   Guide to Remove a Computer Virus

Computers have become essential for business, communication, and pastime. That's why most people own a computer in their home and office. You are surfing the web and the whole world is at your fingertips. However, it becomes annoying to sit back only to find your system uncooperative to your commands. You are exposed to the spyware, adware and the viruses. Oh! Those troublesome Trojans! Increase your knowledge on computer viruses and spyware to fare well in the web.

 

A virus is a self-replicating malware (malicious software) that spreads by inserting copies of itself into other executable code or documents. Viruses and spyware only damage your software. There is no physical damage to your system. Viruses overwhelm and waste computer resources. In modern times we get as much threat from spyware as we get from viruses.

 

Precautions against Viruses and Spyware

  • Uses virus-scanned disks, drives and diskettes

  • Setup the latest firewall on our computer.

  • Install an advanced anti-spyware on your computer.

  • Never open the suspicious mails.

  • Install a reputed anti-virus and update it with latest patches.

  • Better work with Linux or Unix OS if you can manage.

  • Use Firefox and/or Opera other than the Internet Explorer.

  • Change the preference of your browser to the highest security.

  • While downloading audio/video files be careful, these are major sources for spyware.

 

Steps after a Virus attack

  • Try to back-up the data.

  • Disconnect your PC from the network.

  • Run an advanced antivirus (or anti-spyware, if infected by Trojan horses)

  • If your PC does not work at all and all your hard drives are badly injected, then run virus scan with a Live CD or Live DVD (OS running from a CD or DVD).

 

If your data and network establishment is very crucial and you need immediate restoration of your computer environment, then just make a call to Serverplex Onsite for immediate virus and spyware removal.
