How To Remove Spyware From Your Computer System

By Rosella Campbell


The only best way to prevent spyware from invading your computer system is preventing it from being downloaded but unfortunately, this method does not always work for most people. The reason why you need to learn how to remove spyware from your computer system is that you do not want third parties to steal information in your computer system. They not only intrude your privacy but also have a negative effect on the performance of your computer system.

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 have backed up all the data, disconnect your computer from the internet. If you are on a LAN network, remove the cable from the slot and then restart your computer. Remember to start your computer in Safe Mode.

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.

Reboot your computer system and check if this has solved the problem. Using the anti-spyware alone should solve the problem and you can continue using your computer system as normal. However, if you notice that there is still a problem with your computer further action may be required.

You may have to format the entire hard drive and then install a new operating system. Of course, this is the worst thing you want to think about so you want to try all possible solutions until you are sure this is the only way out. If all the available means do not work well for you or in the least solve the problem, backup all data and then proceed with formatting. Make sure you have the software ready to install after you reinstall your operating system.
