Thank you for this helpful resource. It helped me to cure a horrible situation within my game. I have spent the last six months working on an amazing game titled "The Absolutely Crazy Murderer". This morning, I was working on it as usual (It is the weekend so I don’t have to go to school). Suddenly, when placing another free model, I was infected by seemingly hundreds of malicious scripts.
These scripts turned all the meshes within my game into a mesh of Spyro the Dragon. My game is titled "The Absolutely Crazy Murderer" not "Spyro the Absolutely Crazy Dragon" so I had to find a way to get rid of these meshes. Additionally, I doubt that Spyro the dragon would do anything to hurt people, he is a friendly dragon who just wants to collect gems!
I searched on Google for a guide on how to remove ROBLOX viruses from my game, and I found this guide. I read it and went on to install an anti-virus. I found one called ‘RaiderX’s Anti-virus’ and installed it. I restarted ROBLOX Studio and loaded up my game. I tried to navigate to the ‘Plugins’ tab, but my mouse had frozen.
Suddenly, all the meshes of Spyro the Dragon warped their neck and turned to face me. I screamed for my mom but she did not answer. What was going on? I went to my door but the doorknob was gone. I looked back at my screen and the dragons had opened their mouths, hungrily, expectantly: I knew what I had to do.
I rushed to my dresser and dug through an old box. After feeling around for a bit I managed to grasp it: a big red gemstone. I had collected it from a limited edition copy of ‘Spyro: A Hero’s Tail’ that I got from a creepy yard sale. twisted to face my computer monitor but was met with horror. Spyro the Dragon himself was sitting on my desk. His butt had crushed my keyboard and mouse. He grinned at me, showing his fangs. His dark eyes pierced my soul. I dropped to my knees and held out the gemstone.
Spyro spread his wings and flew elegantly towards me. I could feel his hot breath on my head. I heard a chilling growl as Spyro snapped his head towards me, swallowing the red gemstone whole. After swallowing the gemstone, Spyro looked at me expectantly. “MORE!”, he screeched. “I-I… I don’t have a-any more…” I stammered. Spyro shot me an angry look and growled, “Well then, YOUR SOUL SHOULD DO!”.
Spyro leaped towards me. Using my nimble frame, I weaved under the purple beast and ran towards my computer. I could hear Spyro roar as he galloped towards me. I quickly grabbed what remained of my mouse and wiggled it. My monitor suddenly glowed and showed me ROBLOX Studio. My game was replaced with what looked to be Hell itself. Thousands of Spyros trotted around the flaming red landscape.
I gulped and quickly navigated to the plugins tab. Now, Spyro the Dragon was bounding towards me with the power of a gorilla. I tapped the red icon that was captioned “RaiderX’s Anti-virus”. I felt Spyro’s fangs grip my neck and I screamed. Everything went black.
I woke up in my bed and rubbed my eyes. I suddenly remembered what had happened and clumsily went to my computer. Was it all a dream? I wiggled my mouse and my monitor again glowed to life. It showed ROBLOX Studio, but this time a message was displayed on my screen ‘Virus removal completed! 5402 threats removed’. I again saw my game. It all seemed normal. Except for the lobby. In the corner of the lobby sat a sculpture of Spyro the Dragon.
I guess it goes to show how easy it is to get a virus in your ROBLOX game! From now on, I’ll use less free models, but I’ll always keep an anti-virus handy, just in case!

| That's a lot of text... Anyway use all the free models you want, just go to explorer, search for fire light or script and delete anything you don't want. It may be tedious but it's quite easy if you clear a toolbox model of viruses and stuff that you don't want before you copy it. |

TLDR
You should have asked someone to assist you in the scripters forum. I would have copied all the things I know don't have any malicious scripts inside them. Then revert the place back to its earlier state and paste the copied things.
Or I would have taken the time to write a script that checks all objects in the game and removes those malicious scripts one by one.

| Checking every part in the game still makes it laggy in studios, and takes a while to load. Best to just delete them. |

Makes it laggy? It really shouldn't, the script doesn't do much. If it lags for you, you might be doing something wrong with your script.

| Sorry, I'm usually trying to lower lag as much as possible in my games/scripting. It's not that significant but if you were to clone a model with viruses, even if disabled, it will add that tiny +.00001 second of lag. And in a huge game that could maybe make a difference. |
