Dallas Computer Repair Urges Shoring-up Security

PCVDs' Dallas computer repair is asking all personal PC users to shore-up their computer security by ensuring all anti-viruses are updated along with firewalls running the latest updates as several security articles emerge.

TechNewsWorld reports that utility companies using smart meters to monitor energy distribution across the U.S. electrical grid are continuing to depend on internet smart meters to determine where the energy distribution should take place on the grid. The lack of security in the system has had the ire of lawmakers and security experts. The problem appears, as PDVDs' Dallas Computer Repair is that the energy providers are not adequately securing and monitoring their own systems to prevent hacking and energy disruption.

Another news story that broke about Twitter was that they were hit with a Denial of Service (DoS), by Russians upset over a Georgia blogger, that also affected Facebook's individual users along with Facebook businesses.

Another blog by Dallas Laptop Repair also reports security problems this week that PCVDs' Dallas Computer Repair urges attention be given.

Laptop Repair- Can't Connect to Wireless Connection

Dallas Computer Repair asks, "Have you ever been on a trip outside your area and tried to connect to the internet with your laptop, yet to find out you cannot connect to the internet?" Chances are you may have malware embedded in your operating system that will not allow your portable laptop unit to connect or communicate with an outside source.

It is recommended by PC Virus Doctors' Dallas Computer Repair to have the following installed and updated before traveling to an outside internet connection:
  1. SuperAntiSpyware
  2. Ad-aware
  3. Spybot Search & Destroy
  4. An extra anti-virus such as ClamWin as a redundant backup
It is imperative to have these programs updated, according to Dallas Computer Repair, with the latest anti-malware signatures and advised to run them before one takes off for their destination point. Remember that if one cannot connect to the internet then the latest downloaded ani-malware signatures makes it impossible to rid your laptop/computer of bugs and junk that prohibit the PC from an internet connection.

PCVDs' Dallas Computer Repair strongly recommends that users install an open-source anti-virus, ClamWin, as previously mentioned as it can most often run along with paid anti-virus programs. Our Dallas computer repair also recommends to create a desktop icon when installing the anti-virus which can be a reminder for users that the tool is ready and available for use. Default installation allows for a once-a-day update that one will never know unless checked.

Always, keep your anti-malware updated daily to avoid costly time-outs!
