Are you a proud owner of a personal computer? Then here in this article you will find tips on how to choose antivirus software for your computer.
An antivirus is a computer software used to identify, thwart and get rid of any malware that your computer has been affected with. These are called viruses and can be found in different forms like Trojan horses, spyware, worms, adware and many other contagions that are likely to destroy its smooth running.
A computer virus is a bug in the computer that can replicate multiple times in the host computer and when the host computer is used for some work especially when using a USB or using the email, there is a high probability that the virus will transfer in to the USB and also via email into the receiver's mail box. With this, not only does the host computer is affected by the virus, but also the other computer used for work with this one. Viruses can attach themselves to files on the computer or via a networked computer.
An autorun virus affects the autorun.inf files. The autorun.inf is a Windows text file that commands the system to operate CDs, DVDs and USBs. This virus can spread using USBs which will alter the setting of the device. In many a cases, the virus can also block internet access especially to antivirus websites and disable hidden files and folders. The autorun virus enters the system registry and launches itself automatically, every time the computer is started. The autorun virus is notorious for involuntary installation of a key logger which steals the computer user's usernames, passwords, credit card information etc.
With the autorun virus, not only is the computer at stake but also the personal information of the user and therefore the virus needs to be removed immediately. There is a manual way to remove the virus as well as virus removal tool. The manual removal requires the user to launch the Task Manager and put the computer in safe mode. The command prompt needs to be opened and all system and.exe files on the OS need to be listed and the hidden, system and read only files need to be disabled for autorun.inf and ntdelect.com and both files need to be deleted. The same steps have to be followed for all the drives on the computer, and then search for and delete kavo.exe under C:windoessystem32. The user then is required to open the registry editor and delete all files that show up under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE and HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWARE.
Novice users of the computer with very little information and knowledge of the operating system should use the autorun virus removal tool and leave the autorun virus removal with registry cleaner for the professionals. This is advised since removing the incorrect files from the windows registry can damage the operations of the system.
Removing autorun virus is easy to do with registry cleaner. If you scan your computer it will detect the errors in your registry and safely remove them.
