Virus Removal

Common viruses

01.

Traditional virus

Trojan, keylogger, worm, and boot are just a few types of virus. They can all make their way on to your system and make your IT life a misery.

02.

Malware

Malware is very common, with social engineering often the cause of infection. Often these programs come from infected websites that you have visited.

03.

Ransomware

One of the new types of infection. Ransomware can hold your data hostage and make the system unusable until a ransom is paid. But would you hand over payment details? Regular (off machine) back ups are essential for your protection against this type of attack.

04.

Spyware

Logging everything you do and sending it who knows where. Infections like this can steal your personal information without you being aware.

05.

Junkware

Usually comes in the forms of programs offering a free system tune up or promising to ‘optimise your registry’.

06.

Toolbars

These can cause your web browser to run slowly, redirect you to infected web sites or send information to 3rd parties. Just don’t be tempted to download them.
