WHAT TO DO IF YOU SUSPECT YOUR COMPUTER OF BEING
INFECTED
If you suspect that your computer has been infected, use the System Restore Wizard to neutralize the consequences of
malicious activity in the system. Kaspersky Lab recommends that you run the Wizard after the computer has been
disinfected to make sure that all threats and damage caused by infections have been fixed.
The Wizard checks whether there are any changes to the system, such as the following: access to the network being
blocked, known file format extensions have been changed, the toolbar is locked, etc. Such damage can have various
causes. The latter may include the activity of malicious programs, incorrect system configuration, system failures or even
incorrect operation of system optimization applications.
After the review is complete, the Wizard analyzes the information to evaluate whether there is system damage which
requires immediate attention. Based on the review, a list of actions necessary to eliminate the problems is generated.
The Wizard groups these actions by category based on the severity of the problems detected.
The Wizard consists of a series of screens (steps) navigated using the Back and Next buttons. To close the Wizard once
it has completed its task, click the Finish button. To stop the Wizard at any stage, click the Cancel button.
To start the System Restore Wizard:
1. Open the main application window.
2. In the left part of the window, select the Tools section.
3. In the right part of the window, click the Additional Tools button.
4. In the Additional Tools window that opens, click the System Restore button.
