Viruses & Malware

Those Kids... With Their Internets!

"They did something to my computer! Now, my desktop is littered with warnings, appearing from every direction, telling me that my system is insecure and that Company XYZ has the solution but only if I buy their anti-malware suite!"

Welcome to Fraud version 2.0! Of all the malware cases we get, this one is probably the most frequent. Unsavory businesses throughout the world have found that people respond to look and feel with predictable behavior, and have now gone out of their way to engineer malware and spyware to prey upon these very tendencies by making their shovelware look as close as possible to legitimate software.

Security Threat

No matter how you slice it, malware and spyware are serious security threats. There is absolutely no guarantee that any malware, regardless of how benign it may seem is not keylogging or transmitting other critical data to third parties. Malware and Spyware must be assessed and annihilated as soon after installation as possible. Apathy towards the behavior of such software will lead to further, and invariably more complicated problems down the road. A call to us today is far more preferable than a call to the Social Security Administration Office tomorrow. Believe us.
