If you want to keep the door of your house
open to welcome your guests, you need to take care of the unwanted nuisances as
well. You can protect them by installing some kind of screening mechanism; but
what if the unwanted elements are already entered before you can install your
screener? You need to deep clean your home, right? Now describe it in terms of computers.
The door is your internet by which you are allowing data and apps to your
system and you have an antivirus to remove the malware. What are you going to
do if you already have a virus in your system? For these circumstances, there
is a Norton Power Eraser free virus
and malware removal tool.
However, let us see the types of malware
first. There is a trojan horse that
looks harmless to pass the firewall and then get activated. A logic bomb is a piece of code that will
be executed and give rise to malicious activities once a certain condition is
met. Spyware is the malware that
collects confidential user information like card number, id password and sends
them to a third party without the consent of the user. A backdoor is a secret path to bypass the authentic information of
the system. Ransomware is the
malware that steals confidential information and threatens to disclose the
information until their demands are met.
Once we are clear with formal definitions,
let us consider what Norton Virus Remover is. The tool is called Norton Power Eraser and it is a very
powerful virus removal tool that
allows you to make a powerful scan of your system and weed out any unwanted
malware and threats that might be lurking on your computer. You do not need to
install the tool After downloading you need to save the file and run. The speed
of the virus scan is very high and not only that even most aggressive viruses are
also detected by that method. You do not need to update the tool regularly.
When executed, it will automatically be updated to the latest version first
before executing. The Norton Power
Eraser tool is very easy to use also. All you need to do is download, save,
run and fix.
However, there are certain drawbacks to this
tool. The tool can not be run in a normal mode of Windows but only in the Safe
mode. Then again the tool is for Windows Operating System only and can not run
in Mac system. The tool operates in very aggressive mode and there is a risk
that it may flag some legitimate software as threats. The user needs to be very
much on his toe before removing the files and should examine the list carefully
before taking an action. However, given the exhaustive nature of scan and the
risk of marking legitimate software as a threat, there is an option for undoing
any such unintentional deletion. Norton
Power Eraser can be used to review previous repair sessions and any such
wrong deletion can be undone.
