Keeping your personal computer Malware free is essential to maintaining it's processing speed and error free operation. One out of three computers is infected with Malware. This causes your computer to slow down, bring up advertisement pop-ups, disable your current antivirus, and leave your computer free to external attacks. If you notice that your computer is taking a long time to boot up, shut down, or bring up programs such as Internet Explorer, or Microsoft Office – your computer is infected with Malware.

Did you know:

  • No antivirus protection software is 100% effective against keeping computer Virus free.
  • Malware is a term used for addressing all types of computer infections – Viruses, spyware, Trojans horses, rootkits, and adware.
  • It is not recommended to install two antivirus programs such as AVG and Norton on the same computer, due to the possible conflicting circumstances.
  • Making sure that your current antivirus program stays up to date is the easiest way to keep your computer Malware free.

The simplest way to begin your computer cleanup is by running a free online antivirus scan. The following scans are designed to scan your computer hard drive(s) and search for known infections.

Unfortunately online scanners may not run properly with all versions of Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome.

Next step would be to download and run a free Virus removal software. Most of free antivirus programs are either based on a 30 day trial, or have been modified to include only the basic virus monitoring features. Think of it as buying a Volkswagen Beetle with just the base options, as opposed to buying the same car with base options plus power windows, power sunroof, and air conditioner.

AVG Anti Virus is one of the most widely used free anti malware programs

As a last resort, you may refer to your Internet Service Provider’s (ISP) technical support as most carry their brand of full version antivirus software that you can download for free.

If all fails and your computer is still slow, programs fail to open, and you’re getting many unwanted pop-up ads – you still have Malware infections.
