Getting rid of a computer virus is an absolute must, and doing it yourself can be complicated. One of the simplest ways to get rid of it is by installing antivirus software, such as Norton antivirus and let the professionals solve your problems and make sure your computer is protected. Here is a step-by-step to get rid of a virus with the help of Norton.
Step 1 - Run a security scan
Open your Norton antivirus and run a scan to check for viruses and malware.
Step 2 - Remove existing viruses
Once the scan has detected viruses, you can remove them by using a service such as Norton Power Eraser. It will do a scan and show you onscreen instructions on how to get rid of a virus or malware. If needed, you can call technical assistance for Norton and follow their instructions and once that is done, restart your computer.
Step 3 - Update security system
Once you have restarted the computer, make sure the software of it is updated with the latest protections. An example of this could be getting notifications that you need to update Windows or a web browser, and it is a good idea to install the latest version right away.
You can even set up automatic updates for the security software, web browser, and operating system (Windows or Mac OS), and always be sure everything is up-to-date.
