Symptoms of malicious software

How to detect

Virus symptoms can range from many different things, as you may know already. However, the symptoms usually cause unusual behavior with your computer and often result in the stand user in line with the Geek Squad with their $399.99 (joke apart, but not much) to have their removed virus. Of course, all viruses are not symptoms and some may simply sit in the background on your computer and run at the latest, or simply to save data from your PC as you use it. Personally, I think that the infections are more unnoticed are the most dangerous, because there is no telling what he does while he sits back and eventually you send all your personal information on to the kid No.-life in China.

Backup, backups, and backups more!

In the field of it, backups are very important and generally you will get hammered the day that you say you that you do not need a backup. Although many customers do not have the necessary external storage for backups, there are many services online that will readily provide you remote storage free of charge. If you are of those who do so much work from home or working from home, you should consider research at one of these services. Many people once again, simply do not get involved because they think that computers are simply too advanced for them, and developers are fighting every day make their software and services more user-friendly for this kind of people. Consider storage remote Googling (such as Live Mesh, Google Docs, Exchange, etc.) If your data is critical, or your hard drive will crash on the day that you need for a salary increase (no I am not joking)

What to do after you are infected

To get rid of a virus, you obviously preferable offshore by downloading a virus scanner and scan running on your computer. Many of these companies such as Kaspersky, Norton and McAfee have professional software that will charge you anti-virus, but it is not always necessary. I can't even count how many new computers I have off virus which had test Norton or Mcafee installed by the manufacturer. Does not step to tell these companies suck, but it is certainly not also necessary that clients most would think. Try to use Microsoft Security Essentials, you'll be impressed because it is very easy to use (for anyone who just discarded fingers on a computer today). There are several ways a virus deleting manuals, but it is generally a lot of time and people are often unsuccessful, as they cannot locate paths that contain the source of the infection.
