Start> Computer> right click the
C Drive and choose
Properties> enter
Click
Disk Cleanup from there.
Click
OK on the Disk Cleanup Screen.
Click
Yes on the Confirmation screen.
This runs the Disk Cleanup utility along with other selections if you have chosen any. (if you had a lot System Restore points, you will see a significant change in the free space in C drive)
*****************************************
This step will remove all cleaning tools we used, it'll reset restore points (so you won't get reinfected by accidentally using some older restore point) and it'll make some other minor adjustments...
This is a very crucial step so make sure you don't skip it.
Download
DelFix by Xplode to your desktop. Delfix will delete all the used tools and logfiles.
Double-click
Delfix.exe to start the tool.
Make sure the following items are checked:
- Activate UAC (optional; some users prefer to keep it off)
- Remove disinfection tools
- Create Registry backup
- Purge System Restore Points
- Re-set system settings
Now click "
Run" and wait patiently.
Once finished a logfile will be created. You
don't have to attach it to your next reply.
