Spyhealer Virus Help
What is Spyhealer?
SpyHealer's purpose is to bypass your security protections using deceitful practices.
Spyhealer is a Spyware / Trojan program that masks itself as a useful spyware removal program; but, in reality its purpose is to bypass your security protections using deceitful practices and invade your computer. Often SpyHealer displays fake alerts about the computer being infected with malware. These fake alerts appear as if they are coming from Microsoft. Do not be fooled. This is not Microsoft and the infection on your computer is Spyhealer. Spyhealer uses this deceit to coerce people into paying for more bogus security programs that do not in any way address the real issue.

How can I better protect my computer from getting infected by Spyhealer?
Make sure you have a trusted antivirus and firewall installed on your computer that is kept up-to-date. The best form of hardware firewall is to install a router. Routers can be found at any computer hardware store and are often used to allow more than one computer to share an internet connection. Even if you only have one computer it is an excellent idea to have one of these installed.
Install and regularly run trusted anti-spyware programs. I would strongly suggest installing Spybot Search and Destroy by Safer-Networking Ltd and Ad-aware SE from Lavasoft. Make sure these are up-to-date and that you run the scans at least once a week.
Be very cautious about what you decide to download and install onto your computer. A considerable amount of these types of nasty software try to fool you into thinking that you need it or it's something that's required to view a webpage. Almost all of these kinds of warnings are false no matter how official they my look. If you have any doubts, don't allow it in.
