A friend of mine recently had her computer fixed because she had spyware slowing down her computer. When she got her computer back she said it was still very slow so she gave it to the same guy to have it fixed. She got it back again and it was still slow. I told her it was probably the norton internet security the guy had installed the first time he fixed it. Not knowing anything about computers, she simply told me it was what the guy told her she needed for her computer to work right. I called him and explained to him that he had not fixed the problem he had been asked to fix the second time; that we would not be wanting the program he had installed. He said to me that he was sure the computer had become infected, again causing the problem. When I explained to him that I had already run scans but no virus was found he said that conventional scans do not find every known virus because windows is using some files that can not be checked by the scan. I did not know that. is that true?
Is it true that there are some files that can not be checked for viruses from within windows?spyware remove
Yes, it's true that some files cannot be detected by normal scans. Now, new viruses are embedded as rootkits or run at kernel level where normal anti-virus softwares cannot detect them.
