Virus Protection and Security
The Internet and E-mail are vital tools in our day to day lives. Unfortunately, their use exposes us to threats that can invade our computers and even steal our identities.
Today the majority of computers are infected with one or more virus, spyware, or other pest programs. Let us help you ensure the integrity of your computer systems.
A virus is a piece of software that attaches to real programs. For example, a virus might attach itself to a spreadsheet program. Each time the spreadsheet program runs, the virus runs, too, and it has the chance to reproduce by attaching to other programs or to perform some destructive processing.
Spyware is a generic term to describe many threats and nuisances. Common spyware problems include Pop-Ups and Browser Hijackers, but often there are far more dangerous underlying threats behind these browser pop-ups that can cause real damage or financial loss. Virus scanning software will not protect you from many of these types of threats - you need specialized spyware protection software to detect and remove these pests and to prevent them from attacking your computer system in the first place.
At the very least viruses, spyware, and other pests will consume your computer's resources, perhaps not even enough for you to notice, but sometimes enough to essentially take over your computer. But the damage these programs can do may be far greater, to the point of corrupting your computer to the point that it will not reboot, or to capture your keystrokes and send critical private information to a bulletin board, where it can be picked up by hackers.
We can provide you with the virus, spyware and intrusion protection that best fits your needs and budget. We will perform scans and removals, acquire and implement any required software, and ensure that your system is running at optimum efficiency.
