What we can do if system was infected by Virus

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

"The only way to absolutely, positively clean a machine from a virus is to completely reformat the machine and reinstall the operating system, updates, applications and data from scratch."

It's simple really: consider the possibilities after you're infected with a virus:


1. Your anti-virus program successfully cleans it off.

2. Your anti-virus program thinks it successfully cleans it off, but in fact the virus has hidden itself so well that it remains. You're still infected, and you don't know it.

3. Your anti-virus program doesn't catch it and doesn't even try to clean it off. You're still infected, and you don't know it.
