Computer viruses are a large inconvenience for many people. Their effects can range from simply bogging down your computer, to taking over your entire system, they can compromise your personal information, or hijack your e-mail contact list, sending embarrassing messages to your friends, family and business contacts.
So, what can be done? Do you really have to wipe out your entire computer to be rid of that nasty virus? We have the correct answer.
It’s Us Vs. the Virus
We see computer viruses every day. Some are somewhat harmless and others are downright nasty. Many viruses can be prevented. Here are some tips to help keep you safe:
1. Download a GOOD antivirus program. Recently, Norton and McAfee Antivirus have been disappointing at best… if you need a good antivirus, here are a few we like:
For your Windows 10 & 11 PC
Windows Defender Antivirus (Built right in but in most cases it is turned off by manufacturer)
For your older Windows PC
AVG Free Antivirus
Avast Free Antivirus
For your Mac
Eset Antivirus for Mac
2. Always be wary while on the internet. Pay attention to what you click, and if something seems suspicious, it probably is. Call us before you do something risky, and we can tell you what’s safe and what isn’t.
3. Clean your temporary files regularly.
4. If you suspect you have a virus, TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER. The more you use it, the more time the virus has to do it’s malicious work. Turn your computer off and call us right away.
5. If a software is telling you to purchase something for protection, it’s probably a scam… especially if it pretends to be from Microsoft. Call us right away to verify whether what you have on your screen is legitimate.
