Computer Virus Removal

Viruses and Malware

The terms "virus" and "malware" (short for malicious software) are generic terms used to describe any bad, self replicating software capable of infecting your computer.

Once malware or a virus is in your computer, it can do many things. Sometimes it’s only trying to replicate itself with no harm to anyone, other times it’s capable of doing very nasty things and can be difficult to remove.

Ransomware

Ransomware is an increasingly popular method for scammers to illicit money. This type of malware encrypts your data files so that you’re unable to access them without a password.

The scammers leave a message on your computer that demands some form of payment to have the files unlocked. Access to your computer files is literally held to ransom by the perpetrator.
