Removing and Repairing the Damage
The removal and repair portion of this chapter is not as extensive as in previous chapters.
Remove Malicious Files
First and foremost, if you discover new files related to malicious code, rename or delete them.
Edit or Delete Modified Files
If files have been modified that you can fix, make the modifications
to remove the malicious parts. For example, if the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file has been modified to startup a
malicious program every time the PC starts, edit the file, remove the
statement, and save. If files have been modified to an extent that
you cannot repair them, rename or delete. Then reboot to clear
memory. We are trying to get any traces of the malicious code gone
and remove its control.
Run Repair Tool
If you feel the integrity of Internet Explorer has been damaged, or
you just want to rule out other types of errors, you can run Internet
Explorer’s Repair
Tool
.
