No matter how well your computer is protected, the chances of it getting a virus or at least a virus attack is very high. There are certain things you can do to reduce your vulnerability.

Use a good firewall program
Use an antivirus program and keep it up-to-date
Enable Windows Updates - To do this in Windows XP, right click on "My Computer". Select "Properties" followed by "Automatic Updates". Make sure that "Keep My Computer Up To Date" is checked.
Never open an email attachment from someone you don't know. Don't even open an email attachment from someone you know, unless you know exactly what the attachment is

Our virus removal service comes with every computer service, repair, and in some cases upgrades. Or you can simply book yourself in for a full virus removal and clean.

However it is not always possible to remove every virus from your computer without having to reinstall everything on the PC. In fact, this is the best way to destroy really dug in virus's.

Our process involves:

Full virus scan	Spyware scan
Adware scan	Registry scanning

Viruses
A virus is a small piece of software that piggybacks on real programs. For example, a virus might attach itself to a program such as a spreadsheet program. Each time the spreadsheet program runs, the virus runs, too, and it has the chance to reproduce (by attaching to other programs) or wreak havoc.

E-mail viruses
An e-mail virus moves around in e-mail messages, and usually replicates itself by automatically mailing itself to dozens of people in the victim's e-mail address book.

Worms
A worm is a small piece of software that uses computer networks and security holes to replicate itself. A copy of the worm scans the network for another machine that has a specific security hole. It copies itself to the new machine using the security hole, and then starts replicating from there, as well.

Trojan horses
A Trojan horse is simply a computer program. The program claims to do one thing (it may claim to be a game) but instead does damage when you run it (it may erase your hard disk). Trojan horses have no way to replicate automatically.
