What To Do When Your System Gets a Virus Infection

By now just about everybody who uses a computer is aware of how Viruses, Trojans, Spyware, and other malicious software can interfere with their systems, cause data loss, or even take control of your computer. Using a good Antivirus software package coupled with a firewall can go a long way in protecting your system. However even the very best security systems can be overcome. My computer science lecturer in university once commented that the only way to secure data on a computer was to turn it off, lock the PC in a safe, and then put the safe in a very dark basement where nobody can find it. Security breaches are nearly inevitable, especially if you don't keep your operating system up to date or don't use antivirus software!
