to viral infections :P… Similarly, you system behaves when it got
infected. Below are some symptoms:
1. Your Computer might be
running slow usual than normal(efficiency is decreased means slow
processing, sometimes system hangs etc).

antivirus shows messages of detecting viruses time to time or in some
cases unable to update antivirus or sometimes even not able to install
any new antivirus or security software.

system from any antivirus or anti spyware tool its showing viruses and
you noticed that viruses are not deleting.
and much more…
Have you ever tried to
understand the underlying concept that how is your system got infected?
What has infected your System? Is it because of your Friend? or USB? or
your online activity that resulted in infection of your PC or laptop?
May be you have tried to explore these things but i am pity sure, you
must not be able to explore why this actually occurs. So friends, no
need to worry, today i will share each and every method which can infect
your system and How you can fix your PC or laptop if its already
infected. In my previous article i have shared how to fix Not able to Install any antivirus or security tool problem.
But Today we will explore something really unique and off course of
much more importance in our day to day life. So friends lets start with “How viruses and Trojans spread themselves in your PC“.
How a System is got Infected because of your Negligence or lack of awareness?
1. Using Cracked Versions of software specially security ones like antivirus, anti-spyware etc.
Why I have said this is
the first and major cause of infection because of the following simple
reason that All hackers know that general internet user public always
searches for cracked versions of software’s and wishes to use them for
free and Hacker take benefit of them. You all now be thinking how it
help hackers. We know that almost all antivirus show each and every
keygen as virus or some trojan depending upon its type. Now if we all
know that then how come hackers will forget this fact so what they do
they attaches trojans and viruses to these files and at the time When
your antivirus shows it as virus you ignores the alert and keep the
keygen means trojan running.
NOTE: And Guys an
important note for you all, If your antivirus doesn’t show any keygen or
crack as a virus then don’t ever think that its not a virus but its a
most dangerous thing. Why dangerous because now Hacker has used some
more brain to fool you that this time he has made the virus undetectable
by simply editing or manipulating the hex code of original virus or
attaching some dead strings. So what is the moral of story Please don’t
use cracked versions.
Now you all be thinking
that if we don’t use the cracked versions then how we will able to get
full versions of the software’s. Don’t worry when I am there no fear
drink beer and enjoy everything for free. Its solution will be in
solutions step just read article.
2. Pen drive or USB drive :
The biggest cause of infection of your system is usb drives and external hard disks.
Now how a virus enters
into your system using USB drives. You have connected your USB drive to
your friends computer and by chance (sorry its for sure i.e 100%) your
friends system is infected by virus or Trojans and its the property of
Virus that it replicates itself using memory. So when you connect your
USB to your friends computer your USB is now infected by virus and now
when you connect this USB to your PC using the property of your Windows
that it searches the files in Newly connected device and autorun the
device and for doing this it loads the index of your USB’s file system
into Memory and now if USB has virus its the property of virus its
replicates itself using system memory. Now if you are using good
antivirus , your antivirus will pop warning and alert messages and some
times you ignores them means your system is also infected. For USB drive
virus solution keep reading article.
3. Downloading things from Unknown Sites:
Most of the users searches
for thing over the internet and where ever they find their desired
result means file that they want they start downloading that from that
site only. Now how it affects your system suppose you want to download
any wallpaper say Katrina Kaif. Now hackers know the fact that Katrina
has a huge fan following and user will surely going to download it. Then
what they do they simply bind their malicious codes with some of files
and when users download it his system is infected and he can never
imagine that the virus has come from wallpaper that he has downloaded
from unknown site. For its solution read on article.
4. The most important one Becoming a Hacker like Me (ROFL but its truth).

always curious to know ways how can i hack my friends email account or

Why I have mentioned this
is simply because Hackers always take benefit of these noobish tricks
that they attach viruses with files and name them as hack tools . So
avoid them if you are too curious like me. Then there are several ways
to Handle it. Some are mentioned below:
1. Use Deep Freeze
on C drive: For testing Hack tools always use deep freeze as after the
next restart your system will be at same position as it was previous.
2. Install Virtual Box
and over virtual box install another Windows and test all hack tools
using virtual windows. This will protect your system from being
infected. Also It will give you more knowledge about handling the
viruses and other situations like when something wrong is done what i
have to do.
3. Use Sandbox browser to test run the downloaded files.
4. Create two to three
fake email ID’s and use them for testing Keyloggers and other fake email
hacking software’s but don’t forgot to follow above 3 points.
