I'm want to provide you a free guide to have malware removal and a basic PC tuneup on practically any PC provided which it at least boots to Windows desktop.
You may be wonder why a tuneup too? Because 99% of the time you encounter a pc with malware related issues, it also needed some form of a tune up as well. I include a tuneup on all computers that comes with malware related issues.
Some General Issue:
Remove your expired anti-virus, anti-spyware programs.
Remove unrecommended programs installed
You may be pretty delicate on this one, because you do not want to piss off a customer that is paid for UniBlue Registry Booster or similar recommended programs. Said the customer first before removing a program.
Removing outdated versions of programs.
You don't need to update every program on the customer's computer, just the essential one if they are present.
These are the ones I will be updating for the customer if they were installed. Mozilla FireFox, Chrome, Java SE, Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash Player.
Then, depending on time and necessity:
3 stage CheckDisk and full defrag using Puran Defrag's of Boot Defrag features.
***Remember to clear the system restore points first.
Windows Updates or Service Pack updates
Ok that is enough about for today, we'll go into more detail later on.
