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.

Go to your favorite search engine and use it to download anti-spyware software from the internet. There are many solutions already available and you can read reviews and download an appropriate one based on the reviews you read. Good examples of the solutions you may want to download include the Windows Defender and the Spybot Search.

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.

Your computer obviously has official files, personal data, work related information and important programs you will never want to lose. The best thing to do therefore would be to have an external hard disk for all your data so that once you store the most important data then you will have nothing to worry about at all. Make sure you go through each file and folder to get the important data before you can start using the anti-spyware solution.

Once you complete backing up all or the most important data from your computer system, disconnect your computer from the internet and then reboot it. Do not start windows normally as you would when you want to use it, instead, reboot in Safe Mode. Proceed to the next step once your computer system starts.

The next thing to do is to scan your computer using anti-spyware software. This software is useful because it will help you remove infected files and folders from your computer system. You can also uninstall the infected files or programs using uninstall utility program that come installed in the control panel section of your computer.

You should restart your laptop or desktop computer and see if this has solved the problem. In most cases, the anti-spyware should be just great enough to solve the problem and then one can continue using the computer system as normal without any further problems. There are cases when this does not work and in such instances, you may want to resort to a more advanced solution.

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.
