Is your computer stalling out, going slowly, groaning in pain, and dragging its feet? It could have picked up a virus or other type of malware while you were surfing the Internet. Luckily, an infected computer can be cured. Let us take a look at your computer before you take it to a box store that only believes in reinstalling your operating system and programs. We've never lost a client's pictures, videos, or documents, and we're proud of that track record.
There are several signs that your computer may have a virus, including:
- slow performance
- unable to launch programs
- browser hijacking
- multiple pop-up windows on start-up
- multiple browser windows/tabs opening for an unknown reason
Your computer may also have a potentially unwanted program, like the one shown here that tries to trick you into receiving fake support. The only way to know for sure is to have your computer scanned for viruses and malware.
The best course of action is to have the infection removed as soon as possible. Delaying could lead to slower performance, data security, identity theft issues, and, in extreme cases, data corruption.
Don’t worry. When you have a virus or spyware problem, help is just a call away.
