Viruses

Computer Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses and other "mal-ware" (collectively referred to as viruses) are trying to take over the computer world!  

Well not really, but, catch a computer virus and see if it doesn't knock your world on its can for a few days or more.  It could also help you to lose friends and business associates when your virus spreads from your system to theirs via email.  All unbeknownst to you....

In the 1990's computer viruses started spreading at an alarming rate.  Hundreds of new viruses appear every year (Avg. 1 a day).  If you are connecting to the internet, and you don't have a CURRENT UPDATED Anti-Virus software product, the chances of you getting a computer virus are HUGE!

Look at just these two links to see which viruses have been discovered in the past month:

Top 20 from Kaspersky Anti-Virus Labs

From Symantec (Norton Anti-Virus)

From McAfee (McAfee VirusScan) 

We can help you to  get rid of any viruses you may already have (you may not even know you have them) and help you to protect your computer from contracting any in the future.

 

SPAM

Unsolicited Commercial Email also known as UCE or more commonly SPAM is clogging up the Internet and almost everybody's in-boxes.  

Much of the SPAM is Pornographic in nature.  You may not want to see that, and you certainly don't want your kids or grandkids to see it.

In 2001, SPAM accounted for about 8% of all emails.  As of January 2004, SPAM accounts for as much as 60% or more of ALL Email received in the USA.  On our Servers, it is approximately 80%.

President George W. Bush recently signed the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 which hopes to reduce SPAM in the future, but don't count on it.  Much of the Spam is originating  from overseas (China, Russia, Korea, Eastern Europe) where the US Government has no ability to police it.

There are several inexpensive software solutions and services available to help cut down on the amount of SPAM and we can help you to pick them, set them up for you and teach how you use them effectively.
