Malware Removal Starts With You -By Ador Talukdar

An ounce of prevention is said to be worth a pound of cure. That means that if you prevent an illness from occurring then it is better for you, and will cost you less, than if you wait until you are sick and go to the doctor to get the illness cured. We all know that doctors and medication cost a lot of money, and we also know that sometimes the doctor cannot save us.

The computer can be thought of like a human body. Like humans the computer can be infected with a disease and have to go to a computer "doctor". Taking your machine to a computer specialist can be very expensive. At the very least, taking your machine in to the repair shop will mean that you have to do without the device for several days until the repair technician has time to look at it and make the repairs.

If you want to prevent this from happening then take the precautionary measures to prevent malware from getting on your machine. The first thing that you can do is make sure that you have a firewall in place and that it is operational. A firewall that is disabled is as useless as teats on a boar hog. The teats on a boar hog cannot produce any milk and the firewall that is disabled cannot stop a virus from coming into your system.

The second thing that you do in order to prevent computer "doctor" visits is install antivirus software and use it. Installing the antivirus software is crucial, but using the software to detect and quarantine infectious diseases is critical. You are talking about life and death situations when you are talking about viruses that attack your computer system.

Antivirus software allows you to perform scans on your computer looking for bugs that should not be there. These scans are like search and seizure missions. The software opens every file on your computer and looks at every tidbit of data to try and find hidden enemies. Once found they will immediately destroy the enemy if they can.

If your antivirus finds malware that it does not know it will quarantine the threat until it can discover how to remove the threat safely. Removed improperly some malware applications can attack the integrity of your system and leave your computer unable to function. You should be aware of these things.
