This website is dedicated to help you to remove Malware - computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, rootkits, spyware, dishonest adware, etc.
Dangerous new viruses are making the rounds in the guise of legitimate antivirus programs. Going by such names as 'Antivirus XP 2008' and 'XP Antivirus 2009'. This type of malware succeeds by looking like legitimate Windows programs. These rogue antivirus programs are being promoted through spam messages that link to an automatic download of a virus installer.
As usage of USB flash (pen) drives are increasing day by day, so are virus-writers stepping up their malicious attacks and writing scripts that run automatically and infect PCs as soon as the device is plugged in.
Instead of formatting a PC to get rid of a virus or troublesome spyware infection, this website will take you through a step-by-step method to get rid of the infection. We will also introduce a foolproof method of removing viruses from USB flash drives and to protect the computer being infected again through such drives.
