Manually remove virus/malware that slows down the internet connection


Is it possible?Or do you know of other ways on how I can remove it. I think the connection has been slowed down. Yesterday, when I download it has 80-100 kbps rate but now its only on 40-50kbps. What do I do with it.


Answer



Before reinstalling, I'd try one or more of the free spyware removal programs. I'm particularly fond of Spybot Search and Destroy which is a very well known and highly regarded free adware/spyware removal program.


I've also had good luck with the free version of Lavasoft Ad-Aware in the past.


It's important to stick with adware/spyware removal programs that are well established and have a good reputation because occasionally spyware/adware comes disguised as a removal program or a "system cleaner". A lot of these turn out to be just advertisements trying to sell you a sub-par product.


Hijackthis is another free product that can help but it takes a little more care to use. It can make things worse if used to aggressively.
