Computer Viruses Galore

Wow, the computer viruses and trojans are at a record pace with Dallas Computer Repair. The last virus/ trojan repair was over 200 different malware with another 200 plus adware/spyware.

Most of these problems begin when Norton or McAfee subscriptions run out. People will not take any proactive measures and become infected with the malware and probably worst they end up having a lot of personal identity stolen.

Google Pack and Norton Anti-Virus

Dallas Computer Repair downloaded Norton Anti-virus as a partial Google Pack download along with Google Earth. Google Earth was the slowest download experienced on the internet in quiet some time. Are Google's servers really that slow? Apparently, the servers are in the Googlebot mode and are busy servicing the search engines rather than allowing for expedient downloads if indeed the download came from Google's servers.

The Norton Anti-virus downloaded much easier, however, the version was from March of 2006 which took forever and a day to update. Is it really that hard for Norton to update their download version for Google? Apparently so as PC Virus Doctors are seeing this as a trend from other anti-virus vendors.

Dallas Computer Repair ran a scan that went fairly quickly as the internet was being used by the computer and the scan ran well without noticing any much of interference from the scan and the scan came clean but we expected adware or spyware at least (if not something worst) to show up if something not nastier since the particular computer has been behaving sluggish with the mouse suspecting some type of logging.
