How to Remove the JS/Wonka Virus

The longer a JS/Wonka virus stays, the more viruses may join it.

The JS/Wonka virus can be difficult to identify since you cannot predict all the damage it might do. This is because, unlike a virus that itself attacks your system, JS/Wonka is more of a gateway virus, impairing your computer security settings to allow any number of other viruses to come through. For this reason you want to remove a JS/Wonka virus as soon as possible, along with any other viruses it has already brought with it.

Things You'll Need

• Malicious Software Removal Tool

Instructions

1. Run Microsoft's "Malicious Software Removal Tool." To do so, open your Start menu and then click "Run." Type "MRT" and hit the "Enter" key. This application comes already installed on Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 computers. If for any reason you cannot run the repair tool, download a new copy of it from the link in Resources.

2. Click the button labeled "Next."

3. Select "Full Scan." While this takes longer than the default "Quick Scan," it gives a better chance of removing a JS/Wonka virus.

4. Click the button labeled "Next." Wait for the program to complete the full scan of the infected PC.

5. Follow the prompts that appear to remove the JS/Wonka virus along with any others the tool finds.

6. Click the button labeled "Finish."

7. Restart your computer.
