A Simple Method of Clearing out Weaker Viruses

Ok. Your computer's been infected with a virus. What do you do?
#1. You can search Youtube for a specific guide on the virus you have (usually works pretty well)

#2. My method

1. Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from another computer onto a USB/storage device (preferably 500mb or larger)
Download @ : http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?tag=mncol;1
(Linked to Download.com, has been verified to be safe.)

2. Run setup and install Malwarebytes on the storage device/USB. It would be a good idea to activate the program if you can - through a serial key found off Youtube. But it seems as though most of those videos have been removed, but maybe you'll get lucky? (make sure to not use Keygens or any of those videos that require you to download a file to get the serial key. They are usually viruses) If you can't find any, it'll still work fine.

3. Update the Malwarebytes program

4. Start up the infected computer in Safe Mode.

5. Connect the USB/Storage Device containing Malwarebytes Anti-Malware on it.

6. Run a full scan with the device. And delete the viruses after it's done.
