One fine (or terrible) day, you try to access your browser and go to some kind of web page. Yes, even in a regular search engine. And what appears before the eyes? Warning "The site ... may threaten the security of your computer. The page from the site is trying to download malicious code from the infected Gvapp.ru". How to remove this trouble? After all, restarting does not help and the problem remains.
What you should not do
First of all, we have a choice: to contact a specialist or try to solve the problem of how to remove the Gvapp.ru virus ourselves. If you try to contact the official website of an anti-virus with this problem, you will be given the following recommendations:
- Disable all antiviruses.
- Download AVZ and execute the following script "Script text" on it.
- Send a verification log to us.
What will you achieve in this way? Firstly, after disabling all protection, the virus can penetrate deeper into the system, and this, of course, is undesirable. Secondly, the answer will still not come to you. As with any technical support service, in most cases you will simply be "shrugged off." Therefore, you only have to deal with the problem yourself, and more serious than before.
Therefore, you must either immediately bring the entire computer to a specialist so that he does everything, or delete Gvapp.ru yourself. How to get rid of it in this case, read below.
First attempts
If you have antivirus installed, then do a full, in-depth scan of your computer. Download on another machine Dr. Web Cure It. This utility βfreezesβ the entire system on a PC while a virus scan is in progress, thus, the efficiency is much higher than that of other treatment programs.
If that doesn't work, try installing a different browser. Check if it works. If it also issues a warning, then the problem is not in the application, you can proceed immediately to the next paragraph.
So, installing a different browser helped you, but are you so used to the previous one that you don't want to refuse? But he is still infected with Gvapp.ru. How to delete? You can try the following methods, but none of them will give a 100% guarantee of success.
- Go to your browser settings. Open the plugin and extension management menu. Now turn them off one by one, after each check to see if the browser is working. If after the next shutdown the pages began to load, then delete this plugin immediately.
- Did the previous method not help? Try reinstalling the browser. But in no case do not save the old settings. The virus can switch to a freshly installed program when they are imported.
Third Party Utilities
Alternatively, with the help of special programs you can try to cope with Gvapp.ru. How to remove and how? These utilities are not antiviruses, but they specialize in the search and neutralization of such add-ons. You can download and test your computer with AdwCleaner. It has a simple interface; no special knowledge is required to manage it.
As a fallback, you can suggest using applications such as SpyHunter and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. With their help, you can remove applications that clog the system in general and the browser in particular.
Remember that these programs are advised by different users, so there is no guarantee of their effectiveness and never will be.
Problems
In case of serious problems and inability to roll back the browser, you will have to resort to a method that is not available to everyone.
Launch the Start menu - "Accessories" - "System Tools" - "System Restore". If you have recovery points created, try rolling back the system. Theoretically, this should help in the fight against Gvapp.ru. How to remove it if all of the above methods did not help? Unfortunately, most likely you will have to reinstall the entire system. This virus has not yet been studied, the problems that arise when it gets to the computer can not be easily solved.
