Is Your Computer Infected? If So, These 3 Forums Could Be Your Lifeline
If you’ve used the Internet for a decent amount of time, you will have run into spyware, trojans, and other forms of computer viruses. Don’t you lie! I’m ashamed to admit it as well, but I’ve also went through some incredibly stressful infections that, in the most serious instances, have caused me to toss hard drives and reformat partitions. For casual Internet users who Facebook and Twitter their days away, this is a huge annoyance. For those of us who use the Internet for our work, it can become a serious threat to our financial status. It can get pretty serious.
Although we’ve gone over some great choices for anti-virus software, the “anti-virus” model isn’t and probably never will be perfect. Heuristics are snowballing quickly, as are new instances of trojans. It’s always going to be a sticky situation for us.
With all that in mind, disinfecting our system takes more than the automated tinkering that software like AVG and Malwarebytes can do for us. Sometimes, we have to get our hands dirty. You don’t have to jump in alone though, and I’d like to share with you the three places where you should go if you ever need help securing your system.
BleepingComputer is known to be one of the best all-around technical help communities on the web. The website itself includes a huge variety of resources that have helped hundreds of people bring their systems back to life.
Safer-Networking, just like BleepingComputer, is the home of one of the most popular tools in this area – Spybot.
MajorGeeks is a huge player in tweaking the features and performance of your system. You’ve probably heard of them before.
