Spyware and Malware Removal

There is a misconception that spyware and malware is easy to remove.

Some spyware and malware CAN be easily removed.

However, not all malicious programs can be removed – or even detected. Many programs integrate so deeply into the operating system that it takes a skilled technician several hours to fully diagnose and remove the malicious program. In some extreme cases, there is no alternative but to wipe the hard disk clean by deleting all of the files on it and re-installing the operating system.

Obviously this is NOT an ideal situation. Unfortunately there are some malicious programs that are so intelligent that there is simply no other way of removing them.

You can use Spybot or Ad-Aware as a first attempt at cleaning your machine; however, if you continue to notice that your computer runs slow, if you continue to get crippling pop-ups, or any other of the tell-tale signs discussed earlier, you will need to seek the help of an experienced computer technician.
