Signs of an infected computer
An infected system can not only lead to system instability but even more serious issues like identity and credit card theft. One big misconception computer users have is to assume the free or commercial spyware removal programs on the internet will fully remove spyware and virus infections from there computers. In almost all cases we have found these programs simply do not find and remove all the spyware on your system. The malicious programmers that write spyware applications have already caught onto the methods used to identify and remove these infections so they are constantly changing there methods to hide these programs deep into the root of your system. In almost all cases we have found that there is never just 1 or "a few" pieces of spyware on your computer but 100's. How are you going to know if virus and/or spyware is completely gone from your system? Are you going to be completely assured that your computer is no longer infected and that it's safe to get online and purchase music or other services online with your credit card? I know I would want a competent computer technician to thoroughly check my computer before continuing online! Spyware removal is a constant challenge and each piece of spyware requires its own removal procedures. You need to have someone that knows what signs to look for and the knowledge to properly remove the infection. If you think your computer may be infected with spyware call the Tech Guy.
