what are the first step needed when your system is attacked by virus

Iam going to share about the first important steps to prevent the system,when the system is attacked by virus.(these steps also helps to improve your system performance and speed)

1.Go to taskmanager(by pressing ctrl+shift+esc or alt+ctrl+del).
2.Go to the process tab.
3.Now you have to find the unwanted .exe files and end process that.
some tips to find these unwanted .exe process
*Find the .exe process runs under your username(but not as system/local service/network service).
*then ignore the process such as explorer.exe,antivirus process(for example if you install avg it runs as avgtray,wuauclt),applications name.
*then endprocess all other unwanted .exe process for example: regsvr.exe,autorun.inf,etc..
4.Now go to start->search then search for .exe,.inf files in your computer and delete the unwanted files.
