Posted by: admin  :  Category: computer freeze up

I know why you are here reading this article. Your Windows PC is acting up on you. You think that there is something wrong with your PC but you just can’t put your finger on it. Let me tell you what is wrong with your PC.

What do you know about adware and spyware? These malicious programs infects your PC. They can delete your data or steal your personal information. When you are in doubt about the security of your PC, adware and spyware removal should be considered important. There are a lot of programs you can download if you want to get rid of adware and spyware from your system.

How can you learn if your PC is infected with spyware? The initial thing that you will notice is extreme slowness of your PC. You either have disk fragmentation or spyware infection if you have a very slow computer. Remember that adware and spyware are also programs. These programs install themselves in your PC so that it can spread itself in your system.

If you notice any unauthorized or unfamiliar program launch itself during start up, this is a sign that your PC is most probably infected with adware and spyware. When a malicious app starts up, it will be very hard to remove. I’m not saying that it is improbable to remove it. As we continue, I will show you how you can remove these things from your system.

You are infected if your PC starts emailing other people in your contacts. I remember the time when I was surfing the Internet and my firewall was alerting me every few minutes that Outlook was sending email to people in my address book. You can stop unauthorized emailing by disconnecting but it makes your PC useless.

This is where malware scanning software can help you. Put a good spyware scanner in a USB drive and then scan your infected PC from it. Using a USB drive will help get rid of the malware that prevents scanners from starting up in your local drive. Using a USB drive, scan your system with it. Follow the instructions carefully – if the scanner wants you to restart, then restart your PC as soon as possible.

If your PC is extremely slow, you may already be spyware infected. When there is no real reason why your computer slows down to a crawl after just a few minutes of use, the real culprit must be malicious code operating in the background. You must be careful when you surf the web by updating your OS often and using spyware scanners.

Make Your PC Perform Better By Getting Rid Of Adware

Posted by: admin  :  Category: computer freeze up

I was just into a few weeks of using my Windows when it started acting up. A lot of pop-ups and pop-unders started appearing on my desktop without my permission. My PC started slowing down it almost felt like walking in mud.  This got me worried so I asked some of my techie friends, “how to make my computer faster?” They always answer that to make my computer run faster I have to learn how to get rid of adware. So I ask them, “how do I remove adware?”

“And what the heck does removing adware had to do on how to make my PC faster?” I was such a newbie to computers back then that I don’t even know how to make my computer faster. So eventually, one of my techie friends showed me some articles about viruses, spyware, and adware. “Okay,” I told him. “I know all about adware, now. But how do I get rid of adware in my Windows machine?”

Removing adware requires a lot of commitment and time, my friend told me. Exasperated, I yelled at him, “So how do I remove adware in my PC?” My friend shrugged and wrote on my notebook some tips and tricks that he sued to get rid of spyware and adware.

Here are some of his tips and tricks:

1. Boot into safe mode in Windows and remove any suspicious and weird programs from starting up with your Operating System.

2. When you press control-alt-delete you can view the programs and background processes in your Windows PC. Look at the processes and determine if there are weird or unfamiliar processes running in the background. You can have one of your techie friends to look at the processes running in Windows. After you isolated the suspicious program in your processes, you need to remove it from your system and prevent it from starting with Windows. See step one to prevent suspicious programs from starting up.

3. Inspect your registry and remove any suspicious items in there. Warning! I do not recommend a newbie to hack the registry. Registry hacks can really damage your Windows install beyond repair.

Now here is the real secret. Even new or older Windows users alike use this secret.

4. Use registry scanners and anti-malware scanners to completely remove adware from your system. Just install a scanning program and do a full scan of your hard drive.

If somehow your Windows won’t allow you to install anti-spyware, don’t worry, this is the adware working to block scanners from your system. What you need to do is use a USB pen drive and put in a portable version of the registry and adware scanners. You must be 100% sure that your USB drive is not infected with viruses and spyware.

Using the USB drive, do a full scan of your Windows machine. Hopefully, the first scan will detect all the adware infection in your PC. After the first full scan, reboot your PC and do a quick scan just to make sure you are really adware free.

Even if we are just a bunch of PC newbies, we can still protect ourselves from adware and make our computer run faster. It’s not just the techie people who can monopolize security. There are tools out there that can level the playing field for the newbies and the technological elite.
