The most common cause of PC troubles today are viruses. 80-90% of the computers we work on will have at least 2 or 3 viruses on them. Are you protected?
If not, it's easy to get protected. We recommend Avast! Antivirus Home edition and Zonealarm's Free firewall, or for computers low on RAM, Comodo Antivirus and Firewall. Why? Because they are free for home users and they are quality products. Which one is best? As for the antivirus, Avast is one of the best because it includes a boot-time scan module which can detect and remove rootkits, software designed to protect themselves and trojans from detection. I recommend those products primarily because they are quality software packages that are free for home users, so you don't have to worry about renewal fees. The biggest gotcha with paid solutions is that when the subscription runs out and you don't feel like paying, you are again vulnerable. Thats why we recommend free products above paid solutions for most people. What if I'm already infected? Then you need your system cleaned before these products can protect you! So go ahead, pick up the phone and call us now at 910-398-4288! 
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THESE VIRUSES?
The answer to this question varies. Often they are used to take over control of your PC. The reason this occurs all spans around money. When they have control of your PC, they can use it to host illegal prescription drug sites whose primary purpose is to steal credit card information and identities. They can use your PC along with hundreds of thousands of others they control, called a bot-net, to take down a website in a DDOS atack in order to extort money from the website owner or also because the website made them mad (such as an anti-spam website). They can use their bot-net to break codes that would otherwise be impossible for them to break. They can use it to send spam which is primarily used to try and get you to buy illegal drugs or pirated software so they can steal your credit card information and identity. And what's most interesting is that much of this comes out of Russia and China! |
