The days of turning on the computer, connecting to the word wide web and naively searching the internet and playing games without some form of protection are over. There are a wide variety of people in the world creating an ever wider variety of software designed to attack and exploit unprotected computers. While most people are aware of Computer Viruses, which are a part of malware, there are many other kinds of programs out there designed to do nefarious and possibly damaging things to your computer. The need for an anti malware program on your computer is just as important as an anti-virus program.
Malware is a shortened form of malicious software. While viruses fall into this category, the focus on the computer virus is too narrow as there are many other kinds of programs that fall under the malware flag but are not viruses. Trojan horses, spyware, worms, rootkits, keyloggers and most importantly data-stealing malware are all problems that need to be addressed.
While most major anti-virus programs incorporate anti malware elements into their search, too much protection is rarely a bad thing and using a separate program designed specifically as an anti malware program would be a good idea. One of the top rated programs for this is Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware program. Free to download and use but needing to pay for real-time monitoring, it is a good and easy to use program that can root out many persistent malware programs. Webroot Spy Sweeper is another program that is very effective in ferreting out spyware and other nasty applications that may have found their way into a system. Spybot Search and Destroy is another highly rated anti malware program with a loyal following simply because it works.
The best thing to do is download the above three programs, update them and run them. Run them again and keep running them until everything comes up clean. Once the computer system is relatively clean, installing Avast! is probably the easiest way to keep the system clean. While it isn’t 100 percent effective, it is one of the best freely available programs around.
Running Avast! in the background and using the three other anti malware programs once a month will be the best thing that can be done to easily and cheaply protect a computer system from most kinds of malicious software. Staying away from internet gambling, pornography or downloading pirated software, music or movies will also go a long way in keeping a computer clean. Many of the sites associated with these activities are full of malware. Staying away from them will largely reduce the need for running anti malware programs on a computer.
