Malware

Malware is becoming a growing problem on the internet. So what is malware, it comes under these classes; computer virus, worms, Trojan horse and so on and can be very damaging if left unchecked.

This is becoming a big threat to many businesses that use and access the internet on a daily basis. If your computer is infected with malware then you have a very big chance of also being infected with some form of computer virus as well.

In the battle against malware I have found that programs such as spyware doctor are very affective against these threats. Spyware doctor has one function and one function only and that is to eliminate and block any further attempts to have your computer infected with spyware adware or malware.

I have used other programs that perform all tasks such as firewall, anti-virus and spyware scanning but there have all been left behind by all the programs that are specifically designed to combat malware or spyware. The same can be said for anti-virus and firewall programs.

If you do however feel that there is a problem with your computer and your initial scans have not detected any malware or spyware I would suggest running these scans up to three times. If you are still coming up empty try downloading another spyware removal program such as spyware doctor, you get a 30 day free trial.

Many of the home computer owners and even businesses that I have spoken with believe that they are safe from this adware, spyware and malware threat as they have their firewalls and anti-virus programs installed, and unfortunately some even use free versions of these programs to ensure their protection.

Most anti-virus programs and Firewall programs do not stop spyware, malware or adware. If you have been living under this myth then you need to scan your computer for Malware today.
