    How malwares installed in windows

    Hi,
    Every time virus is the main issue in my computer. My desktop computer runs on Windows Vista and the other one on Windows XP. I play games online. Many times I have to visit some sites which are untrusted. But still I ignore the warning due to some patches. I believe this is causing the malware attacks in my computer. How malware installed are installed in my computer and how to find them. I am not engaged with the antivirus application.

    Malwares are detected mostly in Hijackthis. You can track the service in which they are working and then remove them. Malwares enters you system and generates a registry keys. This keys makes them to run automatically. The infections then goes on increasing and then crashing your windows. The best way to clean up your system is to clear the registries. A registry editor will do.
