Malicious software, such as viruses and spyware, is a continuing concern for many as Internet usage increases. Newer pieces of malware can be engineered to be extremely difficult to remove once your system is infected without manually accessing system files on the computer.
There are some software tools that you can look at, such as the Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool or Microsoft’s Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool that may help.
