So, how do you eliminate malware?

You should use malware removal tools, which are available online. These programs have a list of all recognized malware applications, and they check all of the files in your system to their enormous malware database. When the malware app has been located, you can remove it from your system. If the malware app has intertwined itself with some other data file that you might need, you may decide to keep it in place; otherwise simply remove it.

Once it’s in your system, it’s constantly there, and it’ll will probably get worse, but it definitely won’t get better. Thankfully that there are software applications that can help you discover malware and clean it from you computer.

Trust me, as a computer repair guy I can tell you that it is much less costly for you to use a malware detection app to clear up your computer than it is to hire a pro. These are the same methods I use to get rid of malware and now they are available to anyone!

Malicious Software

Malware is a slang term for malicious software. It refers to any type of software program that can enter your computer from either, the Internet or via a disk or CD. Viruses are a type of malware. Spyware, adware, worms and Trojans are also popular types of malware. Usually, it is the Internet malware uses to infect your computer.

Some types of malware enter your PC through your e-mail messages. These types of parasites usually come as e-mail attachments. When you open your e-mail attachment the malware is set loose. This is a very popular way viruses infect computers. Still, other types of malware, namely spyware and adware, simply enter your operating system as you surf the web.

Malware Uses up Your Computer’s Resources

It is important to note malware are types of software. So when you are infected by them, they are running on your computer even though you haven’t double-clicked an icon to open them. When several parasites have infected your computer, they can steal a lot of your computer’s resources. This will make your computer run slowly and any inefficiently.

Your computer’s resources aren’t all malware is out to steal. Malware wants to find out everything about you it can. Some types of malware are only interested in your shopping patterns. Other types of malware will watch over your shoulder as you enter passwords and banking account numbers!

Microsoft’s Removal Tool

Microsoft has developed a malware removal tool. It can be downloaded for free from Microsoft’s website. On their webpage they tell you the malware removal tool helps remove prevalent malicious software from Windows 7, Vista and XP. Though it is a good idea to have this tool, the words help and prevalent indicate it will not give you 100% protection from all types of malware.

For those of us who are interested in being 100% protected from malware at all times it is a good idea to have a top rated spyware cleaner installed on your computer. If you are sure you are not protected from malware, it would be wise to install such a tool very quickly. However, there are some virus cleaners that also protect computers from malware as well. So, before purchasing a spyware cleaner, you might want to check to see if your virus cleaner will give you malware protection.

If you don’t have any virus or spyware protection, both you and your computer are very vulnerable. So, you could install a good spyware cleaner since they actually protect computers from viruses as well. Even if you decide just to use the malware removal tool alone, it will give you some protection, which of course, is better than having no protection at all.

Spyware also known as adware and malware conducts un-scrupulous operations on your computer. Spyware is different than malware, but they both have a common ground in that they are both created with intentions of infecting the user’s computer. Any program that is installed, but does not run properly because it is defective is a form of Malware. These programs are most frequently installed by the user, typically software programs that are found at peer-to-peer applications and of course torrent downloads. One of the most common way is malware gets onto your computer is through Trojan horse viruses and root kits.

Trojan horse viruses got their names because they are very well hidden, and almost un-detectable. You might think these installations are harmless. But what you don’t know is that at the same time, these malware programs are also quietly installing themselves onto your system. Regardless of installation, malware’s ability to conceal itself is the key to malware’s success on your computer, without concealment malware would not have the capability of spreading, and here come the rootkits. Rootkits software is designed to make sure that the malware on your computer remains undetectable.

Rookits have advanced very much since the old days. For example, malware programs can create “twins” of each other, so each time you detect and try to delete, the original malware program quickly starts to replicate itself in order to prevent itself from being completley removed from your system. Gray where is another type of software that will infect your computer system without your authorization.Grayware is not harmful to your computer like malware and spyware are, grayware tends to just be annoying. Unauthorized advertisements on your computer such as pop-ups are a tell tale sign of grayware.

Removing any kind of malicious software is a tedious task indeed, all classified in the same category. Not to mention these types of software can also compromise your computer security, which makes your computer vulnerable to other harmful installations, and possibility of identity theft from sensitive information these spyware programs can be transmitting.

If you are wondering how to stop malware, you must know about the different forms of malware and ways to prevent infections in the first place.

Basically, malware aims to ruin your PC settings and operations while spying on your personal information without your consent. Some of the common types of malware include:

But what has this to do with malware infections? To be honest, everything! Let me show you what the top culprits of malware infections are and it will soon be clear to you what the connection is between the web sites you visit and the malware found on your PC.

Top culprit number 1: Pornographic web sites

Download Spyware Blaster by JavaCool Software and have a look at all the porn related web sites blocked by this program. It is also remarkable to see how many computers with traces of pornographic web sites in their browser history, are often infected with spyware and trojan horses. Unfortunately you will have innocent victims of malware infections, also with traces of pornographic web sites in their browser history, but only because the malware redirected them to these sites. However, people with pornographic material on their computers are not that innocent in this case, pornography does not go out looking for people, people go out looking for pornography.

Top culprit number 2: Illegal music (MP3) and movie downloading sites

These sites normally force you to install special downloading software on your computer so that you can download files from them. These download managers are often bundled with spyware and are trojan horses themselves, downloading tons of other spyware programs while you cheerfully download your illegal MP3′s. They sometimes place tracking cookies on your PC to monitor your browsing habits and hijack your browser to make sure you return to their site or a site of a partner.

Top culprit number 3: Software Piracy web sites

If you love using illegal software, cracks, serial numbers or license key generators (keygens) then you most probably had to remove some malware infections in the past after visiting one of these sites. Most of the people using these cracks are normally technical wizards and know how to disinfect their computers. Many of these sites do not only contain harmful scripts but also fake cracks and key generators, which are nothing else but malware. Some crack developers create a working crack but distribute it with spyware or a trojan horse to make your PC their slave.

Top culprit number 4: Peer-to-peer file sharing programs and networks

The file sharing community is loaded with pornography, pirated software, music and movies. Is it not amazing that everywhere these guys make their appearance you also find spyware, viruses, trojan horses and all kinds of malware? The client software is also often bundled with spyware (or adware as they call it).

The culprits discussed so far are those connected with illegal and indecent activities. People visiting these sites and using these services deserve getting infected with malware. These culprits are also some of the biggest sources of malware epidemics. What flows from the mouth, comes from within the heart. The same rule applies to your computer, those nasty little programs crawling inside your computer is, in the case of culprits 1 to 4, the direct result of your own sinful actions and activities.

The next couple of culprits are caused by negligence and a lack of knowledge about how malware are distributed.

Top culprit number 5: Pop-up and pop-under advertisements

Another culprit that wants to caught you off guard. A pop-up window may appear out of the blue or a concealed pop-under window my load in the background without you even knowing it. These windows can start downloading malicious programs and install them on your computer. They can appear on any web site, not just illegal and other bad web sites. You can prevent these windows from opening by using a secure browser like Firefox with a built-in pop-up blocker.

Top culprit number 6: Fake anti-virus and anti-spyware tools

You visit a legitimate looking web site and suddenly a banner appears telling you that your computer is infected with spyware. You can scan your computer with all the anti-spyware software in the world, over and over again until you are blue in the face, but that banner will keep telling you that your computer is infected with spyware. This is because it is a plain image banner. The site never does a scan of your computer, it is a fixed message that will display on any computer, no matter how clean it is. Simply put, it is a blatant lie! They want you to believe that your computer is infected and that only their software can remove this spyware. If you download and install their software you will only find that it is spyware itself. You may end up infecting a completely clean system with a dirty program, trying to remove the so-called spyware.

A system scan is not a three second process, it takes time, so no scanner can tell you instantaneously that your system is infected with spyware. I do not believe in online scanners, rather use software with a good reputation, a local scan is much more faster. Most online scanners are no online scanners at all, you actually download the whole scanning engine and end up doing a local scan anyway. A real scanner will tell you the name of the malware and its location on your hard drive, if it does not give you this information, then it is fake. Even if it gives you this information, it still does not mean that the software is legitimate. Do not trust everything you see online and stick to well known anti-malware brands.

Top culprit number 7: Free games, screen savers, media players, etc.

No, not every free program comes bundled with spyware, but spyware (once again the developers prefer to call it adware, but it is still the same thing) is often the price you have to pay for the free software. It is normally a ploy to monitor your use of the program, to send the creators statistical data or to collect data about your online behaviour in order to send you targeted ads. If you try to remove the spyware you normally render the main application useless. Read the EULA (End User Licence Agreement) very carefully before installing the application. But everyone knows that nobody reads those tedious, long licence agreements, so use EULAlyzer by JavaCool Software to check for specific keywords and phrases that might reveal any spyware programs being installed or privacy breaching practices that may occur if you install the free software.

Top culprit number 8: Malicious web pages with harmful scripts

But you already mentioned this one in culprits 1 to 3. No, culprits 1 to 3 often have harmless web sites and it is the content you download from the sites that is harmful. But you also get web pages containing malicious scripts, totally innocent looking web sites, like a site donating money for cancer. You go to their homepage and suddenly a script virus strikes your computer. This is what an anti-virus shield was made for, that unexpected attack. Firefox is also designed to prevent harmful scripts and browser hijackers from accessing the system and taking advantage of flaws and weak spots in your operating system.

Top culprit number 9: E-mail

Virus worms spread themselves by forwarding a copy of the virus to all the contacts in your address book. Those contacts that are unaware of these worms will most likely open the e-mail and the file attached to it. But when you open a strange infected e-mail from an unknown sender, then you are guilty of double negligence. For the virus to be activated you need to open the e-mail and in most cases you need to deliberately open the file attachment too. By using a little common sense you will know that strange e-mails from unknown senders are dangerous, especially when they have executable attachments with file names ending with the “exe”, “com”, “bat” or “scr” extensions. Even dangerous e-mails from known, trustworthy contacts can easily be identified if the contents of the e-mail seems strange and out of character. By being careful and responsible when opening your e-mails, you will not only prevent your own computer from getting infected, but you will also prevent the worm from spreading any further.

Top culprit number 10: You the Internet user

What? Me? How on earth can I be a culprit? Well, you are an accomplice in the spread of malware if you do not have an active and updated anti-virus package installed on your computer, if you do not scan your computer for viruses and spyware on a regular basis, if you do not use shields like the TeaTimer tool from SpyBot (which is free by the way), the Ad-Watch shield of Ad-Aware or the resident shield of AVG Anti-spyware (all of which you have to pay for, unfortunately), if you spend your time browsing pornographic and illegal web sites and take part in the sharing of pirated software and copyrighted material (culprits 1 to 4), if you fail to be responsible with the software you install on your PC and the e-mails you open (culprits 6, 7 and 9) and if you refuse to use a secure web browser (like Firefox) built to prevent malware infections (culprits 5 and 8). Yes, I will go so far to say, that if you stay away from culprits 1 to 7 and 9, you probably won’t need any virus and spyware protection at all. Culprit 8 is the only reason why you should have anti-virus and anti-spyware protection, for those unexpected attacks, over which you have no control.

Culprits 1 to 8 are the main sources of malware. Infections caused by them led to the creation of culprits 9 and 10, which distribute the malware even further. Do not turn your computer into a malware paradise or a malware distribution centre. Take responsibility, protect your computer against these threats and prevent the spread of malware.

So, how can this repair be completed?

You need to try malware removal programs, which are available on the Internet. These tools have a list of all recognized malware applications, and they compare all of the files in your system to their huge malware list. When the malware removal software locates a malware app running on your system, it lets you decide if you want to remove it or not. If the malware app has intertwined itself with some other data file that you use, you may want to keep it in place; otherwise just remove it.

Malware may not affect your computer right away, but there may be a time when it will hit. So by running the online malware detection tools, you can stay on top of this challenging problem and protect your computer from any damage.

As a computer tech that fixes PCs all day I know that it is often simpler and more inexpensive to run a malware cleaning program than it will be to employ a computer specialist.

One of the newest programs in this family is one called malware destructor 2011. A new version of an old family of malware generally known as the paladin antivirus”, this malware has been designed with one goal in mind, to get you panicked about the security and safety of your PC and the information stored on it to get you to purchase a copy of the program and you need to remove malware destructor 2011 from your computer fast.

Just like many of these programs this malware gets on your computer through the use of a pop up message that you get when surfing the web. The screen will generally inform you that your computer has malicious programs on it and in order to scan your system and safely clean them off, you will need to perform an online malware scan. Accepting this screen takes you to a web site for the malware program and gives you a prompt to download and install the software.

Once on your PC, in the background a trojan will be installed. This is meant to give you “security updates” for malware destructor 2011 and the messages are designed to look as if they come directly from your operating system manufacturer. Now you can tell it to “remind you later” and the next time you reboot your system you will be prompted again. If you ever hit install the trojan actually takes over operation of malware destructor so that you believe that this anti-malware software is something that companies like Microsoft really suggest you use for your PC security.

From then on, until you remove malware destructor 2011, every time you reboot your PC you will receive so called “scan results” showing many different types of malicious infections on your computer. These results have been falsified, but unless you know what is going on the information your given can be rather scary. You may even purchase and activate the software to protect yourself. Even if you do that, you still get pop up messages and scan results.

The only permanent solution is to protect yourself and to remove malware destructor 2011 from your PC. The way to do this is to download and run a system and registry scanner will keep malware from ever setting foot on your computer again in the future. If you computer is infected with fake anti-malware or is running slow run a system and registry scan now and safeguard it.

So, how do you remove malware?

Malware removal tools are available online. These tools work by running a search of every last data file in your machine, and checking them against their list of identified Malware applications. Once the malware cleaning software identifies a malware app operating on your system, it lets you decide if you want to remove it or not. The most obvious choice provided is to clean the issue, which is exactly what you should do unless the file named is a part of a program that you need to use.

After malware is inside your computer the optimum thing that can happen is nothing at all, but the possibility for rapid tragedy is constantly looming. By utilizing malware sensing software, you can stay one step ahead of the malevolent software and the havoc it intends to do to your system.

And as a PC technician, I can truly tell you that utilizing one of these tools is very much less costly than calling a PC repair guy to come repair the infection.
