Specialized Questions

What is ransomware?

Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts your files and demands a ransom payment to unlock them. It can be highly disruptive and costly. We can help remove ransomware and, in some cases, recover your files without paying the ransom.

What is a rootkit?

A rootkit is a type of malware that grants unauthorized users access to a computer system without being detected. Rootkits can be difficult to detect and remove because they operate at a low level within the system.

What are hijackers?

Hijackers are a type of malware that take control of your web browser, redirecting you to unwanted websites and changing your browser settings. They can also track your online activity and compromise your privacy.

What is a trojan?

A trojan, or trojan horse, is a type of malware disguised as legitimate software. Once installed, it can create backdoors for unauthorized access, steal information, or install additional malware.

What is a keystroke logger?

A keystroke logger, or keylogger, is a type of malware that records every keystroke you make on your keyboard. This can capture sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers, and personal messages.

What is bloatware?

Bloatware refers to unnecessary or unwanted software that comes pre-installed on a new computer or is added during software installations. Bloatware can slow down your computer and take up valuable resources.

What is a Denial of Service (DoS) attack?

A DoS attack aims to make a computer or network resource unavailable to its intended users by overwhelming it with a flood of internet traffic. This can cause significant disruption and downtime for businesses and services.

What are script blockers?

Script blockers are browser extensions or software that prevent scripts, such as JavaScript, from running on websites. This can enhance security by blocking potentially malicious scripts, but it can also interfere with legitimate website functionality.

What are ad blockers?

Ad blockers are browser extensions or software that prevent advertisements from displaying on websites. This can improve browsing speed and reduce distractions, but some websites rely on ads for revenue and may restrict access to content if an ad blocker is detected.

Preventive Measures and Security Advice

How can I protect my computer from viruses and malware?
