Amazing. I come home from 12 hours of work and find my Dell E510 hit by the
Extra Antivir virus.

Two questions - how do I get rid of it? Is there a free program? And - what button do I hit to load up the screen that lets me do a facotry restore? F1 - F12? Which one? It's a Dell
E510.

If you're referring to that bogus virus/spyware thing, google for smitrem and look at malwarebytes.

Between the two of them you should be able to clean it up.

The hotkeys for factory image restore are CTL+F11, but I wouldn't wipe the system just to rid it of a couple of bugs.


Thanks. I downloaded and scanned with Malwarebytes and restarted. It seemed to get
rid of it. So, can I be 95% certain that it's gone?



MWBAM is a great program. Yes, you can be pretty darned sure the bug is gone if that program found it/removed it/and subsequent scans did not find additional traces.
