How do you remove malware?
Malware can be very harmful to your personal computer so firstly you need to scan your PC frequently with a strong virus detector such as AVG or Avast to see if the threat still remains, then to be on the safe side, I would strongly recommend an anti-malware software, specifically designed to get rid of dangerous malware. The most popular is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. It's also important to back up your files regularly in case you happen to encounter a virus that got into your computer before you had any anti-malware support or was able to hijack your computer via the Internet. In the case that you didn't back up your files and you don't want to buy a new computer or sacrifice all your important files, (eg. pictures, documents...) there are programs that are specially designed to cure certain viruses, provided that you know the name and/or problem.
