Several things can be major factors in your computer’s security:

• Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware software
  • Use of both Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware
  • Update regularly
  • Scan regularly
• Computer Usage
  • Visiting adult or pirate websites
  • Using music download software (Limewire)
  • Play online gambling games (Party Poker)
  • Play “free” online games (Gamevance)
• Computer’s specifications
  • Memory and Processor
  • Operating System
  • Number of installed programs

There are a number of broad categories to avoid when surfing websites. Avoiding these things will help greatly reduce you chances of getting infected.

• Myspace: The main website is mostly clean, but any of the ads on the top or sides will have many different infections. Zwinky and the cursors and smileys specifically have some really nasty ones.
• Party Poker: And other gambling sites like it are stuffed full of spyware
• Pirate websites: places that support the downloading of illegal software generally don’t care about the law or what damage they do. Not many of these sites have viruses built into them, but it’s a large enough percentage to give note

Switching your browser from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome can also avoid many security vulnerabilities

If you don’t already have an antispyware program to augment your security software, feel free to choose from this list of free and effective antispyware utilities.

I’m glad you’ve made it to my page, because you’ve found one of the best places to get good information and excellent service for computers, entertainment systems, and video game consoles!

I will make every one of my customers like family, make your problems my problems, and treat them with just as much respect and effort as if I were repairing my own computer. Every computer I build is my baby, every computer I fix is a friend in need, and every customer I meet will be treated like my own kin. It is my wish to always be able to say to you “I can do that!”

Welcome to my family
