1. Download and install a reputable antivirus software program. There are many on the market, both free and paid.
2. Open the program and select the option to perform a full system scan. This may take some time depending on the size of your hard drive.
3. Allow the scan to run. The antivirus program will check your system for any viruses or other malicious software.
4. If the scan finds any viruses, it will prompt you to take action. Usually this will involve deleting the infected file or quarantining it so that it cannot spread or cause further damage.
5. Once the scan is complete, it’s a good idea to run the scan again to make sure that all malicious software has been removed.
6. Finally, make sure to keep your antivirus program updated as new viruses are constantly being released.
