Antivirus.net- Rogue Antivirus

PC Virus Doctors' Computer Repair has ventured across another rogue antivirus called Antivirus.net on a laptop repair. This fake antivirus is stealthy and it appears it entered the system via a Java exploit. One clue is that Java reports that updates are available, however, Java will not update nor will Windows 7 allow Java to be uninstalled.

Another characteristic of Antivirus.net is that Internet Explorer (IE) would not connect to the internet and only some antimalware programs would install while others would not install. Also Kaspersky would not uninstall even with Kaspersky's removal tool.

Disk checks can sometimes get users out of jams and helps to avoid PC repairs. Sometimes the system files can get corrupted and not allow some of the functions like the above problems.

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!

Dallas PC Repair- Help for Laptop Heat Issues

PC Virus Doctors have observed for years how heat affects desktops and laptops over time. Heat is electronic circuitry's worst enemy along with water exposure. Humidity is a complete different issue to tackle than heat; here is where heat issues can be ameliorated.

Cooling laptops is not easy as it sounds where the environment is enclosed around the motherboard and only a cpu fan and possibly a fan blowing out a ventilated area on the case enclosure. The only way to efficiently deliver cooling is through external means. Even a small oscillating fan on a desk or support alongside the laptop would be of some beneficial help but not enough. A better delivery system of "forced air" is the 'cooling pad'.

Cooling pads are just a few inches tall or shorter, the width and length of the laptop with a varied numbered of fans that force air around the machine. The cooling units are available from large local electronic suppliers and the price ranges from around $25 on up to about $65. Check out the coolers and note how many fans they have or support. The more fans the better the entire laptop will stay cool. There are many components to heat installed all under the motherboard; such components as modems, ram, optical drives, usb ports, ac/dc jack, pci slots, hard drives, and other components that can individually collect heat quickly.

PCVD's Dallas Laptop Repair recommends the most fans a cooling pad system supports. It is much easier and cost-to-self-insurance to supply the cooling system. This in our opinion is better than any warranty issued as far as naturally occurring issues versus 'user abuse' protection, such as dropping the unit.

The bottom line is: the more fans distributed across the cooling pad platform the better.

Dallas Laptop Repair Tips

PC Virus Doctors' Dallas Laptop Repair has encountered numerous physical breakdowns of laptops lately where heat is the suspected culprit. Laptop users should always use a cooling pad when the laptop is turned on so the fans within the cooling pad continue to blow air onto the bottom of the machine. The fans blow across the cpu units on the laptop which moves air much more efficiently than the laptop can do on its own. These laptop cooling pads are only around $20-$60 but can save hundreds of dollars in the short run of a few years.

Dallas Laptop Repair

PCVD's Dallas laptop repair has seen an increase in bogus attempts to install anti-malware in PC systems that are just illegitimate pieces of software designed for hacking, trojan activity, popups, etc. Malware removal is never more challenging than ever as the malware authors design the program to remain stealth while trying to be removed.

Some of the latest, virus/trojans/malware can take hours and days to resolve as worldwide solutions are awaiting the latest variation in malwares. The solutions are hard to achieve quickly as the largest anti-virus companies remain behind PC Virus Doctors in resolving malware issues. PC Virus Doctors struggle often and long to resolve the very latest of malware downloaded by our customers due to the "Contemporary/New" state the written malware is presently in.

Many times the computer/laptop hard drive must be removed, scanned with anti-virus/malware removers such as ad removers and popup removers, then scanned again when rebooted in the original Laptop/PC case. The process has become laborous and PC Virus Doctors have made external drives that are more current with e-sata speeds.

The results with dual-core technology and quicker drive access speed dramatically increaseses service delivery overall that is needed for quality control checks and time taken.
