    How to Remove Malware

    You have several options for solving your problem on how to detect the software spyware on my computer, and one of the best solution is to use software delete software spyware has the ability to perform the complete scan of your system and delete all the software in your laptop malware. You just have to detect is not a problem because there are many programs to eliminate software spyware freely available online where you can just download whenever you want. However, you can not solve the problem if you are only able to detect and you should also need to be able to completely eliminate them from your computer.

    As different types of malware is often difficult to know what kind of infection and how we could have eliminated, which is for many a real mess. Many times to disinfect a computer system with an antivirus is not enough, since there are constantly new threats that make it difficult to remove, here are step by step how to make an effective malware removal. Prevention is a vital point when it comes to protecting our computers against possible infection of some type of malware and for this there are three vital points are:
    • Antivirus program.
    • A firewall program.

    Procedure
    • Restart the computer, but when you shut down the computer and then start, press F8 repeatedly until you exit a screen like this, just select Safe Mode. This option allows you to start Windows with minimal drivers to operate, so that will make it easier to remove the malware for any applications or processes that use it and not initiate.
    • When youre in safe mode, open your antivirus (I recommend Avast if you want a free but a very good payment is eset smart security) Start> All Programs> Antivirus. You have to find some option called analyze and select the hard drives or the whole team in general and starts with the analysis.
    • This may take several hours depending on the capacity of your hard drive and files hosted on it, as well as the RAM you have, to accelerate this process I recommend that you close all applications and only have to analyze the virus, since this consumes 80% of your RAM memory to analyze.
    • With spybot search & destroy also need to do a scan, just before we opened the program on the main screen select Check for updates > select any flag > Download and wait a little and finally press the button Exit. Then you have to go to Immunize and press the button + Immunize. We are now ready to analyze, so we go search & destroy > Analyze problems. When the scan is finished select all that we found and click Troubleshoot.
    • Then you will need to use Ccleaner. Select cleaner > Analyze > when done scanning, press the Run Cleaner button. Clean the registry to do almost the same, the left select Record > Search Troubleshooting > We hope to finish the analysis > select the Repair button selected, we say that if the message is displayed, keep a backup of what we delete (it gives us the option to automatically) > Repair all selected > Close.

    In my system I am using SpyBot Search & Destroy. This is a very nice tool. This software not only remove spyware, but can do other tasks such as scanning botnets (botnets), make modifications to the hosts file, and a secure file eraser, among many others. If you are looking for a much easier then you can go for another tool. This tool is SUPERAntiSpyware. It is available in two versions, one free only to scan on demand, and pay (USD $ 30) that has real-time scanning, protection of registration, a programming service and many other things. Perhaps most important in this application is that it gets along very well with other security applications such as Avira, Kaspersky, Symantec and McAfee.

    It is necessary to first understand that where does the virus files goes. For that combo fix is the best one. ComboFix gets the prize for easiest application, runs in a command window, where you'll spend a little more than 40 stages of scanning, at the end ComboFix sends a log of all malware that could not be cleaned and removed. It is not pretty, but does a good job. It is a free software. Another application for this is malwarbytes. This is an application that has slowly but effective remover of malware. You can go with the trial version of this software.
