. Like i said before, look out for Suspicious processes like "Unknown .exe" located in system 32.

If you find something sketchy press CLT+ALT+DEL, start task manager and END the process. If it does not let you, then saerch for the file name on your PC and delete the file. If the file is locked and unable to delete then open up MalwareBytes, go to "More Tools" and run FileASSASSIN to delete the file.

If you would like to check another program for your processes open up "Process Explorer" in Part 3.
What it will look like

Spoiler

Once again scan through those processes and if you find something sketchy then right click on it and END PROCESS TREE.

Part 4​

Computer running slow? You most likely have TONS of temporary and unneeded in your registry. Lets clear all of those with CCLeaner.

I have included a cracked version and tutorial on how to get CCleaner Business edition, which scans quicker and more. Or if you want the regular CCLeaner download it from piriform.com/ccleaner

Once you have CCleaner, open it and go to "Registry" and Scan for issues

Spoiler

Once scan is done you will have the option to save a back up, thats your choice. To be safe i would.

Then click "Fix all selected issues", when done close that screen and click the "Cleaner" tab.

Press "Analyze" to start the scan. (Must have ALL internet tabs closed)

Once scan is finished click "Run Cleaner"

Once thats complete your done for this part. It is VERY IMPORTANT to run both of these cleaners twice a week to keep your PC running smoothly.

Its meant for any user to be able to do it their self. Yes its basic.

 

[ROFL]

Hey nice tutorial, 2 things though.

Link is broken(For the download), and you should lower the font, its pretty big.

Basic and regedit don't go together, lol.
people fuck up their systems using it because they have no idea what it actually does.

 

[м¢ℓσνιη]

Agreed, here you don't need to include a beginner tutorial with regedit. Plus those Mediafire links that you put are dead.

Also instead of leading them to your download pack why not send them to sites like Malwarebytes, Hitman Pro, and so on. Would be much easier.

Yes it is a FP, but that is because Comodo, has counted that as one for a while for a long time.

When installing Malwarebytes and using it, you don't have to install and activeate the full version. The free version does the same thing and plus if you are not wanting to keep in on your machine then I would go with the free version instead.

Also the font is too big for the thread.
