Do you think your computer has a virus? Have you noticed signs of virus or malware infection like your PC running very slowly, or stopping responding frequently? If so, you have to remove the program as quickly as possible to ensure that your computer runs as it should, and that the virus does not corrupt or delete data on your system. In this article, read how to effectively remove virus programs and malware from your PCs.

Anti-virus programs

Even for experts, removing a computer virus program can be difficult without the help of a malicious software removal tool or an anti-virus software program. The best anti-virus security programs help to remove viruses and also to offer email protection, firewall security and protection spyware. Download an anti-virus program If you do not already have an anti-virus program installed on your PC, download the latest edition/version of the software and run the program. There are many free anti-virus programs available on the internet, including AVG home, McAfee and Avast as well as anti-virus software available for purchase such as G Data, Norton and Kaspersky. Update your anti-virus program If you already have an anti-virus program installed on your PC, update the program by clicking the "Update" button from your anti-virus user interface. This will ensure you have the latest anti-virus edition/version with the latest computer virus definitions running on your program. Perform a full system scan Once you have updated your anti-virus program, do a full system scan to identify and remove the virus programs on your PC. From your anti-virus user interface, click the "On-demand Scan" button and select the option “Full System scan" instead of the "Smart" or "Quick Scan" option to initiate the full system scan. A full system scan will help to identify and remove computer viruses from your system.

Remove other malicious programs

After you have removed virus programs from your system, you may also want to check and remove any other malicious programs (malware) which may have come with the virus, particularly internet related malware such as Trojans, Worms, Adware and Spyware which your anti-virus might have missed. Remove other malware Download and run a malware removal tool, such as Ad-Ware Free Internet security suite, SUPERAntiSpyware or ComboFix from the internet. Check Malware removal tools and remove malicious computer programs, and give network protection which will help in protecting your computer from harmful programs. Do a full system scan of your PC again, using the malware removal tool. In most cases, your computer will be pretty clean after these steps and you will get optimum system performance.
