Mal-ware & Virus Removal
What are Viruses, spyware, adware and mal-ware?
Mal-ware is a collective term that denotes all viruses, spyware and adware.
Any program that is installed or loaded knowingly or unknowingly that has a hidden purpose or
effect that is not made known to you, is mal-ware.
Mal-ware is a term coined from the words malicious and software. These pieces of executable or
spreadable code are generally written by various people for various reasons, some of which include
data theft, computer take-over, activity logging, spamming, and other nasty things.
There is a wide range of mal-ware and taking care that you have the proper protection software,
the correct web-surfing habits, and a operating system that is up to date is an absolute must. If you don't do
these things to protect your computer and the data it holds, in this day and age, it is an almost certainty you will
get mal-ware at some point. Mal-ware, also, ranges in difficulty of removal. Some mal-ware can be removed
with little or no harm to your system, but others can leave your computer unusable and\or be almost
impossible to assess if the mal-ware has truly been removed. So be careful and make sure you back-up your data,
have the appropriate protection software installed and everything is up to date. Schedules to perform updates and
back-ups can greatly enhance your effective maintenance, security and computing experience.
