Virus Protection, Scan, Removal. Best Antivirus Protection for Computer and Mobile Device (Cannot use antivirus software)

There are different types of computer virus, but this type can be considered the most dangerous computer virus. Win32/Sality.AT is a malware which deletes everything it finds, by turning it into a shortcut file. It infects everything, even files stored on USB or external Hard Drives that came in touch with the computer and if you connect them (the external Hard drive and USB) to another computer and open one of the shortcut (malware-infected) files, you will infect that computer as well. 

The best way to get rid of this infection is via Safe Mode (click here to learn how to boot into safe mode), while all the pieces of software are "asleep."

Once you are in Safe Mode, follow the steps below:

1. Delete the antivirus (if) you had installed before and download one of the following utilities (up to you which one): Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, Junkware Removal Tool, AdwCleaner;
2. Install one of these three pieces of software (or another one) and run a Full/Deep scan, which you should NOT interrupt;
3. Once the scan is completed, delete (quarantine) the viruses and restart the computer.
