Hello. My name is Joseph. I'm new to understanding how to remove malicious threats. I started this thread to find out how the step by step procedure works when it comes to removing threats from a Windows 7 operating system.
If someone would be kind enough to teach me the process from basics to advanced that would be nice. I suspect I have a virus on this system now. I would like to find a way to remove this threat, if I do actually have one. But keep in mind this is to teach me how to get rid of these threats more than just removing them.
The problem I seem to face is that my system slows down after awhile of use. also after I format my computer with windows 7 my internet speed slows down. One thing I did notice is that I see alot of unusual activity after I format. As in files will download when I did not ask them to.
My computer habbits are usually downloading online (torrents.) And browsing the internet with light gaming. When it comes to torrents I really want to start staying away from them because of being told they are flooded with viruses and such. So that should change. But the reason I mention that is so that you know that my idea is that I downloaded a very powerful virus that just keeps coming back to my system even after a format have been made. Other than that, that is all I can say about my computer.
So without further adieu I will post my system info like I was requested when I sign up for the site.
Thank you very much your all your help.
