It is inevitable requisite of every user of the computer to prevent viruses from attacking his/her computer.To help this cause,I am trying to help those people who have minimal knowledge of how do viruses attack computer’s operating system and also the people who are advanced users in my forth coming posts.

If you notice something that’s not usually there, it might be a virus. Or if you notice websites or applications popping up at random or at startup without your opening your browser, your computer could have some form of unknown malware in it that you need to remove with updated antivirus software. If there are such symptoms on your computer, and your antivirus software cannot fix it, then it might be a good idea to get in touch with your antivirus software’s customer or technical support, so they can study the problem, and possibly include the new malware or virus in their definitions list.
