Hey all, basically what the title suggests, got a laptop at work, obviously the person who had it before me has put a virus on there somehow.
now i cant take it home with me 2 sort the problem out as its against the rules and no internet at work as i work in a betting shop.
Its important i get rid of the virus though because i use a memory stick to transfer between home pc and work laptop.
Any ideas?
 
Download Malwarebytes, and try that...

What is the viri ?

Surely the works Tech boys should be dealing with this though...?

i wouldnt use any software as the laptop is for commercial use

u end up getting sacked using unlicensed software on it

all depends on how big a company u work for i suppose and how serious they consider it

if they get caught using unlicensed software then usually it is 20k fine and confiscation of equipment

just make sure u got solid AV on your home pc

If you are reasonably PC savvy then have a look here pal.....

UBCD for Windows

Once finished you will have a bootable disk that contains a working windows installation but also several big name antivirus utilities. You can boot the lappy from the disk and then clean the hard drive.

This util has saved me many times.
