Malware is a common source of headaches nowadays. Wikipedia defines Malware as : “Malware, short for malicious software, is software designed to infiltrate a computer without the owner’s informed consent. The term “computer virus” is sometimes used as a catch-all phrase to include all types of malware, including true viruses.” Other types of malware include viruses, spyware, Trojans, key loggers, root kits, and fake-antivirus programs.
We remove malware almost every day and we truly are experts in the field. Luckily, most malware only destroys Windows and not your user data so most likely, if you have an infection, your personal files are probably still ok. In most cases it’s totally possible to completely remove all malware from a system without having to do erase the hard drive and reload the operating system. Still, sometimes a total erasure of your hard drive is the only solution for very bad infections.
The best way to remain clean or reduce the impact of an infection is to have an up to date anti-malware application running at all times. There are plenty of good antivirus/antispyware products out there and we can suggestion some to you. We highly recommend and sell Eset Nod32 Antivirus. It’s a very capable product and doesn’t slow your computer down like Norton or MacAfee products tend to. If you need a copy of Nod32 you can purchase directly from us and we will support the product if there are any problems.
