 Virus Avoidance
A good amount of our work is repairing the damage made by computer
viruses. Although we enjoy finding and eliminating the culprits,
there are a few things you can do to keep your PC out of our shop:
-
Begin by installing anti-viral software. Assure that the virus list
is kept current. Although we have supported Norton Anti-Virus for years,
they have steadily become a system resource hog. Currently, most of
our machines are protected by Grissoft's
AVG AntiVirus
-
Next, do not open attachments to email unless you are
certain the sender personally sent you the file. Many of the current
email carried viruses are sent to you from someone you know that is not even
aware their computer emailed you.
 Hard-Drive
Failure
Did you know that the failure rate of hard drives is
100%. In other words, it is not if your hard drive will fail, but
when. Do you have current backups of all your important data files?
If not, we can set you up a single-click routine from your desktop to
backup directly to a removable USB pen-drive.
