If your computer is infected with a computer virus, your best bet is to contact a professional to have it removed. Why? Well, it is all in the way computer viruses operate.
What About Antivirus Software?
Antivirus software is good for removing a computer virus from your system; however, as we covered in our last article, antivirus software is only as good as its last software update. To make matters worse, some antivirus software, including some high level name brand antivirus software will only update your database free of charge for a certain period of time such as 90 days. Then you have to pay a monthly fee to be protected.
Are we recommending that you do without antivirus software? Not at all. In fact, if you don’t have any sort of anti-malware software on your system, you should get it installed quickly. What we are saying is that you just want to make sure you get your computer in for a checkup to remove any viruses and malware that may have been missed.
Computer Virus Removal: Can’t I Take The Virus Out Myself?
If a computer virus merely created one file and one directory, it would be a simple matter to remove the files yourself. However, that’s not how malware works. Malware scatters itself throughout your system, infecting directories, registry keys, and other pieces of software that affect the way your computer operates. You could delete one file and/or folder, only to find that there were dozens or hundreds that you missed.
That’s why you contact a professional instead. They can find the pathways that a piece of malware made on its way through your system. A computer tech acts like a doctor, repairing damage caused as well as eradicating an infection as well. So remember, call in a service that specializes in computer virus removal.
