Overview:

The average computer user is aware of anti-virus and anti-spyware programs, but do they really work at removing the infection? In the author's experience, they do not work, at least not 100% of the time or even close to that. Virus and spyware removal can take many, many hours to complete. First one has to scan the computer, then they must remove the infections. If one is using multiple anti-spyware applications, one will have to scan and remediate with each piece of software. The usual run time is about 1-2 hours depending on the speed of the computer and the size of the hard drive. Add in multiple scans and one can easily see how this can take up lots of time.
