In search of an antivirus that can fix my files.

Tags: Security

A while back, my wife downloaded something my laptop was introduced to a virus. I’m not sure what it is called but it doesn’t show the data when transferred to any other device.

For example, I have the data on my hard disk. Now when I copy files and folders to an external drive, it doesn’t show it in the external drive when plugged in to another computer.

I would highly appreciate if someone could help me with it. Unfortunately, the virus has corrupted some of the important files and our wedding pictures as well. Please advise a suitable antivirus that can fix this thing.

@tcavadias could you please assist?

I would suggest running a deep scan with malware bytes to find and quarantine all the malware-infected files in your system.

After that run a Ccleaner scan to clean and speed up your PC.

I would also recommend installing adblocker on your browser to get rid of annoying malvertisements and annoying pop-ups while browsing the internet.
