Spyware, adware, malware and viruses are the plague of the IT world and computer users around the world. As a IT professional I have spent hours upon hours removing these bugs off of pc’s. I always have users asking me “how did this happen”, “what did I do”, in the end the fact is users need to be aware of their actions, the websites, the visits, the links, the click and emails they open. One of the best tools I have found to remove these vicious attacks is Ad-Aware Free Antivirus +. This tool is free and you can just download it from the internet. There are a lot of tools out there, Malwarebytes is usually one of the first ones I run. One thing you will learn is that sometimes you will find yourself running two or three applications to remove these infections, nothing is full proof unless you re-format and re-install the Operation system. The next time you find yourself having issues, try Ad-Aware.
