Computer Repair In-Focus: Malware Removal and Virus Removal


 If there is one thing that frustrates modern day workers, it is when their personal computers are running slow, or when it is infiltrated or damaged. There are two common things that can do just that: malware and virus. These two things are the pests of the computer age and many computer repair companies are investing on developing malware removal and virus removal programs for protection.

But as they say, prevention is always better than cure. Here are some preventive maintenance tips from computer repair experts.

1.       Do not open email attachments if you are not sure of its contents. Virus and malware proliferate the cyberspace. There are times when you know the sender and feel that it is safe to open attachments from him or her. However, the sender is not aware that he or she is already sending attachments with malware or virus applications. Always do this preventive maintenance tip to avoid computer repair problems.

2.       Avoid using file sharing programs. File sharing is helpful, but because it is hard to locate the source of what you are downloading, you can never safely download anything. Malware removal and virus removal will be in vain if your computer system is always vulnerable.

3.       Related to the second preventive maintenance tip is this one: never download anything from a website that you do not know. You are not sure if what you are downloading is malware free.

4.       Scan external storage devices before connecting them with your PC. USB devices are very prone to malware and virus infections.

5.       Install a program that can help you scan and clean your system. Ask for advice from computer repair technicians as to which of the malware removal and virus removal programs are better than the others.

These are but some tips that can help you protect your computer systems from external threats. Just an additional warning, be very careful of the pop up ads that appear as regular Windows notifications with links that may look like Yes or No buttons. These pop ads appear while you are busy surfing the web. There are pop ads that install malware in your PC so read everything before clicking. You might be caught unaware so better check everything.

For other questions regarding malware removal, virus removal, and other computer related concerns, ask your computer repair man. Asking for some advice on the over-all preventive maintenance of your computer will certainly help, too.
