Malware and viruses have grown to be the biggest threat to enjoying and using your computer the way you want. There are so many ways to get infected now from email scams to websites that immediately infect your computer when you visit. Removing malware and virus from your computer is of utmost importance. Using a high quality anti adware and spyware software has helped to clear up my PC of annoying pop ups and increased its speed significantly.

When it comes to battling the nasty effects of infection, you have some arsenals in your war chest that you can use to combat the problem. There are two methods that you can use when removing malware and virus from your computer. Since there are only two choices, you have to decide which one will work best for your situation.

The first choice is an obvious one and that is to download and install a removal tool. This is software that is aimed at removing the infected programs from your computer. There are many different options to choose from. Beware of any email link that promises virus removal from your PC. Read as much as you can regarding the removal software's effectiveness from security experts and other users.

Be advised that these programs may not be fully removed by the removal software. The reason is that programmers have made these types of software attach themselves to crucial files on your operating system that if removed, could damage your operating system. Choosing this route means you have protection from future malware and have removed most of the infection from your PC.

The other option is to start all over again. This is done by cleaning the entire hard drive of everything on it and reinstalling the operating system. While this may sound drastic, this method guarantees the removing of the malware virus from your PC. The downside is your installed programs, unless backed, will all be lost. This will also mean that your computer will be down till you reinstall your operating system and programs.

You should also make sure to have any CDs your computer came with on hand and double check you have all the necessary drivers from the computer's manufacturer before you begin this process. This choice is ideal for any computer that you deem important, one that you bank on or do other personal things on. This method ensures that your PC is clean.

Choosing the right method will depend mostly on the type of computer you have and its importance to you. You can have a business computer where you handle invoices and billing. This is a crucial system that is the ideal situation for the complete re-installation of a hard drive. On the other hand, if you have a home computer that you use to go online but do not use it with any personal information, you should use the malware removing software.

The biggest issue with removing malware and virus from your computer will come in the form of identifying the problem in the first place. Many computer users end up following the same routine. First, they realize that their computer is infected, deciding that the correct action is to download a virus removal tool. This seems to work for a while until something else happens that convinces them that the problem is still not solved. Now they decide to reinstall the operating system and start over again. I am glad that all the spyware, adware and viruses on my computer are all gone now all thanks to high quality software which I downloaded and would highly recommend it.
