Asked By WanderingPanda82 On

I inadvertently ended up on a site called Clickfix while trying to install a game, and it installed a malware named 'Clickfix.' Windows Defender quarantined it, but after scanning with Malwarebytes, I found two additional threats called 'Dropper.' I reset my PC, but two CMD windows pop up when I start it. I'm worried about completely removing all these threats—what should I do?

Glad to hear you're planning to try that! It can be daunting, but a clean install is really the best way to ensure no remnants of malware are left behind.

If you really want to wipe out the malware for good, the most foolproof method is to reinstall Windows using a USB installer created on an uninfected computer. This way, you can completely erase your hard drive and start fresh. It's a hassle, but it's the best way to be 100% sure it's gone.

Just a heads-up: If you're trying to create a USB installer on an infected PC, you could risk transferring the malware to the USB. It's safer to use a different computer if you can manage it.
