Spyware Malware Removal
Viruses - A virus
is a small piece of software that piggybacks on real programs. For
example, a virus might attach itself to a program such as a spreadsheet
program. Each time the spreadsheet program runs, the virus runs, too,
and it has the chance to reproduce (by attaching to other programs) or
wreak havoc.
Spyware - Is typically placed
on your system by visiting websites and installing software. Typical
signs that you have spyware You have a lot of popup windows when
visiting the web or just logging on to your system.• Your homepage has
changed to a different site. • You notice a major drop in system
performance. • Your anti-spyware or antivirus utility stops working. •
You go to search for things and your search page has changed. New items
appear in your favorites. • In many cases there are no signs and it is
running silently recording your actions. Words of warning,
though, Spyware can sometimes be integrated tightly into software that
you use, and if you remove the spyware, that software may not function
correctly. So be careful as to what you remove.
Worms - A worm is a small
piece of software that uses computer networks and security holes to
replicate itself. A copy of the worm scans the network for another
machine that has a specific security hole. It copies itself to the new
machine using the security hole, and then starts replicating from
there, as well.
