Virus & Malware Removal Experts in Parramatta, Fix PC & Laptop Issues

First, let’s make sure we understand malware and viruses. Malware means “malicious software.” Malware harms your devices on purpose. The main types of malware are:

Viruses:

Code that reproduces itself by copying to various programs. Viruses can corrupt, steal data, or harm your whole system.

Spyware:

Spies on your web browsing and sends back private info. Can also take control of your computer or change software.

Ransomware:

Encrypts your important files and locks you out until you pay a “ransom” to unlock them.

Bots:

Allow others to remotely control your computer for harmful tasks like spreading malware.

Detecting Hidden Malware and Viruses

• It can be hard to tell if your devices have malware or viruses. Often, there are no obvious signs at first. Or you might notice small problems like:
• Weird pop-up messages
• Sluggish device performance
• Problems connecting to Wi-Fi
• Shorter battery life
• Unfamiliar toolbars or extensions added to your browser.
• But malware and viruses largely operate unseen, running silently in the background. Advanced detection tools find even well-hidden threats.
