Got Viruses?

While browsing the internet today, don't tell me you don't do the same thing, I found an interesting article about getting rid of unwanted viruses or hackers.

If you think your computer is being hacked or has been infected with a virus here is how you can check:

1. Right click on an empty space on the taskbar
2. Click Task Manager
3. Click the Processes Tab
4. Under Image Name look at all the .exe files that are listed.
5. Whatever you don't recognize, and for some of us that would be more than half, you can look them up and see if they are spyware or if it is something that has to be there to make your computer do what you want it to do.
6. The website is ProcessLibrary.com
7. Check each .exe file you don't recognize and if it is something that you don't need, after checking Process Library, then click on End Process.
