Does you computer been attacked by a virus?

My PC was never attacked my virus for the last one year. Thanks to a powerful anti-virus I use, which is kaspersky. Happy Lotting

the thing is even if you have the most sophisticated anti virus but then again you allow the virus from accessing your computer system then it won't still work and you are still going to be infected. nowadays most viruses are packaged in a way that they disguised as a legitimate software or system patch like what mostly happen to windows users wherein viruses came from system patch updates.so to avoid this just make sure you download and install programs from a legitimate sources, if your aren't sure about a program then don't install it. sometimes anti virus gets mistakes too. i don't think there is really a best way to avoid or best anti virus to use when it comes to this since everyday more and more virus are being created with higher probability of undetection. so what i can recommend to you is use a virtual machine program like sandbox or vmwares, it will emulate your system it's like having an operating system inside your operating system. you can do things inside virtual machines like you normally do. on this way you can try out programs first without affecting your real system if something bad happens. this is what i do so i can avoid real pain due to virus attacks.

I have used 3 ways to protect my computer from malicious attacks: Avast+windows firewall+360 security guard (the Chinese firewall sofeware). this combined method is very effective to stop virus attack, my computer haven't been attacked for many years. and another points you should care is DO NOT open some unknown websites or adult websites...

Three things to consider to have a well-protected computer: 1.) Install an anti-virus with its latest updates 2.) Install an anti-spyware with its latest updates 3.) Setup a Firewall software, aside from using windows firewall.

My computer often was attacked by the virus, I think the virus easily to come our computer though we install the anti-virus software. So we need to be more careful for it, we don't should download any attachment from other website, and don't open the unknow website, which will let protect our computer.

well i had faced the similar problem when i was new to use the computer. I doesn't know that the updates are available and often used to download from adult sites. During downloads i doesn't scan for any viruses and it harms my computer. My friends suggested me to use some anti-virus program and then i was installing updates regularly. Even though we update some virus affects operating system too. I think virus programs are efficient than anti-virus. We doesn't have any solution,it seems.

I am attacked so many times by the viruses that I can't keep count. Well, my computer is, actually. Sometimes these are just the bugs produced by myself! Other time my friend got a virus with real potentials, which blocked or deleted just everything, caused frantic restarts and but for timely intervention, erased all the data. Not that I care for his data, Maybe his Antivirus was not updated, as the 'mighty' virus resides in all our comp labs and his was the first case of its kind (a pendrive transfer caused it). In my opinion keeping your antivirus updated is all you can do. That too doesn't help sometimes, once an antivirus deleted all the executable files in a particular disk, including its own installer! All the same....

Yes, I have encountered such situation before. I have noticed that there was this application who always crops up from time to time. Sad to note that my anti-virus did not discover the problem. I shifted to avira anti-virus and have been satisfied with the it so far. Well, it is really important to have a good anti-virus software for good protection. You must not open any files right away, make sure you scan them first before opening.

My computers have been attacked by viruses a couple of times since I started to use them. One was a very bad virus and things were just going crazy. So I had to back up all my data carefully and re install windows again. The other ones were simple viruses that were just cleaned up with an Anti virus scan. I changed to Kaspersky anti virus around two years ago and thing are working just fine. No problems so far.

yes my computer was attacked by a trojan yesterday. my anti-virus did not detect it even though it's always updated, but my windows defender detected it and it's alert level is high. Good thing win defender can delete it. So make sure to run a full scan on your comp at least once a week if you surf the web regularly.

Yes many time my computer attacked by virus.. but i remove them by good antivirus.. but i saw ..sometime a virus can corrupt your important files..when you don't protect it by antivirus.. so it is necessary to instal a good antivirus on computer..

My last computer fell victim to an onslaught of internet bourne viruses. The internet can be a great source of entertainment but you gotta be careful where you look because one wrong site and your stuck with tons of viruses that love to destroy your memory and corrupt your operating system. Only recently i bought an antivirus pack and my computer is working like a charm. You can really prevent these attacks by only going to trusted sites. I also bought a backup hardrive in case my old one got destroyed i can start anew with all of my files there and uncorrupted.

yes ,my have attacked by a virus ,it made me very troubled ,my computer can not run properly ,then I used the anti-virus software to eliminate ,then the world will calm down .haha . I will give you some suggestions : 1 . please do not visit AV site ,otherwise ,you may be infected with the virus. 2. please clean up junk files computer every month.

Well, one thing that is common nowadays is those virus things that still haunts any computer,i mean those people who must have made these virus must be high programmers, I think people who has this skill is misusing it for virus attack,i think in near future this virus would become more of high danger,where no antivirus can catch it,anyway my pc is safe as long as avg antivirus is updated in my pc..

I have tried similar experience and its really annoying. Well, what can i do, the anti-virus i had is a free version so its a limited features. My computer that time had totally crashed so the only solution i had is to reformat my computer which i do now every time i had problem. As for your problem, in order to resolve that you have to change your anti-virus a better one.

I never experienced with this kind of problem like wiping of whole hard drive due to virus. May be happens some times. Its totally depends on the executable files attacked to you pc. Yes Even if we use good antivirus with updates.. its generally happens to our systems in very normal way. Its due to hard deployment of virus or while we accept these viruses unknowingly at firewall level. I use avast and its working fine with me.

Hi Fulltank Of course i have..and i hate the virus very much..I still remember last year my moveable disk i stick in my computer everyone..One morning when i open the computer and open the moveable disk and i find out it's clean..Nothing in that moveable disk..the data was gonne..i am so sad..i sent the moveable to the repair company.but they said it was buy a strong virus.and can't repair any more..so i hate virus...

Yup, I have a vast experiences regarding this virus attack. I have several PCs on our internet shop and it cannot be prevented however measure I implement because some of our customers are really ignorant when it comes to scanning their USB drive. They always ignore the prompt whenever the installed anti-virus software on our computer asked them to block or delete the files infected from their flash drive. The worst part is that when a computer is really hit by a new virus and then my antivirus is not yet updated. It will resort me to reformatting and reinstalling Windows which is I really hate. There are 4 things that should do to prevent virus attacks on your computer: 1. Make sure it is updated. Always update it whenever you turn on your computer. This will download new antivirus files to protect your PC from new viruses. 2. Scan it every time you turn on and turn off the PC. 3. Scan any removable drives that is being inserted on your computer. 4. Scan all downloaded files to make sure that it is free from viruses. That's all I can think from now. Have a virus free day and happy myLotting!

I also had same experiences on computer virus attacked, but it's not worse than yours. In my opinion, It's important to update anti-virus database latest and install windows firewall. second, scan your computer ofen and removable drive connecting your PC every time. thired, don't scan unknown website and install software infected by virus. last, bakeup your OS, it may be convenient to reinstall OS.

Hi Fulltank, s even i was facing the same problems as you were facing, even i had the latest legal verion antivirus, but the problem was still there, so i uninstalle the antivirus and i was free from antivirus.
