Steps to help remove a virus:
1.
Visit Microsoft Update and install the latest updates.

2.
If you currently use antivirus software, visit the manufacturer’s Web site, update your software, and then perform a thorough scan of your computer. If you don’t use antivirus software, subscribe to a service and scan your computer immediately.

3.
Download, install, and run the Malicious Software Removal Tool. Note that this tool does not prevent viruses from infecting your system; it helps to remove existing viruses.

SUMMARY: What are the differences between WEP and WPA security in a wireless network?

By default, most routers are configured to offer virtually no security features, allowing anyone  to access your network. Unfortunately, this allows others to use packet sniffing software to  record your traffic, potentially including the names of sites you visit, electronic mail texts, and  the passwords used to access non-secure webpages.

If you are setting up a wireless network at your home or business, in your wireless router  configuration you may have come across the option to use either WEP or WPA security to help  encrypt your data. What are the basic differences between the two?

(Note this article covers only the basics and does not discuss enterprise implementations of these protocols.)

* WEP, or Wired Equivalent Privacy, is an older method for securing wireless networks from snoopers by encrypting information sent to and from the router from computers and other network devices. While WEP is supported by most all devices that support wireless security, this type of encryption is relatively easy to break. Thus, if you use WEP security, many hackers will still be able to see what websites you visit, what search terms you use, etc. Note that accessing HTTPS (HTTP Secure) websites over WEP will offer limited protection.

Spyware, adware, malware, and other Trojans are becoming an ever-growing threat to users who browse the Internet and/or install free programs. However, many computer users do not realize when these programs are secretly installed on a computer or realize when their system or browsers settings are changed. Below is a listing of potential symptoms a user may encounter when their browser or computer has been hijacked.

• Default home page changes to a different page; commonly an adult oriented web page
• Computer slows down
• New tools in the browser such as anew search toolbar is installed or added to the browser
• Default search engine or other settings changed.

Unfortunately, many of the software programs designed to hijack a computer’s browser are intentionally designed to be difficult to remove and/or detect. Below are recommendations on how these types of programs can be prevented and/or removed.
Free programs

When installing free programs , read the disclaimers and watch for additional programs that are being installed. Many times these programs are supported by automatically installing spyware programs.

If you no longer use these programs on a regular basis, uninstalling these programs will (but not always) also uninstall any associated software that is included with them.
