Virus
and Spyware Removal
Does your computer
seem sick? Malicious software may be to blame.
This malicious software may be in the form of a virus, adware or
spyware. Many users are not really interested in the actual difference
between them - the mere fact that they can wreak havoc on your system
and result in anything from poor performance to a complete computer
failure is enough to know they need to be avoided!
What
is a virus? A
virus is a program that gets loaded onto your computer without you
knowing about it and potentially causes your PC to stop functioning
and result in data loss. A virus can create and run multiple copies
of itself. Most people don't realise they have a virus until their
computer starts to run slowly, even such a simple virus is dangerous
because it will quickly use all available memory and bring the system
to a halt. Some viruses are also capable of moving across networks
and bypassing security systems to infect other computers.
What
is adware? Adware
is usually loaded onto your PC when you download or install a free
program. Many free programs are provided free because they rely
on the built-in advertising to generate sales. Adware will not usually
affect the performance of your computer, nor will it result in any
data loss...but it can be extremely annoying to be inundated with
advertising and pop-ups!
What
is spyware?
Spyware
and adware are different to viruses because they do not create copies
of themselves and spread, nor do they result in data loss. The most
common symptom of a spyware is that your computer will start to
run very slowly and have trouble connecting to the internet. At
times these programs may invade your privacy and attempt to share
your personal information by transmitting it across the internet.
The explosion in Internet usage has seen an ever increasing number
of these threats emerge - making it an absolute necessity for every
PC to be protected. While it is very easy to protect yourself from
the threats it is a much more complicated task to 'clean' a computer
that has been affected, as the saying says "prevention is better
than cure".
Virus
Scan
Scan your PC to check for virus vulnerability and other security
threats. Because hard drives and connection speeds vary, we recommend
that you do something else while waiting for this scan to run. Get
a cup of coffee, do a load of laundry, and check back later for
the results. If security threats or exposures are found, contact
MHz Solutionz.
