What is a computer virus?
Computer viruses are small software programs that are designed to spread from one computer to another and to interfere with computer operation.
What do computer viruses do?
Through the course of using the Internet and your computer, you may have come in to contact with computer viruses. A computer virus might corrupt or delete data on your computer, use your email program to spread itself to other computers, or even erase everything on your hard disk.
Computer viruses are often spread by attachments in email messages or instant messaging messages. That is why it is essential that you never open email attachments unless you know who it’s from and you are expecting it.
Computer viruses also spread through downloads on the Internet. They can be hidden in illicit software or other files or programs you might download.
What do I do if I have a virus?
To help avoid computer viruses, it’s essential that you keep your computer current with the latest updates and antivirus tools, stay informed about recent threats, run your computer as a standard user (not as administrator), and that you follow a few basic rules when you surf the Internet, download files, and open attachments.
More severe cases where the computer is compromised a factory reset or system recovery maybe your only option.
This would involve backing up any data you would like to keep, this may include documents and photos. Everything on the hard drive will effectively be erased and the Windows operating system reinstalled. We will return to you a completely clean and better responding system with all your data restored. To prevent any further issues we can either install a proper antivirus software or advise you on the best security options and practices for the future.
