If you’ve got the money to burn and would rather not read a simple guide on removing viruses yourself, a virus removal service can be really beneficial. If the computer you’re reading this on isn’t the first computer you’ve ever seen in your life, though, you may want to simply do it yourself!
To be fair, though, we’ll list the upsides of employing a virus removal service…
You can usually guarantee a pretty thorough job. This is how these guys make the rent, so you can bet that they’re going to be sure to zap every virus, spybot and worm leeching off your computer. It is an effective way to protect your computer and protect your identity.
And now, the downsides…
Hiring a virus removal service, you’re going to have to make that call again every single time your computer starts acting up. Virus makers are getting smarter, and sooner or later, your computer is going to pick one up. There’s simply no way around it, so it’s really more convenient if you learn to remove them for yourself.
The price can add up. When there are so many free virus scanners available, there’s very little incentive to spend a lot of money having someone else take care of it for you.
Virus removal services won’t protect your computer, they can only clean it up. Virus blockers and realtime scanners work as a great defense against infection. A removal service can only deal with the viruses that have already made their way into your system.
So with that in mind, here’s our quick and simple guide to removing viruses yourself…
Step one- Download a virus scanner (if you’re looking for a free one, we recommend Avira AntiVir).
Step two- Save and close anything you have open.
Step three- Install and execute your new virus scanner.
Step four- Get back to what you were doing a few minutes ago.
It really is pretty simple. The only worry is whether or not the virus scanner you picked up is going to be able to get every single virus on your computer. Luckily, a lot of virus scanners are updated on a daily basis with a new, wider database of known viruses, so if you run a check, say, once a week, you should be able to stay pretty clean.
Another way to make sure you’ve run a thorough scan is to download a few different scanners and run them one after another until they simply stop picking up viruses. AntiVir should be able to clean your system up in a flash, but viruses can be hard to predict, so the double check can’t hurt.
You know, this is basically all an antivirus service is going to do, anyways, so go ahead and save yourself some time and money and do it yourself.

What I could understand from this is you are trying to create an awareness among the people, to not to go for any virus removal service which is good.
but you know that people are going for the service because the product that they have is not protecting the machine from the latest threats.

All your step 1, 2 ,3 and 4 are again just asking the people to use the product, there is nothing more in it.
Please remember that no AV product in the world can provide 100% protection, I am 200% sure on this. So at last we need manual virus removal services in the world.
