Make sure to implement these problems in the specific order in which they are presented to avoid any conflicts.
Solution 1: Deleting Cache Files
The virus sometimes stores itself in the computer’s cache folder which stores all the application loading configurations in order to load the applications quickly and swiftly. Therefore, in this step, we will be deleting all the cache items from your computer. It will be automatically regenerated by the application so we do not have to worry about losing important data.
Solution 2: Running SFC scan
SFC scan is a function in the Windows operating systems that allows the users to run a scan for any corrupted drivers or configuration files and repairs them automatically. Therefore, in this step, we will be looking for and fixing any corrupt Windows files where the Parasite might have implemented itself. For that:
Solution 3: Performing a Clean Boot
When the system is in the Clean boot state, no third-party application or driver is allowed to run. Therefore, if the parasite was manifesting itself along with a Windows Service or a third party application we can determine which application or service it was being implemented through. In order to perform a clean boot:
Solution 4: Running an Antivirus
It is recommended that you install a third party Antivirus application and allow it to thoroughly scan your computer for viruses because this is a parasite that might be stealing important data from your computer. If the problem still persists then the only option that remains is to backup important files and perform a fresh install of Windows.
