Computer infected with safenavweb? Be very careful with this program because it can easily corrupt your hard drive. Although it is very dangerous, if you take the proper steps to protect yourself then you can remove safenavweb easily.
Safenavweb is a rogue anti-spyware program that will hijack your browser. A rogue program is one that gives you "false positive" spyware infection warnings while promoting their own spyware removal tool. Downloading this tool will simply infect your compuer further while compromising any confidential information you entered in order to get it.
This spyware program works in a few different ways. One tactic safenavweb uses is to hijack your browser and point you to their own homepage. They may feature products to download and "fix" your supposed spyware problem. Whatever you do, please DO NOT download any of their software. They are simply shell programs that could potentially destroy your computer.
Safenavweb can also work to hijack your desktop (often replacing it with the "biohazard" background) while bombarding you with with pop up ads and other warnings.. Again do not click on any of these pop ups. I would be very careful using your web browser as well because this spyware program will redirect you to different malicious websites.
Removing safenavweb can be done to different ways:
1. You can remove the spyware manually through the Add/Remove function in your control panel. You also need to delete the files associated with safenavweb in your registry.
2. You can download a spyware removal tool to do it for you.
I recommend option 2 for a couple of reasons. Unless you are a computer expert it can be difficult to locate and eliminate all of the files associated with safenavweb. You also run the risk of deleting necessary system files which can damage your computer even worse.
If you are not an expert I recommend scanning your computer with what I believe to be the best spyware remover on the internet. I have tested this program in the past and it had no trouble removing safenavweb. It will also protect you against future spyware attacks. Whatever you decide, do not let safenavweb linger on your computer, get rid of it ASAP.
