Virus Removal

We are sure that most computer users are aware of what viruses are and how much havoc they can cause on your computer.   Many viruses are  mundane and at worst, they may send emails to everyone in your address book that cause minor disruptions. At the worst or highest destruction levels, they can attack your hard drive and completely remove all its information by sending a format command to the hard drive that you will not be able to stop once started, or  the virus can alter or changed your bios settings so your computer will not boot properly or at all.

IT IS ESSENTIAL that you have a very good quality virus protection program on your computer to stop  potential viruses before they invade your system.  It should be noted, that you should NEVER run two anti-virus programs at the same time and that no anti-virus program is 100% effective 100% of the time. 

For some reason,  people believe if they do not open attachments to their emails they will be safe.  Not so, says the wise man . Viruses can come from multiple sources and YOU ARE VULNERABLE.    An analogy would be like saying if I avoid people with the flu, I won't get the flu. Yes, that strategy will certainly lower your risk of getting the flu, but it does not offer any guarantees that you will not catch the flu.

It would appear that people hate to pay out that annual fee for virus protection, especially because it is not a tangible item.  What would you pay to get all your data, photos, music, videos etc. back if your hard drive is wiped out and all your information is gone, a lot we think.  Pay the price and invest in a good anti-virus program.

If you feel your computer is already infected, we can do a complete scan of all storage media and remove all known virus files.     We will then recommend a high quality virus program and install it for you if you request us to do so.    We can even suggest some pretty decent free virus programs if you like and install them as well.
