People examine the code of the virus or spyware and they try to alter it to make it harmless to your computer. They run anti spyware and anti virus tools .

like the ones listed below

1. Run Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) 2. Run the vundo and combo fix 3. Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 4. Run the anti spyware removal programs spybot 5 Run Superantispyware 6. Run a complete scan with free curing utility Dr.Web CureIt! By using anti-virus software, or possibly having to format your hard drive. Try the anti-virus option first.

Very tricky ways. The two main ways are this:

1.Pornography- Spyware, Trojan and malware post several viruses online to porn sites, knowing several people go to these a day.

2.They have a fake security system known as Total Security. If you see this, don't take it. Its a form of spyware that tells you you're comp is infected when its not, and tricks you into downloading it, when ITS the virus. Once installed, it targets you're computers defense systems such as Control panel, command prompt, ect. Once you're defense systems are down, it doesnt allow you on them until you pay money for Total Security, or you can download a Total Security remover online before its too late. VERY TRICKY viruses indeed. don't fall for them.
