Some viruses may disable your virus scanning software or reconfigure it to allow certain viruses in. For that reason, at least one virus scan will be done from a remote machine. This will ensure that any virus that may have infected your computer are not inhibiting your Anti-Virus software. Sometimes viruses damage the Windows operating system files and resulting in catastrophic damage to your operating system. While repair is possible with sufficient time investment, a more cost effective approach is to backup your important data when possible, format the hard drive and reload the operating system. In general, spyware is any technology that gathers information about a person or organization without their knowledge. On the Internet, spyware is programming that is put in someone's computer to secretly gather information about the user and relay it to advertisers or other parties. Spyware can get in a computer as a software virus or as the result of installing a program. Spyware usually does no damage other than making your system run slow and poses a threat to your security and identity. Data collecting programs that are installed with the user's knowledge are not spyware but act the same way. If the user fully understands what data is being collected and with whom it is being shared. |
