Free your Computer from Deadly Viruses | Information Technology

Spyware generally is a kind of a program that steal, collect, and transfer personal information of the computer users to the spyware programmer (By using Mail, Text, Fax, etc). Spyware is derived from adware. Spyware activity is definitely same as adware. One of them is advertise content to the computer users suddenly while users is working. The difference between adware and spyware is, adware just advertise/promote ads and not dangerous for computer. Spyware is advertise/promote ads and also steal the personal information of computer users.

  • The characteristics of virus-infected computers
  1. Unknown message shown suddenly
  2. System performance decreased drastically
  3. New unknown files created in system drive or data drive
  4. Program setting changed

Turn off the autorun

Virus is usually came from portable media (Such as, CD/DVD, Flash Disk, SD Card) that have autorun turned on. Generally, virus use file autorun.inf to spread it?s self. Autorun.inf is a script file that demands a portable media/storage media for automatically run common commands based on the autorun.inf file. We can change the script of the autorun.inf file to run a commands based on script written on autorun.inf. So the virus can change the script also. If the users run a program that listed on autorun, it can be viruses or the link to a website that contains forbidden contents.

To turn off the autorun, you must go to Policy Editor. The steps are like this :

  1. Open gpedit (By clicking,Start > Run > typegpedit.msc)
  2. Go to Local Computer Policy > Computer Administrative Template > System (I?ts located on the left-side)
  3. In the right-side, doube click Turn off Autoplay.
  4. Click radio button Enabled and choose All Drives on Turn off Autoplay Drop-Down.

Or if you don?t want to turn off autorun, I still have the altenative solutions. If you are very confused and bored to doing those steps above, you can try Panda USB Vaccine, Super Autoruns, USB Write Protector, SUPERAntiSpyware, Spyware?Terminator, USB FireWall,?and WinPatrol as alternative software for prevention of virus, worm, and spyware spreading. Those softwares above are available on Downloads page if you want to download it.

Antivirus

As we know, until 2012. Antivirus still used as virus eradication. If the antivirus detect one or more viruses on a file or on your computer, it will notice you and ask you to take some actions to the infected files or computer. Usually, antivirus ask you to do some actions. Such as, Repair, Delete, and Move to quarantine.

Some free antivirus that best for you and can you download for complete free, such as Avast Free Antivirus, Avira Antivirus, PC Tools Antivirus, Rising Antivirus, and AVG Antivirus. That all antivirus is recommendation for me. You can download another antivirus that match for your computer. Those antivirus above are available on Downloads page if you want to download it.
