You can check that by reading the feedback of our happy customers :)

How do you catch a computer virus?
well, firstly, downloading an infected program and starts it. after that, it will start copying itself and will attaches itself to other programs. after that some or all programs will be infected by it.
In most, but not all networks, rather than transmitting data in small pieces such a single character at a time, data will be sent in a larger piece referred to as a packet. The size of the packet is a tradeoff between network sharing, speed and error detection and recovery. Standard Ethernet uses a packet size of about 1500 bytes, while Wi-Fi defaults to a bit more than 2300 bytes.
Are there different levels of abuse?
Yes there is. An abuser will come on as sweet as pie (said the spider to the fly.) They don't even realize the pattern they have gotten themselves into. It can be months before you see any signs of mental abuse (many of us can make excuses for a person who is a mental abuser and use excuses such as "they have lost a loved one, a job, etc.) What we don't realize is, that a person can be "moody" and even speak out harshly, but eventually will get over it. Abusers never do. Once the abuser feels they have that person under control, they will start to alienate them from their friends and family. It may be as slight an excuse as "I need to work in Texas, are you willing to move with me? I love you so much." I don't think many men/women that are unsuspecting would question that statement at the time. Once they alienate you from friends, then they alienate you from family. Abusers are actually weak and frightened. They can't seem to slide into every day society and usually "ride the waves" but once home all hell breaks loose. They are smart enough to know they can get away with the abuse in the privacy of their home or in isolated areas and always pick on someone weaker than themselves. They need control and they need to feel protected in their own environment and that means ... total control and feeling like they are in control of every single aspect of their lives. Abusers seldom can be changed. Some manage to squeek through the cracks of clinics, psychiatrists, etc., and have been helped, but over 90% of them will never seek out help and usually end up alone or in prison. Abusers will not and refuse to reason with anyone else but themselves. They are in control! Yes there are levels of abuse. It exists on a continuum. At the bottom end of the physical abuse continuum for example, you may have just a slap and at the top a beating resulting in death. The effects of abuse differ with every individual.
You have installed an antivirus software which is scanning but not removing the virus why?
Some antiviruses provide trials that detect, but do not remove parasites. So they prove that your PC is infected. Some of such antiviruses are scams, as they fake the results.
Technically, an antivirus that detects and blocks, but does not remove parasite makes sense for protection.
''Viruses do not have their own metabolism, and require a host cell to make new products.''

How to find a virus from the run command?
Microsoft Command Prompt "attrib" is a very useful tool to check if your hard drives even your flashdisks have been infected by a virus.
You will know if a Malware is inside your hard drive just by looking at the attributes of each files and the file that has the attributes of +s +h +r
The function of attrib is to set and remove file attributes (read-only, archive, system and hidden).
Launch attrib
To start attrib
1. Go to Start Menu > Run
2. Type cmd (cmd stands for command prompt)
3. Press Enter key
The Command Prompt will appear showing us where is our location in the directory.
command prompt showing the current location in the directory
Using attrib
To use attrib
1. Go to the root directory first by typing CD\(because this is always the target of Malware / Virus)
2. Type attrib and press Enter key
after typing attrib, all the attributes of all the files (excluding folders) will be shown
In this example, I have two files that are considered as malware.
Note that there are two files which I outlined in red (SilentSoftech.exe and autorun.inf). Since you cannot see this file nor delete it (because the attributes that was set on these files are +s +h +r)
1. +s - meaning it is a system file (which also means that you cannot delete it just by using the delete command)
2. +h - means it is hidden (so you cannot delete it)
3. +r - means it is a read only file ( which also means that you cannot delete it just by using the delete command)
Now we need to set the attributes of autorun.inf to -s -h -r (so that we can manually delete it)
1. Type attrib -s -h -r autorun.inf ( be sure to include -s -h -r because you cannot change the attributes using only -s or -h or -r alone)
2. Type attrib again to check if your changes have been commited
3. If the autorun.inf file has no more attributes, you can now delete it by typing del autorun.inf
4. Since SilentSoftech.exe is a malware you can remove its attributes by doing step 1 and step 3(just change the filename) ex. attrib -s -h -r silentsoftech.exe
a) I typed the attrib command with the -s -h -r setting b) the result after I pressed enter - autorun.inf has no attributes left
There you have it!!!!
NOTE : when autorun.inf keeps coming back even if you already deleted it, be sure to check your Task Manager by pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE ( a virus is still running as a process that's why you cannot delete it. KILL the process first by selecting it and clicking End Process.
NOTE: You can also apply the attrib -s -h -r command to all the partition of your computer, drive D: drive E: drive F: (all of your drives). For example. for drive D, just type "D:" (minus the double quote) then you can see that your current drive is D.. type there the command "attrib -s -h -r *.exe" for exe files and "attrib -s -h -r *.inf" and then delete the file by "del autorun.inf".

How can I uninstall earth antivirus virus?
It would probably help if you just restore your computer to a previous point. Preferably, you should choose a time before you noticed that you had Earth Anti-virus installed.
Why does your CD-Rom drive door keep opening?
this could actually be a few problems. first just make sure you aren't hitting it with your knee or arm or something that may make the draw to open. if not it could be any of these you may have some DVD or CD player software on it. if so prehaps this key has a ejection function on it. if this is the case your most likely problem is that their maybe a hotkey attach to this function if so disabling it should fix it. prehaps your keyboard has a ejection function on it and if this is the case then its probablity the hot key thing again. remember a hotkey hasn't only got to be when you press one key it could be any one,two etc. for example shift+E. if none of these are the case it is possible that there us a loose wire inside it that when it hits the motor to move the conveyor out then it power's the coil which in turn creates a magnetic field which starts the motor and the draw opens. if this is the case have a look but its unlikly as if anywires a free it would be usual to be still working as there are very few inside a CD-ROM drive.
