Question

This dialogue keeps showing on my desktop. Any idea of how to resolve this?

Answer 1

Hi Divyangani

Open Windows File Exporer

Navigate to:

C:\Users\Divyangani Sharma\AppData\Local\comd

If the file semi.vbs exists:

Right click it and open it in Notepad

Replace all the contents of that file with:

Wscript.Quit

If the file does not exist in that folder, right click and choose New - Text Doument

Put this text in that file: Wscript.Quit

Then click File - Save As

At the bottom of the save as dialog, set save as type to *.*

Save the files as semi.vbs

Note you must enter the vbs file extension youself

Restart your PC

Looks to be leftovers of a virus.

I recommend the following 2 things:

Scan using Malwarebytes:

Perform a Windows Defender Offline Scan:

Answer 5

Try running these programs:

MBAM free: https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/

Eset online scanner: http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/

Adwcleaner: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-a...

If these do not fully remove the virus/malware then it will be wise to register with a malware removal site to receive dedicated malware removal instructions, an expert will remain with you throughout the process until confirmation that your PC is 100% clean.
