Anti-Virus/Malware Programs are Essential

PC Virus Doctors uses multiple anti-spyware/virus/trojan/malware removers to ensure that PCs stay as secure and clean as possible. Today's computing environment requires internet interaction to access emails and websites for information needed to run business and personal correspondance to keep our personal lives and businesses running as smoothly as possible.

There is always the threat of an infected email that finds its way into computers or embedded programs that are surreptitiously installed on legitimate websites. Many of these malwares, viruses, etc. are difficult to extremely difficult to uninstall and often times causes PCs to not be able to access the internet.

An anti-virus article on InformationWeek talks about the continuing necessity of malware removers regardless of increasing security in operating systems regardless if they are Windows, unix or linux. "Zero day attacks" exploits occur as malware authors seek out vulnerabilites in systems.

PC Users can Minimize Malware by:
  1. Don't use file-sharing
  2. Don't open attachments
  3. Be careful when installing software
  4. Be cautious when visiting websites
  5. Make sure you are using the most up-to-date browser
  6. Be sure the latest patches and updates are applied to the operating system
  7. Update Java
  8. Use the latest version of Adobe
Restore Points for Protection:

Users can assure restore points are available by peering into restore points via start>all programs>accessories>system tools>system restore and then clicking next to see if dates are listed in bold print and clicking on one or more to ascertain if a restoration is possible at certain dates clicked on and specific times and whether adding programs or removing programs is listed under the times in order to reverse undesirable computer behavior when those programs were installed or uninstalled.

Malware Onslaught in Dallas Computers

Dallas Computer Repair's PC Virus Doctors have seen an onslaught of computers infected with nasty trojans that will not allow users to take control of their PCs or Laptops. Most of the trojans come from rogue anti-malware programs that are designed to take people's money through bogus programs that sometimes masquerade as legitimate programs such as Microsoft or other legitimate malware corporations.

The programs are difficult to remove and more often than desired the operating systems must be reinstalled because the malware has corrupted either startup files or communication files/devices such as wireless modems, etc. PC Virus Doctors' Dallas Virus Removal becomes a timely process that can take hours to complete the project and ensure no other trojans lie on the system that may reinfect the entire system once connected to the internet.

Be deligent and keep all malware programs updated with the latest signatures.

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!

Computer Repair Shops Violate Customer Trust

PC Virus Doctors' Dallas Computer Repair recently gained knowledge of computer repair shops that have invaded customers private files and passwords to financial institutions, social networks and email accounts.

Let it be said and written here: Our customers data will never be compromised for any reason without the customer being fully aware and have instructed PC Virus Doctors to seek private information for the purposes of data retrieval.

An undercover investigation found that when a new laptop was sent to a repair shop for "repair" that the technicians were viewing and even copying private data. Investigators rigged the laptop with hidden spyware and cameras to capture all moves the technicians made. In order to get the faulty laptop running, the technicians simply had to 'snap the chip back into position'; reseat the chip.

One computer repair shop told the customer that a new board must be purchased at what appeared to be retail cost. Several computer repair shops were caught in England and only one repair shop was honest in the whole assessment and did not charge anything for the fix.

PC Virus Doctors' Dallas Computer Repair have been continuing to repair computers and laptops around the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex in an honest and expediant fashion.
