Review of malware removal tool::How to Use Mcafee's Virus Removal Tools








Since               2006,               Spyware               has               become               the               biggest               security               threat               to               computers               running               on               Microsoft               Windows               systems.

According               to               a               survey               taken               by               the               National               Cyber               Security               Alliance,               over               80%               of               home               PC               users               have               Spyware               installed               on               their               computers               unknowingly.

So               what               does               it               do?

At               best,               it               could               bog               your               computer               down               to               very               slow               speeds.

At               worst,               it               steals               your               personal               information               and               often               hands               it               over               to               a               third               party.

So               how               does               it               get               there?

Sometimes               it               comes               pre-installed               on               your               computer,               but               the               most               common               way               is               by               downloading               from               an               unreliable               source.

The               most               popular               downloads               that               bundle               Spyware               are               screen               savers,               toolbars,               and               torrents.

However,               sometimes               you               can               get               infected               from               a               reputable               source               too.

They               will               ask               you               if               you               would               like               to               install               optional               programs               which               often               contain               Spyware.

Once               you               are               infected               by               one,               you               have               a               higher               risk               to               become               infected               by               even               more.

The               safest               bet               it               to               always               run               a               reputable               anti-virus               program,               but               again:               we               will               see               more               potential               threats.
               The               companies               that               produce               spyware               are               also               now               producing               free               Anti-Virus               programs               and               Anti-Spyware               programs               that               appear               to               be               legitimate,               but               are               actually               fake.

They               will               claim               that               you               are               infected               with               many               viruses               when               in               fact,               you               are               not.

The               idea               is               that               you               will               be               scammed               into               buying               their               anti-virus               program               which               will               only               add               to               your               spyware               problem.

These               types               of               programs               are               also               called               Scareware.

You               can               look               at               reviews               on               any               program               that               you               might               have               doubts               about               at               http://cnet.com.
               So               -               How               do               I               remove               the               Spyware?
               1.

First               of               all,               make               sure               to               consider               getting               a               good               Anti-Virus               platform               and               make               sure               to               update               it               regularly.

They               are               the               first               layer               of               protection               against               malicious               software.

Free               versions               get               the               job               done,               but               there's               a               reason               why               they               are               free               (and               you               run               the               risk               of               downloading               a               "fake"               anti-virus               program).

I               would               reccomend               Avast!

or               Avira               Anti-Virus.
               2.

Start               by               downloading               Microsoft's               Malicious               Software               Removal               Tool               at               http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.aspx.

Make               sure               you               install               all               updates               for               the               best               results.

Note:               The               program               is               designed               to               find               only               the               most               common               spyware,               but               is               an               important               starting               point.
               3.

If               you               were               unable               to               find               any               traces               of               Spyware,               it's               time               for               a               full               virus               scan.

As               I               noted               earlier,               Avast!

or               Avira               Anti-Virus               are               the               best               free               versions               that               I               am               aware               of.
               4.

Quarantine               any               entries               that               the               virus               scan               has               found               to               be               a               threat.

This               will               make               the               files               inactive.

Follow               up               on               any               recommendations               that               your               anti-virus               scanner               has.
               5.

If               you               still               run               into               problems,               it               could               mean               that               you               have               become               a               victim               of               browser               hijacking.

Malware               will               sometimes               change               the               settings               on               your               browser               which               will               allow               more               malicious               software               to               be               installed               on               your               computer               without               you               being               aware.

The               best               way               to               deal               with               this               is               to               download               a               program               called               HijackThis               at               http://free.antivirus.com/hijackthis.
               6.

HijackThis               generates               a               log               file               that               lists               common               locations               where               browser               hijacking               activity               can               occur.

It               can               be               confusing               for               a               novice               to               understand,               so               users               usually               post               their               logs               onto               forums               for               assistance               in               ending               their               malware               problem               once               and               for               all.

A               good               forum               to               post               your               log               at               is               http://forums.majorgeeks.com.

Be               sure               to               be               kind               when               creating               a               post               about               your               HijackThis               log,               and               be               prepared               to               follow               their               directions.

You               will               be               asked               to               keep               posting               updated               logs               as               you               complete               their               steps               to               see               if               the               malware               is               responding               to               the               forced               removal.

When               they               finally               see               that               your               log               looks               clean,               they               will               notify               you               on               the               forum               and               you               should               be               ready               to               surf               the               web.
