Anti Virus Programs
(See also Spyware removal)
The following tools below are used to remove anti virus programs.
At the office we currently use the following programs, McAfee (all in one tool)
and AVG (free). When clients (and family members)
need help when their computers act up we get out those tools first.
In the past, I used to manually search and remove suspicous programs and viruses,
however the number of ways in which they can now infect the computer has grown so
large that it is difficult to track it manually anymore.
This page is used as a quick reference for myself and others who are interested in
securing their computers. If you are already using online banking and
exchanging sensitive and personal data then your computer MUST be protected. It is gross
negligence to do otherwise.
For use with Microsoft Windows based PC's (Windows 95,98,NT,Me,2000,XP).
