Viruses. What can we say? We hate them as much as you do but we see many machines for computer virus removal Brisbane every week with everything from Crypto Lockers, PUPs & malware. Depending on what your problem is, depends on how quickly we can restore your machine back to a running state.

We use and recommend ESET antivirus for your paid option and Avast if you’re a home business looking for quality antivirus software at no cost. We spend a lot of time removing other antivirus programs from customers’ machines that were under the impression they were covered for all threats. But with many new strands of viruses and PUPs on the internet, you need the best malware removal and protection to stay safe.

We have had many systems come in with all kinds of issues that customers assume are viruses. The truth is, there are many kinds of applications that are “virus-like.”

Common Types of Viruses That Can Cause Issues on Your Computer

57% of the threats affecting your computer security are viruses. Other threats include Trojans, adware, worms, and malware, among others. Viruses are still widespread, affecting PC performance. Viruses are also tools used by hackers to gain unauthorized access to your system and steal private information.

According to the Information-Technology Promotion Agency, the number of viruses ballooned to 52,151 in 2004. However, due to certain programs that completely eliminate viruses, their numbers decreased to about 14,000 in 2010.
It is important that you are aware of the different types of viruses affecting your computers.

Resident Virus

Resident viruses live in your RAM memory. They interfere with normal system operation, which can lead to the corruption of files and programs.

Multipartite Virus

This type of virus easily spreads in your computer system. It is very infectious, performing unauthorized actions in your operating system, folders, and other programs. They infect both executable files and boot sectors.

Executable Viruses

Direct action viruses attack certain file types, typically .exe and .com files. Their main purpose is to replicate and infect files in folders. On the lighter side, they do not typically delete files or affect PC performance and speed. They can be easily removed by antivirus programs during virus removal.

Browser Hijacker

This virus infects your web browser and redirects you to different websites. If you key in a domain name in the internet address bar, the browser hijacker will open multiple fake websites that may harm your computer. Most trusted browsers now have built-in features to block these ahead.

Web Scripting Virus

This virus lives in certain links, ads, images, videos, and layout elements of websites. These may carry malicious code that, when clicked, automatically downloads viruses or directs you to malicious sites.

Macro Virus

Macro viruses target applications and software containing macros. They carry out operations that affect the performance of the program or software.

Polymorphic Virus

Polymorphic viruses use special encoding or encryption every time they infect a system. This makes it difficult for antivirus software to detect them using signature searches. They are capable of replicating easily. Examples include Satan Bug, Elkern, Tuareg, and Marburg.

Encryption/Ransom Virus

This virus type uses encrypted malicious codes, making it difficult for antivirus software to detect. They encrypt your files and ransom their recovery. They can only be detected when they decrypt themselves during replication. Although they don’t delete files or folders, they badly affect PC performance.

Network Virus

These viruses spread through Local Area Networks (LAN) and the internet. They replicate via shared resources such as drives and folders. Dangerous examples include Nimda and SQLSlammer.

Others

Other threats not technically called viruses but with similar damaging effects include worms, adware, malware, Trojans, and ransomware. Our malware removal services cover these as well.
