How To Get Rid Of a Computer Virus

How many of us are on our computer and you click on something you want to see and you wait and wait and wait? What is going on? So you hit escape on your keyboard or keep on clicking on some other program. Now everything seems like it is frozen. So you simply reboot the computer and you get the same result. We might have a virus! A computer virus is a harmful computer program which will damage files or your computer, and which is able to duplicate and spread itself within a computer or computer network. Usually the computer virus is hidden within a program, file or document. Sometimes while we click on a website or download a file that we found on Google or yahoo we downloaded a virus. From the Internet this abuse comes from hackers and virus creators. Their sole intent is to cause chaos and/or harm to your computer system and millions of other computer systems all over the world. How do you combat this? You need an Internet security system. First, you need to always be in a control of your actions as clicking on any links in emails from places such as Amazon, PayPal, and Ebay which you would not be expecting otherwise, if you do that that could be a possible threat to your security system There is a few things that you can do to get rid of these problems. Uninstall Unnecessary Software. Use Microsoft Disk Cleanup Utility. Use Windows Update. Clean Your Registry. Defragment Your Hard Disk. Reduce Your Startup Selections. Buy More Memory. Viruses are the first and last word in computer infiltration. Simple ones simply tie up your computer, whereas complex ones can do virtually anything to an unprotected computer. No one should browse the web without good antivirus software! I have really looked into some anti-virus applications and came across one that has tested virus removal programs. Some of them are great, most of them get the job done (more or less), and too many simply don t work. Check out my Blog spot and let me know what you think!
