Virus protection and removal

There once was a time when the Internet was a safe place. We used to surf the Web without a care, without even knowing what a firewall was. Unfortunately, those innocent days are gone forever.

Today the Internet, because of commercialization, freedom and anonymity, has become a dangerous place in many ways. One way is by predatory software that unethical people try to install on your computer without your knowledge. And as time goes on these malicious programs are becoming more sophisticated.

That's why it's crucial that you use a good firewall and anti-virus program when you access the Internet. Here at Computer Resources we can recommend and install excellent programs to protect you, and they will cost you nothing beyond our set-up time.

But if you're already infected with a virus, trojan, or fake anti-virus program, your concern right now is to get rid of it and get your system back to safe running order.

With our experience, we will defeat the virus and remove it from your system. Sometimes this is straightforward and quick. Other times the virus may have strong self-defense mechanisms, or be deeply-rooted, residing outside the operating system in the disk’s basic boot files. In either case, we will get rid of the malware and restore your computer’s functionality.

A special note. We have been seeing a lot of what are called Rogue Antiviruses. These pop up windows warning that you have a virus, preventing you from using the computer for anything. The irony is that these warnings themselves are the virus. They are extorting money from you to turn off the warnings. Do not give these people your credit card number. You will end up paying to remove that virus many times over. Call us to have the virus removed properly, once and for all.

If you do have a virus, it is critical to have it removed immediately, as it can be spying on your activities and raiding your personal information. Please do not delay getting your system cleansed and secured.
