Being a victim of a malware attack is very common. Although an antivirus can remove all malware, spyware, etc., it may not be able to detect and repair the various types of system file corruption generated during the attack. SmartFix is a free Windows software that allows you to troubleshoot and resolve common system issues so that you can start using your normal computer normally after being attacked by malware.
Recover a Windows computer after a malware attack
SmartFix is designed to do only three tasks. You can use it when your computer is attacked and after removing malware, adware, spyware, etc., with the help of an antivirus. There are three options included in this software, and they are-
- Perform integration of SmartFix in the system recovery environment
- Perform a full recovery of the network settings and restart the computer
- Launch AutoRuns, AdwCleaner, etc.
If you choose the first option, you can start SmartFix from the System Recovery Environment that appears if you press the F8 button when you start the system. From there, it will start working and will try to delete all malicious files so that users can get back to work as quickly as possible.
The second option (full recovery of network settings and restarting the computer) is convenient when an adware or malware has changed your network settings. If you can not use the internet after recovering from an attack, you should use this option. It will perform a complete recovery of the network settings so that you can start using the Internet on your personal computer.
The third option (Launch) allows you to run different programs. You can download and run AdwCleaner, DR. Web CureIt, the ESET Online scanner, the removal of Kaspersky Virus, etc., if you have a valid Internet connection.
