Worms are virus-like malware (”malicious software”) with destructive codes. Worms are able to mutate, or replace their own code by automatically, which makes worms very dangerous, difficult to find, and hard to delete. Similar to viruses, worms can spread to the other computers by secretly and automatically emailing themselves to other Internet users in your address book. The main difference between worms and viruses is that a worm wil replace your computer files rather than simply inserting their code into your files.

Is your computer infected with Worms?

Check for these symptoms of worms parasites on your PC, or click for SpyHunter’s free worms and spyware check*.

Slow computer performance. Even just one to two Worms parasites can clog your bandwidth and cause your computer performance to slow. Because types of Worms silently and secretly work in the background, you won’t be able to easily detect the Worms. If your computer is taking long periods to reboot or you have a slow Internet connection, these may be signs that your computer is infected with Worms.

New desktop shortcuts or switched homepage. Worms may change your Internet settings or redirect your default homepage to point to another web site. Worms may even add new desktop shortcuts on your PC. If you want to avoid these problems, keep your computer spyware-free and remove all traces of Worms.

Annoying popups on your PC. Worms may bombard your computer with popup ads, sometimes even when you’re not signed online. Worms may prevent regular Internet activity and track your surfing habits as well as your personal information. Remove Worms immediately because the more traces of Worms you have the more popups you’ll see on your computer.
