Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. Most viruses and malware can be eliminated with 2 free programs in addition to your anti-virus program. Malwarebytes and Superantispyware are two free programs that are great at removing malware, but it's best to have them installed before your computer is infected. They can be downloaded from malwarebytes.org and superantispyware.com. If you're looking for a free anti-virus program, I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials. It's good and it won't slow your computer down like AVG and others. It can be downloaded at microsoft.com/security_essentials.
