I think my computer is infected with the W97M/Resume virus. I get to know this when my antivirus software gave the alert message that W97M/Resume virus is detected. My computer is behaving in abrupt manner. I have no idea how this W97M/Resume virus entered in my computer system. Now I want to know how to remove this W97M/Resume virus from my computer system.

W97M/Resume which is detected on your computer system is a worm not the virus. Viruses are designed to corrupt the windows system file that will result in the crash of system. On the other hand worm consumes the memory space and the processing power of the computer system. This consumption results in the slow processing of the computer system. I will suggest you to use any other antivirus software for deleting this W97M/Resume worm from your computer system.
