Too often, a PC is left with some type of malware, adware, bloatware, or viruses simply because they are not interrupting quite enough for the employee to take the steps needed to remove them. This is especially true if anti-virus software is not functioning and other security notifications are not occurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is common for employees to live with these issues until the PC is eventually replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mode of operation, (i.e., living with malware) is particularly bad because it\u2019s very difficult to know the true nature of the malware. What shows as simple adware could also have backdoors, rootkits, keyloggers, or other malicious code attached.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Any PC with suspected malware should never be ignored<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
