Without your permission your system can be infected by Malware, a form of virus. It spreads within the system without your authorization, like rooting through files on your system, or executing something vulnerable like deleting crucial system data files, leaving you wondering what's going on. Other forms of Malware are called Trojans, backdoor programs that may compromise your protection and security. Many times you feel as if all is lost and for the moment it may very well be, but you can get rid of these infections in many ways.

Now the question is how to do it? The answer is online malware removal tools. These programs explore and check every file in your system against their database of known Malware applications. During scanning, if it detects any program, it makes a list of possible problems, and once the scanning is over, you have to decide what to do with the files detected. Out of the many options (such as delete the file, quarantine it, etc.) if the file listed is not a part of a program that you need, the most obvious option is to delete the file.


Scanning of your system needs to be done daily, or weekly, whichever you think is necessary.

After that your system will not be exposed to that specific Malware threat anymore. But just remember that there are new Malware threats everyday. For the most part they will pose no threat so long as you keep scanning and keep removing them. If left unchecked, then malware can cause a major threat to your computer.

The best software I have found for removing malware is:
