PC Solutions Virus Info Page

Once upon a time, the computer virus was almost mythical in it's concept. Unfortunately, those days are gone. With the numbers of computers per household growing rapidly and the increasing number of high-speed internet users, computers are constantly under attack by unwanted 'malware'. Malware is a generic term, which is used to describe the various "malicious" programs, which pose as legitimate links or pop-up ads on webpages or attachments to emails.

Malware are often suspected when the user experiences sluggish performance, loss of internet access, or programs not responding properly. Malware sometimes cause what is termed "browser hijacking". Some of these malicious programs have the ability to hide from anti-virus programs, meanwhile taking over control of the PC. The best advice to users is have some sort of malware protection as well as keeping their virus software and Windows itself up-to-date. For those users who still believe that they must open an email attachment to get something they don't want on their personal computer, think again! Never click on any link or pop-up unless you know exactly where it's taking you!
