Two of the most common causes of recurring computer errors are malware infections and a corrupt Windows registry. To check your PC for malware infections, it is best to invest in some good security tools, such as STOPzilla Antivirus and Spyware Cease. You must schedule these tools to run regular scans on your computer to ensure that the system stays free from any type of infection.
