Hello friends

A few years ago we were hoping that along with the development of new computing technologies we will get rid of all kind of viruses and spyware. It is true that Windows became safer and the Virus and Spyware detecting programs are better than before. But at the same time Internet became much faster, email and messaging programs are familiar to everybody. The number of Internet users grew enormously and so the virus distribution possibilities. Almost every day somebody calls me about computer problems, when they start to describe what is going on in most cases I recognize an infected computer.
What are the symptoms of infected computer?
In general if the computer is out of your control very likely that it is infected.
The most common symptoms that I've noticed are:
• Computer is slowing down, it is always busy doing something
• Firewall is asking permissions to allow some unknown programs to access to the Internet
• Visible configuration changes are made on your desktop
• Unknown processes and/or programs start when Windows starts
• Some policy changes are made without your notice (e.g. Windows Task Manager is disabled)
• Some essential programs do not work anymore (e.g. Internet Explorer )
• You are getting lots of pop-ups, sometimes very embarrassing ones

Thanks fro sharing us..........

Hi

As soon as you suspect that your computer has a virus, remove your computer from any networks it might be on, as well as from the Internet, so that you don't inadvertently spread the bug to others. Unplug your network cable if you have to.

If you have virus-scanning (anti-virus) software installed, run it.

If you don't have anti-virus software, you'll need to obtain some. If you can't get it from a network administrator or download it from an uninfected computer, you can mail-order it from a retailer.

Thanks
