Removing the virus or spyware is just the first step to a full recovery
When you run Task Manager you will see a list of programs that are running. The real shocker here is that these are not all the programs that are running on the computer. There are also additional programs that run in the background and are considered as invisible applications. Most of these are needed to have the computer run as it should, but this is also a breeding ground that viruses and spyware can also lurk. Many of the harmful programs are like magicians that don’t want you to see what they are doing or how they are doing it.
In many cases, the damage that they have wrought will require an additional program that can fix the damage after the viruses and the spyware has been removed. Some of these programs can even monitor the background processes to see if there are any harmful applications that are running. The reason for this is to eliminate the problem before fixing the damage.
To some, the repair work and the steps that many of these programs may appear more like a form of surgery. This is not far from the truth as they are usually cleaning out obsolete date, fixing corrupt data, undoing the damage from viruses, and even repairing the damage to the indexes and the registry. This is a tall order and is also more like a list of ailments in a dying body. In a sense it is exactly how it is, the disease is the viruses and once they have been removed the repair programs can be used to bandage and fix the computer.
The once concern that a person should have though is that a virus and spyware can do horrendous amounts of damage to a system. It is very likely that there may be some files that will be corrupt beyond repair. Many of these will be driver files, applications, and also system files. This can require the person to recover their operating system, reinstall the operating system, or to replace the files that were damaged. In many cases the programs doing the mending will notify you of what is wrong and what course of action should be taken. In most cases they can even tell you how to take the steps to finalize the repair work. This can be seen as having the advice of a doctor that wants you to have a healthy and happy computer
