Dallas Computer Repair- Virus Removal Tip

PC Virus Doctors' Dallas Computer Repair consistently receives machines, whether desktops or laptops, that owners do not know how to effectively remove malware. Anti-virus software installed on owners machines often will not detect the most recently released viruses, trojans, adware and spyware. Other defects of anti-virus programs are that they become corrupt with malicious software installed surreptitiously by websites or downloaded programs.

A very effective alternative to installed anti-virus programs are online scanners from well-known anti-malware vendors such as Trend Micro that specialize in malware removal. These online scans eliminate the need to question whether the installed malware removal tools are corrupt and unable to remove unwanted issues. The online scans will scan portions of the computer or the whole system and will allow users to choose to delete the items from the drive.

The advantages also include the fact that the online scanners are the latest up-to-date virus signatures, uncorrupted scanners and the ability to accurately detect malicious items on the computer. If the online scanners cannot remove the unwanted items at least they will have identified the malware and possibly the location where the software resides on the drive.

An important note for virus removal is that each tool or scan that can eliminate just one piece of malware brings the machine one step closer to becoming a virus-free machine. Contact PC Virus Doctors' Dallas Computer Repair for a thorough hard drive cleaning.
