Virus and Mailware Removal

It’s happened to the best of us – your PC falls foul of malware, a virus, or some other nasty software which causes serious issues for you and your business.

To minimise the chance that your PC gets infected with a virus, here are a couple of sugestions

• Install a tried and tested antivirus program. IT Sales & Service recommends a range of products including ESET (NOD32), Vipre, Webroot and Trend Micro.
• Ensure you have the latest Windows updates, and select the option to check for updates automatically
• In Email, never click on a link or an email attachment unless you trust the sender and the content.
• Don’t trust all pop ups or update messages – malware is frequently made to mimic a required update for your PC.
• Update your OS: Microsoft will no longer support Windows XP after 8th April 2014, so now is the best time to upgrade to Windows 7 or 8 if you have not already done so.
