More help for virus removal

If you have ever tried to remove stubborn computer viruses, you may have encountered this type of problem. You attempt to update or download your favorite virus/malware removal software and it just refuses to work properly. This is because some viruses will actually stop you from attempting to remove them. In the past, I have pulled hard drives and scanned them as an external drive on a separate computer, which keeps those types of programs from successfully uninstalling the virus.

There is a neat little program that I recently found that will stop those types of programs from running and allow you to run your antivirus. This program is called Rkill. I would like to remind you that once your computer is infected, it is never truly safe, no matter how well you think you have cleaned it. I would recommend that you backup all of your important files and completely format your hard drive, this will ensure that it is free from viruses. Then, install a clean copy of windows. For backing up your files, I recommend something like Mozy which is simple and FREE up to 2GB.
