The exact procedure varies depending on the infection. Typically, the computer will be booted into safe mode, which prevents many kinds of malicious programs from running. It is then scanned using antivirus and antimalware software to detect and remove the malicious programs. In some cases, the computer may be so severely infected that this is not possible; as a last resort, files from the infected computer may be backed up to another drive, and the infected computer's hard drive will have to be erased. Then, Windows (or whatever operating system) is reinstalled on the drive. After the backed up files have been scanned on another computer to ensure there are no infected files in the backup, they can be replaced onto the clean computer. (If the files in the backup are damaged or infected and cannot be fixed, those files will also have to be deleted.)
