Malware and Viruses
Here is a brief except from SaferInternet.org regarding this topic (the entire page can be accessed here Viruses and Malware).
Malware is the term given to malicious software that has been designed to secretly access a computer network or system, without the owner's consent. The term includes viruses, worms, adware, spyware, or any other form of malicious or unwanted software. Once there, malware usually causes some unexpected and undesirable result, ranging from being intrusive or annoying (in the case of adware), to compromising your personal information (in the form of keystroke-logging spyware used for identity theft), or outright destructive (in the form of viruses which might destroy system files or impact upon the operation of your system).
I often deal with many customers who just cannot understand why they are infected when they have paid for "Protection" from a number of reputable companies. This is not always easy to explain, but usually the problem just "creeps up" from general habits of internet use.
It is never safe to just "live" with a slow computer that was otherwise once fast! The fact is, the "slowness" is a symptom of trouble brewing! Eventually, I will get the call that they simply cannot do "anything" on their computer anymore!
Don't wait for this to happen! Call me today so I can give you an assessment before it gets worse. I can often conduct this diagnostic and even a repair with remote access! Using state of the art high level secure remote connectivity, you can sit back and wait while the work gets done and you'll be trouble-free in no time!
Go to my Contact page to tell me what your situation is right now. I'll email you back with a response. It's that easy!
