What's The Deal?

Spyware and viruses can ruin your computer.  Ruthless hackers and unscrupulous, anonymous, marketers of products, both legal and illegal have countless tools at their disposal to take over your computer for their own dubious purposes.  DMT Computer Solutions is here to help you take your computer back, and bulletproof it against these perpetrators of cyber-chaos.

A lot of people think that they can go out and buy anti-virus/anti-spyware after getting an infection and these programs will magically restore their computer to its former working condition.  The truth is that by the time you see your first pop-up it is already too late.  If you happen to get a virus that attacks your system files, there is nothing an antivirus program can do for you once you are infected.

Take a look at the list below so you can educate yourself on the differences between the 2 different kinds of evil software, or malware, that hackers use to cripple your computer.

Spyware Virus
Spyware is software that a seemingly legitimate website will secretly install to your computer that allows it to monitor which websites you visit.  It will then use this information to forcefully market products and services that are deemed relevant to your web usage.  It is characterized by the following behavior. A computer virus is typically sent through an email attachment.  If you open an email that looks like a web page instead of plain text it can download the virus to your computer without your knowledge.  Viruses have a wide range of capabilities but generally the first thing you notice is that your PC is behaving in mildly unexpected ways.
Many continuous pop-ups Windows programs crash often and regularly
Internet Explorer opens to a page you don't recognize You get a blue screen and your computer freezes, also known as the blue screen of death.
You cannot go to the web pages you are trying to reach. Photos, and documents have been deleted without your knowledge
An extra toolbar appears when you open Internet Explorer (some of these are legitimate, ie. google or msn toolbar) Your hard drive gets full all by itself

These are just some of the ways malware can affect you.  To make matters worse, viruses and spyware are constantly evolving so that they can avoid detection by programs like McAfee and Norton anti-virus suites.  Even if you keep the definitions files up-to-date, the people that write the malware are always a few steps ahead of them.

If you got an infection before purchasing an anti virus program, the only solution is usually a re-install of your original software.  DMT Computer Solutions can help make that process as painless as possible.  So please contact us  immediately.

If you have Norton or McAfee already installed and still have not been able to rid yourself from these attacks.  You also need to re-install.

Once DMT helps you get your computer back to working order, we can help make sure that viruses, and spyware never come back to haunt you again.  Quite simply, we can make your system bulletproof.
