Virus Alert:

The damage these viruses can cause can be devastating and many times this damage is irreversible and usually requires a computer technician to resolve the problems generated by these viral infection files.

Some times data can only be recovered if you have proper back ups while at other times proper virus removal tools and procedure may help clean up the data.

Anti-Virus software is your best line of defense and must be installed on every computer you use. This software is most cost effective and many users can install it themselves without our assistance. Proper installation and periodic upgrade of virus definition files is key to prevention of virus infections.

Norton Anti-Virus and McAfee Anti-Virus are the 2 most popular programs available today. Regardless which program you choose, installing it is only half of the solution. You MUST regularly update the anti-virus definition tables provided by the anti-virus software manufacturer via their web site. Since new viruses, Trojan Horses and Worms are introduced on a daily basis, it is important to update your definition files at least once every two weeks. Most Anti-Virus software companies will allow you 1 year of updates at no additional cost, and then charge a nominal annual subscription fee for future updates.

Remember, the best line of defense to protect your data is to automate back up process and back up frequently.
