Of all the computer services we provide in the Roanoke Va area, by far the most popular is virus removal.
Quite often of late I’m asked, "What can I do to prevent a virus infecting my computer?"
The simplest answer I can offer is - do NOT click on any “Pop-Ups!”
Virus protection has become so good lately that the virus writers have to “trick” you into basically inviting them into your computer. They rely on human nature – our wanting to get rid of what's blocking us from doing whatever we’re doing by clicking on the red "X" or the "Cancel" button. When we do this, we send a user-generated response which opens the gate on the firewall, and the virus just walks right in and sits right down.
So how do we g rid of the Pop-Up without clicking on it? Use the old "Ctrl-Alt-Del" key combination - a menu appears, one of the options is "Task Manager." Simply highlight the Pop-Up, and click "End Task." This will prevent the user-generated input the virus requires to infect your computer.
Should you get a virus infection, please call or email us to remove the infection and get your computer up & running again.
