How to remove malware from a laptop

0 views

Disconnect from the internet. Boot into Safe Mode (Windows: hold Shift while restarting; Mac: hold Shift during boot). On Windows, open Windows Security and run a full scan with Microsoft Defender. Install Malwarebytes as a second-opinion scanner. On Mac, run Malwarebytes for Mac. Delete any suspicious programs from Settings > Apps. Clear your browser extensions and reset browser settings. If malware persists, you may need to reinstall the operating system.
