If you’re using Windows Firewall on your PC – always my sure it is enabled. This specific customer had it disabled which led to access to his machine through many ports from unwelcome guests. To make sure your firewall is enabled – check the settings by going to your control panel. Here’s a short tutorial video on how it’s done in Windows XP. Other Windows versions are similar.

Oregon City gal had little to no internet signal strength on her bedroom PC. Always keep your wireless routers away from outside walls and try and position towards the middle of the house if possible.
She also had one small virus which was quickly removed by using Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MRT).

Been doing a lot of PC repairs in West Linn lately thanks to referrals made by happy customers. Today we removed a particularly annoying worm which had imbedded itself onto a small home network. Conficker.C is not the easiest piece of malware to eradicate and still seems to be periodically updated by it’s authors. Conficker is still one of the most widely spread worms in the world.

Personal Antivirus (a.k.a. Personal Antivirus 2009) takes personal interest in your money, not your PC. The tool is neither able to scan a system nor is it able to remove infections. Personal Antivirus simply fabricates security reports and asks you to pay for deleting imaginary infections. Ignore these reports and Personal Antivirus and delete it as soon as possible. We safely removed this form of malware from 2 computers in the Canby area today.

Sometimes the solutions to a client’s computer problems can be as simple as a faulty keyboard. Such was the case today. The client’s PC was not getting past post on the Windows XP OS. A simple switch out of the Molalla computer’s keyboard did the trick and the customer was happy.
