How to remove Win32.Injector.CCQ from your computer?

Win32.Injector.CCQ should be removed in safe mode with networking so as to ensure a much thorough removal – reboot the computer, continuously pressing F8 and choose “safe mode with networking” from the menu. However, to ensure a safer and quicker removal process, I recommend PC Safe Doctor as Win32.Injector.CCQ always hides itself in the deepest part of the computer or disguise some of its files as legitimate system files. If all of its related entries are not removed completely, serious problems like frequent program lock-ups, system crashes will come on the neck of another.

Recommended solution to remove Win32.Injector.CCQ :-
1) Download PC Safe Doctor on your computer.
2)Run PC Safe Doctor after finishing the installation.
3)Click “Start Online Scan” to thoroughly scan your computer.
4)If Win32.Injector.CCQ is detected after the scan, simply click “Remove” to delete this malicious item.

However, if you are sure that you have a full understanding on how the harmful Win32.Injector.CCQ works, you can try removing it manually.

Why does the number of threats stopped go down?

"On TrendMicro, the list of "Threats stopped" in the past month sometimes goes down rather than up, sometimes by a huge amount in one day. Could this signify a threat that was previously thought to have been stopped but now isn't? Why would it do this?"

This is the normal procedure of this product. It consumes lots of cpu potential and slows down the process. you may use Trend Micro Smart Protection Network for better performance. Also it depends on RAM/Process speed/network bandwidth etc. you may link here to clear the concept, specially on TroubleShoot Chapter

Malware

Malware, short for malicious software, is programming (code, scripts, active content, and other software) designed to disrupt or deny operation, gather information that leads to loss of privacy or exploitation, gain unauthorized access to system resources, and other abusive behavior.

How Malwares Attack
Malware is a category of malicious code that includes viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. Destructive malware will utilize popular communication tools to spread, including worms sent through email and instant messages, Trojan horses dropped from web sites, and virus-infected files downloaded from peer-to-peer connections. Malware will also seek to exploit existing vulnerabilities on systems making their entry quiet and easy.

How Do You Know that there is a Malware
Malware works to remain unnoticed, either by actively hiding or by simply not making its presence on a system known to the user

What To Do when your computer or file has Malware
Only open email or IM attachments that come from a trusted source and that are expected
Have email attachments scanned by Antivirus prior to opening
Delete all unwanted messages without opening
Do not click on Web links sent by someone you do not know
If a person on your friend list is sending strange messages, files, or web site links, terminate your IM session
Scan all files with an Internet Security solution before transferring them to your system
Only transfer files from a well known source
Use Internet Security software to block all unsolicited outbound communication
Keep security patches up to date

VIRUS : What is computer virus? Which is the best free antivirus available ?

What is computer virus?

I know you would say whats the need to know "What is virus ?" well i would say without knowing what the virus is how would you be inclined to download and update an antivirus.

A virus is program, which reproduces its own code by attacking other programs in such a way that the virus code is executed. note that this is done without permission or knowledge of the user. A virus can destroy software,modify programs,delete files etc. While doing all its malicious actions virus keeps on spreading itself.

This results in your loosing control over your own computer.
From this information it is clear that virus is like a parasite which affects our body( in this case computer) and then feeds on the host. the way biological virus destroys our cells and reproduces, computer virus destroys computer's files and data. Be cautious these file and data can be anything may be your photos or office spreadsheets.
