Can narutospot put a virus on your computer?

Affirmative. Something connected with NarutoSpot has occasionally been shown to download a false Security Center. This looks nearly identical to the security center window that is part of Windows Vista and Windows 7. If you do not get this closed out IMMEDIATELY, it will automatically start "scanning" your computer. In reality what it is doing is infecting your computer with several copies of a nasty virus and adding root kits to your computer. Then it will inform you that virii have been detected and try to get you to pay for a "service" that supposedly removes the inffection, but which in reality does not. It is associated with a program called security which loads on startup and shows up on program manager. The virus will not allow you to shut it down or remove it through standard means one you have been infected.

Can you get viruses from msn?

Yes actually you can. Today is March 02, 2016. Just 2 days ago I open my MSN home page, and saw one of their articles I had not seen earlier that day. It was an article on Ted Cruz, it had a really funny picture of him, and said something about some big scandal or something silly. So I went ahead and clicked it to see what it was about, it seemed kind of odd to me. As soon as I clicked it, I got a bunch of full screen pop ups and had to open task manager just to shut them all down. So I guess I will have to run virus scans now. Funny thing is, after all that I went back to my MSN home page to try and find that same article and it was gone. MSN is well known to have a strong left leaning bias, and also known to block people through FB etc if they make anti-left comments. So it doesn't surprise me this "safe" MSN site is no longer safe. UPDATE It turns out after a full scan of windows defender I had a browser hijacking virus, and I didn't have it before I clicked that funny ad on MSN. Be careful what you click on when viewing MSN...

I looked it up and warrock.com says its just the hack shield, the anti-virus just picks it up as a virus, ignore it. But, I'm giving that a second thought...

What does a Trojan horse attack?

A Trojan Horse program is designed to masquerade as a legit program in order to trick a user into downloading and running it. Most of the time, the Trojan Horse will provide the desired program, such as a game or music file, so as to avoid suspicion, but it runs malicious processes in the background. A Trojan Horse can do a number of things. Some come with a built-in keylogger so it can record keystrokes that allows a hacker to steal usernames and passwords. Others usually open a backdoor on the computer so it can download more malware off of the Internet.

Could reformatting delete a virus?

Yes, the virus could be destroyed, or at least "lost." The worst that will happen is that the virus will be marked as trash, but not deleted. In theory, another bit of malicious code could recover it, and reinfect you, but this is very unlikely. You could "shred" and format your drive to be sure it is destroyed, using something like Darik's Boot and Nuke (found at www.dban.org), but this is usually not needed.

What computer program is used to prevent computer viruses from infecting a computer?
