您的 Windows 10 计算机的运行速度是否比平时慢？您是否看到以前没有的不同弹出窗口？
如果是这种情况，您的手上可能有受恶意软件感染的 PC。有一些方法可以检查。本文将教您如何在 Windows 10 中扫描您的 PC 以查找恶意软件。
Windows Defender的
第一个合乎逻辑的起点是Windows Defender。它不仅免费，而且每次购买Windows 10时都会附带。它使用起来也很简单——使其成为不会超越主流网站的普通用户的理想解决方案。
它通过扫描广告软件、间谍软件和病毒等威胁来工作。打开Defender将阻止恶意软件造成任何重大损害。
打开 Windows Defender
打开Windows 设置(Windows Settings)。转到更新和安全(Update and Security)> Windows 安全(Windows Security)。在保护区(Protection Areas)下，选择病毒和威胁防护(Virus & Threat Protection)。
将弹出一个新窗口，其中包含安全选项列表。单击病毒和威胁防护(Virus & Threat Protection)。现在单击病毒和威胁防护设置(Virus & Threat Protection Settings)。如果当前处于关闭状态，请转到实时保护并将其切换到打开位置。(Real-Time Protection)
激活后，
Windows Defender将自动扫描您的计算机以查找恶意软件。最新版本的Windows Defender在(Windows Defender)Windows 7或 Windows 8上不可用。
Windows Defender 够用吗？
简短的回答是否定的——如果您正在寻找更强大的解决方案，则不会。如前所述，Defender对于普通用户来说已经足够了。但是，如果我们谈论的是纯粹的性能，那么有第三方解决方案可以提供更多保护，并且可以进行微调以满足特定需求。
在 Windows 10 中诊断恶意软件
还有其他方法可以诊断Windows 10计算机中的恶意软件。下面(Below)只是一些。
安全模式
PC 有一项称为安全模式(Safe Mode)的功能。当您通过此模式启动 PC 时，只会加载基本程序。阻止恶意软件启动。(Malware)如果您的计算机在安全模式下(Safe Mode)运行速度更快，则您可能存在恶意软件。
要访问安全模式，请转到开始(Start)>电源(Power)。在按住Shift键的同时，按Restart。计算机重新启动后，您应该能够访问
安全模式(Safe Mode)。
您想在安全模式下(Safe Mode)删除临时文件。转到搜索(Search)并键入Disk Cleanup。它是一个免费的实用工具，包含在Windows 10中。这将帮助您在快速扫描后删除旧文件和可能的恶意软件。
第三方扫描仪
如果您觉得您当前的防病毒解决方案无法应对挑战，也许是时候考虑安装当今市场上众多恶意软件扫描程序之一了。
其中一些解决方案是免费的，而另一些则需要付费。有一次性购买，而其他则是基于订阅的。一些防病毒软件比其他软件工作得更好。确保您安装的是强烈推荐的并且来自信誉良好的公司。
浏览器设置
恶意软件可以更改您的浏览器设置。例如，恶意软件可以更改您的主页设置，以在您打开浏览器时启动旨在提取信息或显示广告的网站。
您需要尽快检查您的设置，以防止浏览器启动烦人的网站。
微软边缘
要修改
Microsoft Edge设置，请转到设置和更多(Settings
and More)>设置(Settings)。在Open Microsoft Edge With
下拉菜单下，选择A Specific Page 或 Pages(A Specific Page
or Pages)。
检查列表中的URL(URLs)并删除不熟悉的域。
谷歌浏览器
打开 Google Chrome 并转到自定义(Customize)>设置(Settings)。向下滚动并找到On Startup。选择打开一个特定页面或一组页面(Open a Specific Page or Set of Pages)。
从列表中删除不熟悉的域。
重新格式化你的电脑
有时用户被迫重新格式化他们的计算机以删除恶意软件。但在此之前，请确保备份重要文件（如果您仍然可以这样做）。
转到设置(Settings)>更新和安全(Update & Security)>恢复(Recovery)。在“重置此电脑(Reset This PC)”下，选择“开始使用”(Get Started)。您将看到两个选项。Keep My Files将重新格式化您的计算机，而不会删除您的文件。删除一切(Remove Everything)都会这样做 - 删除所有文件。
注意：(Note:)如果您删除所有内容，则删除恶意软件的可能性更高。但是，这样做有删除文件和设置的风险。
按照屏幕上的命令操作，直到Windows 10提示您重置 PC。
How to Scan for Malware in Windows 10
Is your Windows
10 compυter performing slower than usual? Are you seeing different pop-ups that
weren’t there before?
If these are the
cases, you may have a malware-infected PC on your hands. There are ways you can
check. This article will teach you how to scan your PC for malware in Windows
10.
Windows
Defender
The first logical
place to start would be Windows Defender. Not only is it free, but it also
comes with every Windows 10 purchase. It’s also simple to use — making it the
ideal solution for your average users who won’t go beyond mainstream sites.
It works by
scanning for threats like adware, spyware, and viruses. Turning Defender on
will stop malicious software from doing any significant damage.
Turning
on Windows Defender
Open Windows Settings. Go to Update and Security > Windows Security. Under Protection Areas, select Virus & Threat Protection.
A new window will
pop up with a list of security options. Click Virus & Threat Protection. Now click Virus & Threat Protection Settings. Go to Real-Time Protection and switch it to the on position if it’s
currently off.
Once activated,
Windows Defender will automatically scan your computer for malware. The most
recent iteration of Windows Defender is not available on Windows 7 or Windows
8.
Is
Windows Defender enough?
The short answer
is no — not if you’re looking for a much more robust solution. As mentioned
earlier, Defender will be enough for the average user. But if we’re talking
pure performance, there are third-party solutions out there that offer more
protection and can be fine-tuned to meet specific needs.
Diagnosing Malware in Windows 10
There are other
ways of diagnosing malware in a Windows 10 computer. Below are just a few.
Safe
Mode
PCs have a
feature called Safe Mode. When you boot a PC through this mode, only the
essential programs are loaded. Malware is prevented from launching. If your
computer performs faster while in Safe Mode, there’s a chance that you have
malware.
To access Safe
Mode, go to Start > Power. While holding the Shift key, press Restart. After the computer reboots, you should be able to access
Safe Mode.
You want to
delete temporary files while in Safe Mode. Go to Search and type Disk Cleanup.
It’s a free utility tool that’s included in Windows 10. This will help you remove
old files and possibly malware after a quick scan.
Third-party
scanners
If you feel like
your current antivirus solution isn’t up to the challenge, maybe it’s time to
consider installing one of the many malware scanners in the market today.
Some of these
solutions are free while others you’d have to pay for. There are one-time
purchases while others are subscription-based. Some antivirus software work
better than others. Make sure you install one that’s highly recommended and
comes from a reputable company.
Browser
settings
Malware can make
changes to your browser settings. For example, malware can change your homepage
settings to launch sites that are meant to extract information or display ads
whenever you open a browser.
You need to check
your settings as soon as possible to prevent browsers from launching annoying
sites.
Microsoft
Edge
To modify
Microsoft Edge settings, go to Settings
and More > Settings. Under
the Open Microsoft Edge With
drop-down menu, select A Specific Page
or Pages.
Check the URLs in
the list and remove the unfamiliar domains.
Google
Chrome
Open Google
Chrome and go to Customize > Settings. Scroll down and locate On Startup. Select Open a Specific Page or Set of Pages.
Remove the
unfamiliar domains from the list.
Reformatting Your PC
There are times
when users are forced to reformat their computers to remove malware. But before
you do, make sure you back up important files if it’s still possible for you to
do so.
Go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery.
Under Reset This PC, select Get Started. You will be presented with
two options. Keep My Files will
reformat your computer without deleting your files. Remove Everything will do just that – remove all files.
Note: There’s a higher chance of
removing malware if you remove everything. However, you do so at the risk of
deleting files and settings.
Follow the
on-screen commands until Windows 10 prompts you to reset your PC.
