Malware & Virus Removal
What are Viruses, spyware,
adware and malware?
Malware is a collective term that denotes
all viruses, spyware and adware.
Any program that is installed or loaded knowingly or unknowingly that has a hidden
purpose or effect that is not made known to you, is malware.
Malware is a term coined from the words malicious and software.
These pieces of executable code are written by various people for various reasons,
some of which include data theft, computer take-over, activity logging, spamming
and
other nasty things. There is a wide range of malware and taking care that you have
the proper protection software, the correct web surfing habits and
an operating system that is up to date is an absolute must. If you don't do
these things to protect your computer and the data it holds, in this day and age,
it is an almost certainty you will get malware at some point. Malware, also,
ranges in difficulty of removal. Some malware can be removed
with little or no harm to your system, but others can leave your computer unusable
and\or
be almost impossible to assess if the malware has truly been removed. So be careful
and
make sure you back-up your data, have the appropriate protection software installed
and
that all software\hardware is up to date. Schedules to perform updates and
back-ups can greatly enhance your effective maintenance, security and computing
experience.
