It is impossible for me to believe that it exists in the whole world macwould one user Windows who has not been in his life computerist internet user problems viruses. I am rather inclined to believe that a large part of these users (including me, several times) have repeatedly acquired such stubborn infections (for those who skipped the introductory phrase, it is about infecting a PC with malware : P) that have hardly left "send away" (it's usually viruses Modify the behavior of the operating system or prevent antivirus installed to function normally, it cannot detect the dangers). For these users - and for those who will follow in their footsteps - the simplest solution to get rid of stubborn viruses is boot Windowsin Safe Mode (how Windowshe only runs processes essential for the functioning of, Thus preventing the release malicious processes) And using a Portable antivirus to clean up the system.
