How to remove fake antivirus infections and optimize Windows with Anvi Rescue Disk
Use the bootable USB flash drive creator that you get and create a bootable flash drive. Or you can actually burn a CD. If you don’t have .ISO burning software, try to find one, like for example ImgBurn. When the CD or USB drive are created, restart your computer and set it so that it boots from either CD or USB.
In the left two tabs are available, the Scan where you can scan for infections and Repair for system repair. On the image above we’re scanning the computer. Infections which are found can be deleted or you can set to trust them.
When virus scan finishes, move over to the Repair tab and check your computer for any damage that might have been made to filesystem, settings or registry. Errors will be fixed. When you are done, reboot and boot your Windows installation, which should now be virus free and super fast.
