The same applies for worm-specific registry entries etc.Īvast! Virus Cleaner is currently (in version 1.0. Youll also get quick-glance overviews of your devices health, one-click maintenance care, bloatware removal, and much more. When avast! Virus Cleaner detects and removes a known worm from your computer, its working/temporary files are removed as well. Avast Cleanup Premium is the ultimate cleanup and tuneup tool: Easily eliminate junk for a cleaner, faster, more efficient computer or phone. Even though these files alone are harmless, they are useless and they should not be there. Many worms - when activated - create additional working files on your hard disk. Here the avast! Virus Cleaner comes - it will find and remove selected worms from your computer, as well as fix the registry and startup items to make sure your system will work correctly after the disinfection. So, in order to properly remove the worm from your computer, it is often necessary to make additional fixes in your system registry, delete the links from your Startup Folder etc. Removing such a worm is not as simple as deleting it - when you just delete the worm file, your operating system might not be able to start your applications (such as Explorer) any more. The worms often schedule themselves to be run automatically when you start your operating system some of them even register themselves to be run when any other application is started. While for some viruses the only 100% realiable method of disinfection is restoring your system from backups, for many common infections this is not really necessary and the virus/worm can be removed quite easily.

If, despite all the security measures you take, your computer gets infected by a virus or worm, it is necessary to disinfect your system somehow.
