Manual Virus Removal Instructions: Remove Viruses Without Software!

Removing viruses manually is easier than most people think; alas…software is not necessary!

Sometimes using software to remove viruses isn’t possible. Either the malware (trojan, virus, spyware, rootkit, etc) duplicates itself and creates multiple versions of itself to avoid being totally removed by software, or the antivirus software that is used gets deleted by the virus before having the opportunity to scan the computer.
