Even at its most innocuous, for instance when it’s presenting unwanted advertising, malware should be resisted. For one thing it’s impossible to easily tell relatively harmless from downright evil. But in any case, who wants their computer or internet clogged up with totally unwanted junk? By its very nature malware is hidden and difficult to sniff out - usually some specialist software is needed to help out. If you’re not sure if you have malware on your pc, it’s a good idea to assume you have. There’s a fair chance that removal is needed for everyone who has ever downloaded anything from internet! There are plenty of spyware and adware removal tools on market. They tend to offer simple menus from which you can choose to scan individual elements of your computer, such as registry, cookies or currently running programs. As with all software that search for latest developments by malicious programmers (like antivirus software for example), main thing you’re looking for is a company that keeps its development up to date. Ask yourself ‘how new are their internet updates?’ And because Malware removal utilities rely upon keeping up to date, you’re looking for software that makes it easy to have updated files downloaded from internet to your pc easily or even automatically.

7. One simple way to avoid infections Obtain software from reputable sources. Downloading a service pack for Windows NT from Microsoft's web site is a very different proposition than downloading a freeware disk utility from a company you've never heard of, on a site in a province of former Soviet Union. You use common sense – for instance, beware of Automatic Downloads – take care when using programs that download and run update patches and programs automatically. While in most cases these will not be a problem, having downloaded software run automatically without virus checking exposes you to potential problems in my opinion. Regardless of where you get your software even shrink-wrapped CDs from a reputable supplier, ALWAYS scan it for viruses BEFORE you execute program or installer.

8. A second simple way to avoid infections Control your network connections and access to your computer. You could limit access just to those who have a need - fully 80% of damage caused to information systems is caused by action taken (either accidental or deliberate) by an employee or friend, and not from outside sources.

9. Be safe rather than sorry Make sure you have backups for all your files. Backups are essential not only to safely recover from virus infections, but also to recover from other threats to your data (such as a hard disk failure or a major coffee spilling accident).

10. Use quality virus protection software Last, but certainly not least, use good quality market leading commercial virus protection software packages. The primary benefit of using top commercial software is frequency and ease of updating virus definition files that these programs use to detect viruses. With new viruses popping up all time, unless your protection software is kept updated (daily and automatically), you become ever more vulnerable to infection.
