Virus Removal / Prevention

Virus and spyware attacks have been a problem for computer users for decades and they’re becoming more frequent and harmful as the years go by. Statistics show that roughly 27% of adults in England and Wales were infected by a virus or spyware of some sort. Computer users should be aware of the following points;

• 1 out of every 10 websites contains a virus threat
• 1 in 4 e-mails sent contain malicious code that could compromise your computer

More than often viruses are rapidly distributed via flash drives, therefore important measures are needed to be put into place to reduce the chance of an infected computer. More than likely the following symptoms are seen on an infected system;

• Extremely sluggish performance
• Frequent system crashes
• Changed home-page on your web browser
• Notifications advising you to install software that doesn’t even exist

The symptoms listed above are only a few of the vast many out there. To prevent this from happening to your system an anti-virus should be installed along with the latest updates and regular, thorough scans. At The Tech Friend, we offer a service package that includes an in-depth scan along with the installation of UK’s leading anti-virus provider.
