FBI Releases Warning on Rogue AntiMalware
The FBI has issued a press release on December 11 warning of rogue malware that uses popup warnings to alarm users into buying a fake anti-malware/trojan/virus/worm removers. Dallas Virus Removal has seen an alarming increase in the local area beginning last October.
The FBI warns that message contains viruses that could lead to costly repairs or even identity theft. The press releases continues to explain that botnets are used to push advertising on websites with bad advertising also known as "malvertising" using scare tactics to lure PC users into buying the illegitimate software. The software throws a popup on the screen claiming users are infected with trojans, viruses and worms and the malware remover needs to be "registered" (i.e. paid for) for the infections to be removed.
The malicious software cannot be closed out or "X" out and further instructions to download the package could result in worst damage, downloading more malicious software or even keyloggers that log keystrokes on victims computers. The FBI reports that these rogue programs have been estimated to be responsible for about $150 billion dollars in damage.
The FBI asks those who have experienced these popups or infections to contact the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3); www.IC3.gov
Contact Dallas Virus Removal for assistance in removing fake programs, viruses, trojans, spyware and adware.

Anti-Virus/Malware Programs are Essential

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:
It is recommended by PC Virus Doctors' Dallas Computer Repair to have the following installed and updated before traveling to an outside internet connection:
- SuperAntiSpyware
- Ad-aware
- Spybot Search & Destroy
- 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!
