Viruses and malware attacks at this time could be coming from a variety of ways. Many computer users have installed anti-virus, and feel safe. There is a difference of treatment and anti-virus and malware products. Some antivirus manufacturers with a complete anti-malware features, certainly offered a bit more expensive. But some manufacturers also offer antivirus only. Usually the only target for office use without internet connection.

Misleading to say the antivirus is an anti malware, too. Antivirus is to keep the computer from virus attacks and to clean. Look at some antivirus companies and the Microsoft company issued some special software to malwrae. This is different, because of malware attacks typically not associated with viruses.

Slightly increase the knowledge of whether the difference of malware and computer viruses. Arguably the two different light. Malware infections can turn into a virus attack.

Malware can be entered only by:

Opening a site and one clicking icon or link.
No matter from any site, regular website, social networking sites like Facebook, email provides a link a malware site.
PDF files are accidentally in infection
Video files that exploit operating system weaknesses, and asks the user to update their player. It turned out that the link is fake, even allowing viruses and malware into the computer
Links from Search Engines, like Google for example. Sometimes there is a link that did not get in the clear by Google. And look attractive by the user computer, then try to click.
And many other ways that make computer users are stuck. With click a link, do not even need an clicking icon

The Malware makers generally have a specific purpose. Whether to steal data within the computer, just to disrupt, attack other sites, to make the computer as a slave by taking another virus and infect computers.

Seeing the computer is clean of Malware

Regardless of the affairs of how viruses and malware can enter into the computer. How do we know whether the computer is still clean. Or the silence of our computer is infected and starts to attack somewhere else, whether computer, do the spam as a slave to the maker and other malware. While the owner did not know what is done by computer.

Start the computer and browsing and check email as usual. Then let stand a few minutes.

Then look at the lights at the bottom right screen, see if the lights still no signs of active.

To make sure, you try to get into the Windows icon under the left -> All Programs -> Accessories -> and find the Command Prompt -> and type Netstat (shown below)

When the display Netsat like the picture above. Possible computer is still clean and has not been attacked by malware that obnoxious. Because the computer visible on the Network Status does not really connect to the internet.

What about when the lights keep flashing Network status. And the look on your Netstat seen active
