Malware is a blanket term for any malicious software that has infected your computer. Viruses, Trojans, Worms, and Spyware are all forms of Malware. Because Malware is such a general term, it is difficult to describe one way to remove each type that could be infecting your computer.<\/p>\n

One way to start is to boot your computer into Safe Mode which only runs the software that is necessary. When a program that has a virus is running, it is far more difficult to remove it. Once you are in Safe Mode, you can start a virus scan to help determine whether your machine has been infected or not.<\/p>\n

Regularly deleting temporary files by using the Disk Cleanup Utility is a good idea. Running Disk Cleanup can free up space and should make the virus scan run quicker.<\/p>\n

While this method could help you pinpoint any potential red flags, your best choice is to take your PC or laptop to a professional who can run several software programs to ensure that nothing is overlooked.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
