Our computer is like a car. Just like your car needs frequent maintenance, the performance of a PC deteriorates with the passage of time and needs periodic system scans to get rid of any viruses or malicious scripts. Rootkits are one of those harmful software, which make their way into your computer through application installations from unreliable sources. Rootkits are obnoxious for executing certain undetectable processes in the background, the purpose of which is to steal pivotal information and send it en route to the attacker’s system. They provide attackers with certain administrator privileges, so they can take complete control of your system. It’s quite difficult to detect such rootkits, and many antivirus or anti-malware tools simply overlook them. Read More

Computer viruses come in all shapes and sizes – ranging from malware and spyware to trojans and worms - but the most dangerous ones are guised under an Antivirus banner themselves. Yes, that’s true; perhaps you didn’t imagine, but viruses can even attack your PC in the form of an antivirus, which are usually termed 'fake antivirus'. Various companies make money by deceiving people into believing their PC is infected by a virus (which, in most cases, it is not), and then try to sell a fake antivirus (or more of a Pro version of an already abysmal free version). This not only hurts your wallet, but such antivirus security applications create a nagware, seriously disturbing your PC workflow, if you don’t buy the full application. To combat this problem, today we have a software for you labelled Fake Antivirus Remover. Developed by Trend Micro, the famous Japanese computer security company, the software is designed to help you detect and remove fake antivirus applications from your system.

Whenever a computer is infected with any malware or virus, a lot of times, installation and proper execution of Windows, as well as third party applications, gets disturbed. This means that you cannot install new programs to your computer in order to fix the issues. Sometimes, even the Windows Task Manager is disabled by some viruses, so that you cannot manually kill the processes responsible for the malicious activity. An antivirus program can protect you from all this; however, if the antivirus fails to detect and stop the malware from infecting your system, you might find yourself in a situation where your whole computer is rendered useless. Today, we have a portable malware scanner, system analysis and cleaning suite named Emsisoft Emergency Kit. Read More

Often when we install free software, we come across the issue of bundleware - software that comes bundled with the installer program of the application we are installing. Usually such bundled software consists of browser toolbars & plugins, custom search pages, and certain 'helper' programs that have the primary purpose of displaying ads or getting users to visit their websites to generate ad revenue, without adding an value to their user experience.

Be it adware, spyware, viruses or any sort of spyware, you're almost certain to find a solution to various types of threats.

Free PC Safety Scan With Microsoft Safety Scanner

For long, Microsoft’s Windows Live OneCare Scanner has been an excellent resource to check for malware on systems. It has been particularly useful during important dates such as April the 1st. For instance, once a malware infected a PC, it was only detectable with Microsoft’s Security Scanner. It was widely telecasted on news channels like BBC that the malware agent had infected systems months back and was to initiate according to a set date. Many common anti-malware software failed to detect this threat, so Microsoft launched a warning to use the OneCare Scanner to identify and remove this threat. It has helped people avoid the inconvenience of keeping their systems at a back date to avoid malware initiation after a large scale threat warning. Microsoft has recently launched something brand new called Microsoft Safety Scanner. It is a free downloadable security tool which scans and remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious agents from your system. It does not conflict with your existing antivirus software and is not meant for its replacement. It is pretty much as useful as the OneCare Scanner, i.e. for on-demand scanning and removal of malware. As in the case of the OneCare Scanner, it can be useful to perform a scan near dates when malware are widely released, such as, April and May (almost every year). Read More
