Computer Protection Tips

Beware of Free Malware Removal Software

There are many free malware removal tools available on the market, but beware of “false positives”, and this is what I mean…

You download free trial copy of malware removal software to perform a scan of your computer system, when you run the first scan it displays lists of spywares that it claims to be present on your system, The list include viruses, spywares, adwares and so on, that are, in fact, not present on your computer, but are present in the malware software database itself. This is known as false positives and there are numerous malware software vendors that trick unsuspecting consumers in this way.

The aim is to create a panic so you can buy their software for protection. Don’t be fooled, be careful before you install this type of malware protection. Do a bit of research online, or read reviews from previous users.

Malware detection and removal is a lucrative business for companies that create malware removal software, so in an attempt to lure you into buying their software you get tricked into thinking that your computer is infected with ghost malwares.

Also, some free malware removal software can be very difficult to remove from your system once you install them. This can be another problem on its own in that whenever you start your computer, the software automatically begins its fake scanning, and if you are not good at software installation and removal it might be very difficult to get it removed from your system.

Not all free trial software are rogues, there are reliable free software online but you must know where to look. Conduct a thorough research and
