How To Remove Spyware From Your Computer System

By Rosella Campbell


While the only way to prevent spyware from invading your laptop or desktop computer is to prevent it from being downloaded, the method is not the best for most people. Learning how to remove spyware is important because it will help you to stay keep away from malicious coders who take advantage of the security loopholes to fulfill their own agendas from stealing information from your computer. The problem is that spywares not only interfere with your privacy but also affect how your computer system operates.

Use Google search engine to search for the most appropriate spyware detection and removal software on the internet. There is unlimited software available for download including the Spybot Search and the Windows Defender. There are trusted websites on the internet from where you can get the software and the good thing is that they are freely available for download.

Go through your computer system and identify the most important data to you before you start using the downloaded software. This is because when you begin installing this form of software, you are likely to lose important data due to misdiagnoses or just by accident. Make sure that information you need in future is safe. Backup everything if need be so that you will have all your data and content available eventually.

Some of the most important data include personal files and folders, work related details and information and computer programs you will need for later use. Buy an external hard drive if you do not have one and use it to store all information. The best thing with an external hard drive is that you can attach it to your computer system and access all information at once.

Once you complete backing up all or the most important data from your computer system, disconnect your computer from the internet and then reboot it. Do not start windows normally as you would when you want to use it, instead, reboot in Safe Mode. Proceed to the next step once your computer system starts.

Scan your computer system using the anti-spyware software you previously downloaded from the internet. It is important to note that the anti-spyware software is helpful because it will automatically remove infected files and folders from your laptop or desktop computer. The other method that you can use is to uninstall infected software files from your computer using uninstall utility programming from your control panel.

You should restart your laptop or desktop computer and see if this has solved the problem. In most cases, the anti-spyware should be just great enough to solve the problem and then one can continue using the computer system as normal without any further problems. There are cases when this does not work and in such instances, you may want to resort to a more advanced solution.

The solution is somewhat not good and unless you are so sure with this, you may want to try it if there is nothing much you can do. It is really about formatting your hard disk and installing a new operating system. If you have to do this, make sure you back up all data and have application software within reach for installation.
