As long as the Internet exists viruses will be a constant threat. They aren't going away. Don't leave your data unprotected. Customers lose valuable data every day that could have been prevented or could have been salvaged. Our team of professional technicians can help you rid your computer of infections and keep you safe going forward!

Some steps you can take to prevent viruses on your computer are:

• Don't wait until you KNOW you have a virus to call a professional technician. If you suspect a virus, turn the computer off and give us a call. We see these all the time, day in and day out and a few questions can possibly help diagnose if the threat is real or not.
• Don't set your antivirus software once and then expect it to take care of all your problems. Run antivirus scans at least weekly, though we suggest daily to get the maximum benefit.
• Make sure your virus definitions are updated daily.
• Use Limited Accounts on computers, not administrator accounts.
• Don't use programs such as LimeWire, Kazaa, or others if you aren't very proficient in how to virus scan your downloads. The majority of computers we repair that aren't fake-antivirus problems are related to illegal downloads that were infected when users downloaded them.

All these steps are very easy to perform. If you don't know how to check these settings on your computer, we can do it using remote assistance and verify your computer is setup like it should be to keep you safe!

If you have been infected, Twisted Networx has many tools and utilities to rid your PC of viruses and we can teach you how to prevent them in the future. Most virus repairs can be performed remotely, but in-shop or in-home appointments are welcome as well. Contact us today to inquire how to protect yourself and your data.
