Even though you hope you will never need to use it you do carry a spare tyre in your car with a few related tools. Likewise if you use a PC the next puncture may not be far off. Are you going to scream in anger or are you going to prepare for it?

I want to review here two outstanding tools that do the job quite well. The first is malware city a virus removal tool. This tool stands out by the fact that you do not have to download any program onto your PC. It does not just spot any virus. It actually removes them. It all works from your web browser (as long as you allow it access when asked about it). It does not try to install some sentry system to give you "peace of mind" and slow your machine in the process. Be warned though it can take something like 3 hours to run the thing and do a complete scan and removal. It can be downloaded free of charge.

The second tool is a clean-up utility. Your desktop thanks to Microsoft has become a marketing platform from which scores of eager marketers aim at interrupting your work - literally - to peddle any manner of products and services. They sneak in through your web browser and consume processing power. They remain under the radar until you notice a significant loss of performance with your machine. IObit has a great utility (free of charge) which goes over your PC registry and cookies and removes what should not be there. A new PC always seems faster partly because it has a faster processor but mainly because the hard disk is not cluttered with all sort of junk you collect along the way.

Since a PC and the internet have become part and parcel of our cyberspace lives we are all becoming IT persons. So bookmark those two useful websites - they are your toolkit to address the next puncture. (I have no financial gain in promoting these two companies. They came very handy in my time of need and they offer the basic version of their software tool for free. I thought it worthwhile to pass the word around.)
