Symptoms of a Virus Infection
A lot of today's malware goes to great lengths to avoid notice. But some viruses exhibit symptoms that might as well be a banner advertising the infection. Here are a few of the most common tell-tale symptoms of a virus infection.

How to Remove a Virus
A malware infection can exhibit an array of symptoms - or none at all. Depending on your experience level, there are various options you can try. Following is a list of options beginning with the easiest and working through to the more advanced.

Windows System Registry
In many ways, the Windows System Registry can be regarded as the text-based nerve center for Windows. It controls virtually everything that interacts on your PC. To understand how malware impacts your computer, you first need a basic understanding of the Registry.

Tips for Securing your PC
There's no single silver bullet for how to prevent or remove a virus, but there are many smaller habits you can adopt that will make either task easier.
