Virus, Spyware & Adware Removal

More and more computer users are finding computer viruses and unwanted stealth programs operating on their machines that perform all sorts of annoying functions. These programs often display unwanted ads, change browser default homepages, add programs to the system tray and, in some cases, collect personal information. These programs are installed without meaningful consent and are almost always very difficult to uninstall or disable. They draw computing power away from your other applications making your computer sluggish and unstable.

Symptoms of Viruses, Spyware & Adware

Sluggish Computer: If you've noticed that your PC has had a serious drop in its responsiveness lately it could mean that spyware is draining its computing power.

Locked Out:  You turn on your computer and nothing happens.  Or your files have been corrupted or completely erased.  Viruses are abundant and there are new variants zipping through the internet and infecting removable disks every day.

New Favorites: Spyware will often add "favorites" of its own to your browser's favorites' folder. If you notice an unusual amount of new favorites and are not sure how they got there, spyware may be to blame.

Bogus Mail Sent:  Your friends, family and colleagues are wondering why you're bombarding them with strange mail attachments or advertisements for porn or cheap prescription drugs. Thousands of emails are being sent from your computer. But you didn't send it, your email client has been hijacked by a virus or trojan. 

Fishy Pop-Up Ads: The really hard part about spotting adware symptoms is that they often appear to be normal Web or computer operations. Many legitimate Web sites provide pop-up ads in exchange for free services or software that you use. In many cases pop-ups from adware software is designed to appear to be served up by the Web site you're visiting. So, you may not recognize them as a symptom. There's no way to be sure but if the content of the ads seem strange, they may be from adware. But if you're getting pop-up ads when you're not surfing the Internet, it's very likely that they are being served up by adware software.

Change of Your Default Homepage: One of the oldest spyware tricks is to automatically change your Web browser's default or start-up homepage. This is the Web page that appears when you start your browser or click the "home" button.

Unauthorized 1-900 Number Charges: If your phone bill charges you for 1-900 phone calls you didn't make, you may have fallen victim to a particularly devious form of spyware. These programs will hang-up your normal Internet connection and instruct your computer to dial a 1-900 number -- silently.
