Little tips for doing scans: |
---|
I
did a deep scan using Kaspersky online scanner, it took
over two hours but could have taken much
longer. If you should decide to do a deep scan, clean your temp files, delete your history, remove programs you no longer use, empty your cashe, delete your trash and use the advanced window care program. By doing this, it will reduce the un necessary amount of files to be scanned. I would not suggest you do this before a scan but every once in a while, when all things are working well on your computer and you know it's clean of any viruses, worms, malware, adware and spyware, it is a good idea to reset your system restore. Here are some links to help you along with system restore: |
