How do I get rid of this virus off of my pc? It is called w32/genric.m?

Question

Mcafee cant delete it. I even tried to delete in safe mode and it did not work. Help! It even affected my keyboard whenever i try to type it freezes my pc. I bought a new keyboard and it did the same thing.

Answer 1

Try downloading these files first:

http://www.mcafee.com/apps/downloads/security_updates/dat.asp

Then run your McaFee antivirus program and see if it removed it.

Answer 2

Boot into safe mode with networking, you press F8 when the computer is loading, while in safemode everything will look big, but this will not allow the virus to run. While in safe mode open up IE or Firefox which ever you use for web browsing and go to http://free.griosoft.com and install AVG and do a FULL scan on your computer. Also go to download.com and search for spybot. You will want to download and install spybot search and destroy and do all the updates and scan. Good luck!

Answer 3

I suggest that you try to carryout system restore to a day previous to the day when there was no virus or any problems. It may be a few weeks or months back. You have to decide the date. Detailed instructions are posted at http://fixit.in/systemrestore.html
The problem is likely to be solved. Then,You insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton, AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at
