Viruses - How they steal from us all! Viruses modify the way your computer works in many different ways. they are designed to replicate themselves across file structures as well as propagate among other computers they come in contact with. Rarely are they non-destructive, and they come in many different forms.
Technically a PC Virus has any number of functions, one of which may be to breach the security of your system to gather information such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, banking information or other personally identifiable target.
Most viruses are maliciously constructed, many join your PC to other networks that the user is unaware of for purposes of targeting and stealing your personal or corporate information. Many will control your PC, and use it to target other computer systems in a coordinated attack (making a PC a "zombie") to bring larger ISP (Internet Service Providers) servers offline such as has been the case with AOL, Yahoo and other major ISP providers.
Some viruses manipulate and craft logical attacks against local or foreign governments as well. Whatever the intent, it is rarely an easy removal process to rid yourself of any virus without in-depth knowledge of how to insure you are not simply increasing the damages to your data or (in the case of Logic Bombs) - triggering a mechanism that will format your hard drive clean or (worse) infect your boot sector and thus removing your ability to even use your hard drive ever again. To proceed with virus removal without knowing what you are fighting against, is as good as walking into a "never before visited" room with the lights off and having your eyes closed. Without professional assistance during removal you may even cause more harm (in the case of Logic Bombs). Today's malicious software Viruses and Trojan Horses can steal your identity & ruin your credit identity in seconds, without you ever realizing anything even happened. In order to fight back, you must be able to help yourself and you must have your own small army of tools to defend your PC. There truly are too many viruses out there to keep up on your own in fighting them, so we suggest you get a anti-virus solution that keeps your system up to date automatically, and one that also scans your PC automatically on a daily basis. Viruses - & - Anti-Virus help! Virus writers don't charge a fee to write their files, (usually they just steal from the intended victims whatever they want)... a major point for virus writers is to remain anonymous. Maybe they are trying to exact some form of revenge or make some form of protest. Some just do so simply because they can. Some writers are just in need of attention, all are in need of something they lack. Whatever the reason of the virus writers hold in their mind that allows them to commit the acts that they do, there are just as many reasons for those of us who wish to remove them from being able to exact their revenge, proliferate their un-ethical tactics along with their methods, and permanently remove them from being granted use on a public forum such as the internet. Too many people are becoming victims of identity crimes and some of us are tired of sitting on the sidelines watching it happen. So, what can we do to help....? Better yet, how can we collectively help ourselves... At Couri tech we point out some things we can all do for free, to help ourselves out. Here is a list of websites you can visit to greatly increase your chance of surviving or stopping a virus - and a few tips that can help you get rid of viruses once you've been infected.
We offer below some program choices, in out attempt to help our customers fight and hopefully stop infections from ever happening, or to prevent the further spreading of infections to other PC systems & networks! 140 Village Shopping Center Westminster, MD 21157 (410)- 848-7100
