Thats what I’m thinking too. But I’ve got two questions

1. What will happen to my files - they are important to me
2. What if the hardware is damaged already? And after installing the new OS, the issue persists
3. How can I even install a new OS when everything on the system is fluctuating i.e Keyboard doesn’t work

Just install a new OS. No hardware is damaged, you will only lose your files which you already know and don't try backing them up. Had similar issue last month, my keyboard stopped working, mouse started running on it's own. Lost important files

Or if not, you can recommend me a good engineer in Computer village or elsewhere

I am in Lagos, I can help, all we need do is copy your files out and do a complete formatting of your system, but I really doubt a virus did all that! Just saying!

My system has been infected with a virus

I think I got it when I was trying to download something online

The virus has messed up my system and nothing works again

Keyboard doesn’t work

I bought external keyboard, it worked for a while, now the virus has corrupted the external keyboard and it doesn’t work again.

If I click on a file or folder, it opens hundred times till the system screen is covered and the system hangs.

If I wanna install a file, the virus doesn’t allow it. Hence installing a virus remover is very difficult

I have scanned the system endless times with the exiting antivirus that was on the system before and it detects nothing, meaning the virus has a strong persistence

I can’t connect to the internet, connecting to the internet has been disabled.

Mouse doesn’t work again too, I bought external

If I try to open softwares, it crashes and doesn’t open

Many other things I cannot remember

My friend are saying it may not be a virus, that maybe my system is old and I need a change.

But what can cause a system to have all these faults at once if not a virus.

Please help



just go to SAFE MODE uninstall the application that messed up ur system, come back here and thank me...

shutdown ur system, then on it and press delete button or F8 from the function keys, it will take u to an environment given u options, from the options, select start system from safe mode, ur system will boot up in safe mode then from there u can uninstall the application, simple as ABC

On a more serious note, i think your best option is to just format the system directly and install a new fresh Os. You should be more concerned about the hardware of your PC, because this is the first time i am seeing a virus disabling a computer hardware.

Try booting in safe mode, if it doesn't work
Try restoring from a restore point, if it doesn't work
Try and refresh your OS. If it doesn't work
Format it.

To save your file get an external HDD adapter connect your hardrive to it and copy only your documents/ pics and video. Do not copy software raw files not even the trusted ones. After which format it.

I can only believe the virus is deadly if it can kill you, otherwise nothing deadly there. If ur system is malfunctioning, go and fix it or simply get a new one.

F8 function key.

banjicom:


1. You don't have to do it yourself, tell the engineer or the person doing the formatting to partition your hard disk into a smaller size depending on how big the files you want to backup. In doing so it won't affect any of your files only your installed apps will be deleted.

2 . Reboot your system, and press f9 to boot into safe mode and see if your keyboard and mouse will work without any issues. If it work, than all you need is a fresh window installation, if it doesn't work let me know.

3. It is very simple, i can even give u instructions on hownto do it wen you are ready.

Here is what is happening.

You are being attacked by a malware that has blacklisted the certificates of any app that can solve your problem.
All you need to do is go to certificates on your PC and remove some apps that you know should not be blacklisted from the blacklist.
Install Avast and run a boot scan.

use keyboard commands to load your system into a safe mode at start up. Google it. It usually involves using the F keys at startup. Then try to get some files or do whatever you want before you format it. A virus wo t be able to do anything in this mode.
Re: My Computer Is Infected With A Very Deadly Virus by govomotors: 12:52pm On Sep 27, 2019
Just bear in mind you are going to lose all you files. Must of the files on your system have been effected with the virus.

If you copy any file from that system into a new system there is a 99.9% chance that the new system will be effected.

Always backup your important document/files on external disk or on your online storage facility.
Re: My Computer Is Infected With A Very Deadly Virus by yomijidex92(m): 12:53pm On Sep 27, 2019
Virus is not the problem of ur system, the problem is the keyboard of the system. If you disable it your system will work fine. Not the external keyboard, is the one on the system.

Na formatting go solve am, if hardware components are not working as a result of the 'virus' chances are some drivers are affected also.

Also windows.old folder can be scanned with antivirus and some file might be retrieved. apps certainly will go.

one method used to resolve for a client.

1. To save your files, remove the hard drive from the Laptop and attach it to another laptop as an external drive and have it scanned to clear the viruses, and then copy your important files.

2. Install the hard drive back to your laptop, and see if it boot properly, if it doesn't , means some windows files might have been affected.

3.If your system still has its original preinstalled OS, then use its recovery utlitiy to restore your system back to factory state. If no pre-installed OS, buy our usual pirated cracked OS of your choice to install.

Your might not been able to carry out these steps your self...so take it to a computer engineer to do the above and your laptop will be okay.

Shout out to the IT guys oo.

The only way to save your files:

1. Get a USB stick.
2. Get a new OS on CD or USB stick.
3. Boot to safe mode.
4. Backup all your files to the USB stick 1...Yes, they will contain virus.
5. Format the Hard Drive and install a new OS.
6. Download and install all service packs.
7. Download and install a good anti-virus, there are many free ones online.
8. Scan your PC and make sure to enable virus protection.
9. Scan USB stick 2 to eliminate all virus.
10. After the backup in step 4 above, disconnect make sure not to connect USB stick 2 back to the PC until step 9 above.
