Maintaining the health of your computer is one the most important things you can do. The average person downloads hundreds of pieces of information every year (music files, photos, software etc.) without thinking about what danger may be lurking in the files.
Regular maintenance of your computer can help to remove any worms, key loggers, malware, spyware or regular nuisance computer viruses that may be infecting your computer. And with the increased popularity of internet banking and social media, more and more people are finding their bank accounts targeted by hackers and their email accounts the victims of mass virus attacks. If you are not checking exactly what is in each file that you download, you are exposing yourself and your contacts to a lot of danger.
There are many people who have found themselves paying for a reformat of their computer – ultimately paying a computer expert to have their computer wiped cleaned of everything stored on it due to a serious virus infection that has been allowed to corrupt the entire system. This often means that all of your valuable files are gone: photos, documents and software. Everything you have ever had saved will no longer be accessed and neither will your current operating system.
If you feel your computer desktop or laptop has been attacked and infested by a computer virus you may experience several symptons such as: a slow down in performance, erratic behaviour, replication of files, unrecognized files appearing, and other behaviors that were not present prior to the incident. We recommend that you immediately shut the computer down and call us MB Systems and get a free consultation on what to do next. We can help you recover those lost files!
