1. Task Manager
Utilizing the task manager is an effective method for detecting viruses. If you encounter any suspicious tasks, terminate them and examine their file locations. To ascertain the presence of a Remote Access Trojan (RAT), inspect the background processes for a task labeled "Windows Powershell." If this task is present without the PowerShell application being open, it indicates a potential compromise.
2. Using CMD
To determine if a keylogger is present, you can utilize the Command Prompt (CMD). You may be curious about the procedure. Open CMD in the standard mode (do not run as an administrator) and enter the command "netstat." If you identify an IP address associated with port 4444, it signifies the presence of a keylogger. For example: 192.168.0.1:4444.
3. Windows Defender
If you launch the Windows Defender application and it indicates that it has been disabled by group policy, this is a strong indication of malware infection.
4. Windows Firewall
Examine your Windows Firewall settings; if it is turned off and you have not disabled it, it is likely that your system is infected with malware.
How can I remove malware?
1. Download HitManPro. After installation, conduct a "Threat Scan." Once the scan is complete, restart your computer. Subsequently, download Malwarebytes and perform another "Threat Scan." After this scan, remove any suspicious items that are identified and restart your computer.
2. Acquire a USB stick and download Windows 10 onto it. You can find tutorials on YouTube that explain how to reinstall Windows using a USB drive.
