Virus FAQ

My computer has a virus. How did this happen?

Thousands of new viruses, trojans, and worms are created every day. Sometimes, even the best anti-virus software in the world can't protect your computer from being infected. Here are some of the most common ways this can happen.

  • Clicking on an intriguing pop-up ad which contains a trojan
  • Opening a malicious email attachment
  • Downloading a virus from a file-sharing program such as LimeWire
  • Your Netlux software was not updated with the latest virus definitions
  • Your system was infected with malware before Netlux was installed
How do I get it off my computer?

Why can't my Netlux software remove the virus for me?

With thousands of threats being generated every day, many of which are unique, one-of-a-kind threats that are served up to uniquely infect your particular system, it is possible that you have come into contact with a threat Netlux does not yet recognize. In addition, some malware is designed specifically to disable Netlux's antivirus software. Trojans and worms can be very difficult to fix because they contain no clean code which Netlux can repair automatically; instead, they have to be manually removed.

Why can't Netlux detect this threat when other anti-virus software can?

Netlux handles several thousand new threat alerts every month and updates its software as quickly and thoroughly as possible. Since every software vendor processes threats on its own schedule, occasionally another anti-virus product can detect a threat before Netlux can. Likewise, Netlux's software often recognizes threats ahead of other products.

Antivirus FAQ

How much maintenance does Netlux antivirus software require?

Netlux antivirus programs is extremely low maintenance option, requiring very little interaction from you in order to continue working effectively.

Assuming you’ve set it up correctly, the only tasks you should engage in on a regular basis are:

  • Checking the status of the antivirus program daily – Netlux offers red-color scheme to alert you to any issues. If the program says System is Secured then all is good. Otherwise, if it says System Is At Risk delve deeper to learn what the problem is and then rectify it.
  • Manually run an in-depth scan on a regular basis, maybe once a week, or use the functionality of the antivirus program itself to schedule a detailed scan, perhaps at a time when you are away from the machine.
  • Checking that the program is fully up to date. This should happen automatically but we would advise confirming that all updates have been downloaded and installed from time to time.

It is also worth leaving a note somewhere prominent to remind you when your subscription runs out so that you never find yourself in the position of not having a valid license.

Why did Netlux antivirus program just detect something the old one missed?

For the most part, antivirus programs rely on databases of virus signatures to identify malicious code on your computer.
Even though these are now largely stored in the cloud rather than on your hard drive, they are still vendor specific for the most part.
Thus, one company may have identified a threat that another has missed.
The chances of a reputable company not having a signature for a new piece of malware for any length of time is slim but it does happen in the short-term.

I’ve downloaded Netlux antivirus program, do I need to uninstall the old one before running it?

Absolutely, yes.
Although there are always exceptions to the rules, two antivirus programs should typically never meet up on the same system – they don’t play nicely together and may even detect each other’s database of virus signatures as a threat.

The answer, therefore, is to always delete one antivirus program before installing another.
It’s just good practice.
