There is nothing more annoying than having a virus on your computer. There is nothing worse than having a hacker get your personal information. Viruses can make random pop-ups appear, slow your computer down, send lots emails under your own name, and hackers steal any information that your computer may have on it such as your name, address, email, and even bank account numbers. There have even been Lock

cases where a hacker had gained access to a computer and controlled the computer remotely. Sometimes they even change your password so you can't get on!

Fret not! With the right tools and a few free programs, you can keep your entire computer secure, safe, and sound! This tutorial is going to show you how to remove viruses and harveters (Viruses that steal information and relay it back to a master computer or programmer) and make sure that they stay off.
