Routine internet searches can expose your PC to malware’

Thanks for sharing this information. keep posting such information

Does regularly updated anti-virus software also fail? Thanks for the information.

@Rajani,
Many anti virus software fails though it runs periodically. :(

Its a great and useful information thank you for sharing Jayen , rajani and Nagalashmi

If you don't have an image backup of your drive, you'll have to reinstall Windows, install and update your malware protection, and restore your data

Can you please explain Jayen, how you know when your pc is attacked.

Basheer first symtoms are that your pc will be unusually slow.

In case your anti virus is not able to handle the latest virus attacks, you can use the SYSTEM RESTORE feature of HELP AND SUPPORT menu to reinstall your OS at an earlier data.For this purpose you should also take computer back up from time to time using the same feature.

But it is really a pain to take a back up and reinstall the OS.It is better to spend to get a good antivirus which can protect our PC.

thank you for letting me know about malware of pc which i never know till i view this post.

Oh My God it really happens and i was not aware of it till now and thank god i am having an original virus scanner and it really protects my PC and also intimates me and also seeks permission from me to allow or block each and every time.

I once had a malware through google searches. I had to reinstall my system then.

Yes malware can really destroy your pc if it is not detected by the antivirus.
