Junkware 101

Published by

Overclocking HQ have thrown up their latest article which looks at removing malware (spyware, ad-ware, Trojans and hijackers) from your PC!

It used to be that you could just update and run Ad-aware or Spybot and all your spy ware problems would disappear, but lately spy ware, ad-ware, Trojans and hijackers have been getting very sneaky. This new breed will drop files all over your computer and as you are working diligently to remove them, they will be reinstalling in the background. It?s absolutely frustrating, but it is fixable in most cases if you carefully follow the steps on the next few pages.

Now before you begin make sure you have about 1 or 2 hours to kill and maybe a full pot of coffee to help you through. Keep in mind there are some cases where things have gotten so far out of hand that the only fix is to backup your data and reinstall windows.
