There are many things out on the interne that could hurt your computer and maybe even you. I am talking about Malware. Malware consist of Viruses, Spyware, and other dangerous software. This software could steal your private information, slow down your PC turning it into a weapons to hurt others. This article is not to scare you, but to help you stop your self from getting bit.
How To Prevent Yourself From Being Bite
You are your best defense. The tips below will help you.
Always update Windows, Anti virus software and other software that you use when updates are released.
Do not click on links in emails that your not expecting. These links could take you to sites that could install Malware on your PC.
Do not download software, music, etc from illegal file share sites.
What To Do When You Think You Were Bite
If you think you are infected by some form of Malware you can do the following to see if you are infected.
Change any passwords to personal information as soon as possible, such as banking sites from another PC.
Turn off System Restore.
Do a Disk Cleanup if you can. This will cut down on the amount of time a scan takes, and get rid of some files that might be infected.
Run a full scan with the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool To do this
Click on the <Windows Key> and <R> together, type MRT, press enter and follow the wizard.
Run a full scan with your Anti-Virus software.
Run a full scan with an online virus checker. All of your major Anti virus software companies have one on their website. I suggest using at two online scanners. Some of these online scanners consist of
Trend Micro’s Housecall , which is at http://housecall.trendmicro.com/.
Kapersky’s Online Scanner, which is at http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus.
Norton Security Scan, which is at http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/WelcomePage.asp.
Eset’s free online scanner, which is at .http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/.
Bitdefender’s Online Scanner, which is at http://www.bitdefender.com/scanner/online/free.html.
If you get a clean bell of health from at least one online scanner, your Anti virus program, Microsoft’s Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool then you are probably safe. If your PC acts very strange then I suggest that you backup your data, and re due your PC. This needs to be done from a good known source, like you System Recovery Disc.
