Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/22/2011 -- What:When PC users boot up their systems and get nothing but a black screen, they know something is wrong and will probably try a variety of steps to get their computers running again. But what if these don’t help? Users might be looking at nasty malware infections that messed with the systems’ boot files. In this situation, it’s time to take Microsoft’s System Sweeper for a spin.
Microsoft’s System Sweeper is a bootable recovery environment that cleans viruses, rootkits and other malware infections from systems without users having to boot into Windows. It works on essentially all PCs with a FAT32 or NTFS file system, so users should even be able to get Windows XP or 2000 PCs back into shape.
On its blog, TuneUp explains how PC users can run System Sweeper to get rid of malware in no time. The company provides users with step-by-step instructions on how to run the software and burn a bootable System Sweeper CD (or put it on a bootable USB thumb drive) to get their machines up and running again.
Who:Any PC user with Windows 7, Vista, XP or 2000 who is looking to quickly get rid of malware. The tips are easily understood by anyone, regardless of technical background.
