Computer viruses are getting sneakier and sneakier. If your computer is running slower than usual or you are getting unexpected pop-ups when you are not online, you may have a virus or malware. Some viruses are not detectable even with state of the art technology. Even worse, you may download a program to remove the virus, only to have more malware installed on your computer. It is important to have proper virus removal software to ensure that your files and identity are safe.
Many computer users do not update and run their anti-virus software often enough to keep their computers completely free from viruses and other malware. Most people should be running at least two different programs to keep their computers virus-free. Use the scan at least once a month, after ensuring the software is updated. This should protect you from most computer viruses.
If your computer does get infected with a virus, running free virus removal software may not be enough. The spyware could be deactivated, but the virus could still be embedded in the root drive. It is important that you not leave any trace of the virus. A qualified computer repair technician has specialized software to ensure that the virus is deleted from the root drive of your computer so it cannot be reactivated. Even if a virus does not seem to be disruptive, it can still be stealing your files and information.
Once your computer is clean, the technician can assist you in preventing another infection. They can make recommendations about the software that will work most efficiently for you, ensure your firewalls are properly configured, and keep your computer and network secure.
