a lot of "free" anti-viruses wont work, some are the viruses themself.

i have had a fake antivirus destroy my entire computer, then leave without a trace.

so, if its Talk Talk, or Mcaffe, safe, if its spysherrif, or something like that, no.

SpySherrif is an antivirus that is fake.

Be careful out there.

Answer: some do, some are fake.

Explain the process of removal of a computer virus from a virus infected?

The process of removing a computer virus from an infected system involves several steps: Disconnect the computer from the internet – This prevents the virus from spreading or communicating with external sources. Enter Safe Mode – Restart the system in Safe Mode so only essential programs run. Run antivirus/antimalware software – Perform a full system scan using updated security software to detect and remove malicious files. Delete or quarantine infected files – Follow the antivirus tool’s instructions to isolate or remove the threat. Update the operating system and software – Apply security patches to close vulnerabilities. Change passwords – Reset all important passwords to secure accounts. Backup and monitor – Keep regular backups and monitor system performance to ensure the infection does not return.


Virus Protection Can Save You Money?

Virus protection is absolutely priceless for your computer. There are a ton of free anti-spyware and anti-virus programs out there, but have limited features compared to paying for one. AVG is an example of a medium priced anti-virus while Kaspersky is a premium one that costs around eighty dollars a year. Find what works for you and your computing needs based on the price to security demand ratio.
