[@ULTIMATE_THRILLER_TV]

Excellent question! Once spyware has been detected, follow these steps:
delete Suspicious Processes: Open Command Prompt and delete the spyware process using the following:
taskkill /PID [ProcessID] /F
Replace [ProcessID] with the ID of the process that you located.
Delete Suspicious Files: Open Command Prompt and then delete the spyware file using the following command:
del /F /Q "C:\Path\to\file.exe"
Remove Startup Entries: Open Autoruns, then uncheck or delete suspicious startup programs.
Delete Scheduled Tasks: Open :
schtasks /delete /tn "TaskName" /f
This will delete scheduled tasks that were set up by spyware.
Thanks for pointing that out. This video was primarily focused on showing how to detect spyware because detection is the crucial first step.
