Can my lap get Virus if I just plug a USB containing virus

Hi Basithkle, my name is Ferdinand, I am an Independent Advisor.

There is a small chance that your machine is infected with the virus.

Just to be sure, please try to scan your Windows PC with Windows Defender or your current AntiVirus software. If it comes out as zero or did not detect any then you are all safe.

Or you can perform an extensive scan, follow the steps below.

Lets try downloading the free version of Malwarebytes, it is a freeware that you can use to scan, detect and delete viruses like the one you currently have.

You can download the free version from this link

Once installed please make a full scan. You may remove this software once you are done with it.

And follow these additional steps.

Open up the Task Manager by right clicking the task bar, on the Task Manager window click on more details below then look for the open process associated with the pop up, if you cant see it in the process tab go to the details tab and look for that process then if you see right click it and then go to file location and then once you have located the file delete it.
