Anti Virus

Boot sector virus removal can be a very difficult and tricky business as these are some of the most evil and difficult kinds of viruses to find and remove. They lodge in your boot sector, the part of your computer that is responsible for loading or “booting” the rest of it, so that as soon as your computer is turned on, the virus is already loaded into memory.

This can be a big problem, because a cleverly designed virus  can convince your computer that there is no virus at all when it loads. The best way to cure this problemis to make a backup “clean” disk. This disk loads your computer when you stick it in the drive, so it is not loading from the boot sector, which has been contaminated by a virus. This way, you can load your computer virus free, and then clean the virus off of it.

The best way to prevent boot sector viruses is to switch operating systems away from Microsoft Windows although in all fairness this is not recommended . Windows is the only system which is commonly infected by viruses. They strike macs and linux machines, almost never at all. This is because windows is has been described as poorly programmed by a number of experts.

If, for example, you get an email with an attachment, it is designed to automatically open the attachment and to follow its instructions even if they put your computer in danger! Mac OS and Linux both have safeguard built in to protect you from these problems, but Microsofts main aim appears to be whether or not their system looks pretty and they are making money.

Anti virus isn't the only protection you might need on your computer. You need spyware removal as well. Spyware is a little like viruses, but much less harmful. When you visit certain websites with spam, they will put a program in your web browser which keeps track of your information and sends it back to them. It follows what websites you go to, what you buy, etc., and uses it to market things to you. It also slows down your computer and opens pop-up windows which you don't want to see repeatedly, which is very distracting and annoying.

Some adware can even devert your web browser, sending you to websites you don't want to see, and stopping you from getting to the ones which you are trying to get to. Fortunately, these harmful nuisances are easily removed using one of any number of commonly available adware removal programs
