Computer Networking

 

If you have more than one PC in your home, have you considered networking them together? A home network allows your computers to share photos, documents, and videos, and even an internet connection. Even better, a wireless network is the cutting-edge way to connect all of the PC’s and laptops in your home. Wireless networks are perfect for people who want to connect laptop and desktop computers or for people who don't like to be tied down. And when you go wireless, you won't have the inconvenience of tripping over messy network cables.

 

Malware and Spyware Removal

 

Does it seem like your computer has a life of its own? It could be a virus or trojan. No matter what kind of computer you have, you always need the most up-to-date Anti-Virus software. Not only do Anti-Virus programs protect your computer from crashing, but they also prevent you from accidentally passing the infection to other computers of family and friends when you send e-mails or share files. If you're unsure about which virus software to install or how to configure it, just give us a call!

 

Internet Security Protection and Firewalls

 

How secure is your computer? As Internet usage has grown, so has the number of security threats. One way to protect yourself is to install a firewall, which keeps intruders from sneaking into your computer and accessing your private data. Firewalls also can alert you when unauthorized programs such as viruses and spyware attempt to transmit your sensitive information over the Internet. In particular, firewalls are crucial if you have the always-on Internet connection of DSL or a cable modem. Protect yourself and your family ... with help from Computer Guy - USA.

 

Data Transfer Backup and Recovery

 

How often do you backup your PC? If it were to crash or be stolen, would you lose important data? Computer Guy recommends installing a rewritable DVD burner or an external hard drive. In addition to helping you to backup your data safely, we also offer data-recovery services that can try to recover lost files resulting from hardware malfunctions, software conflicts, or viruses.

Preventive PC Maintenance and Optimization

 

You wouldn't drive a car for years without changing the oil, so why ignore your computer? Like any investment, your computer needs constant care, which means keeping it free of dust. When was the last time your PC had a thorough cleaning? If it has been more than six months, it is time to schedule a preventive-maintenance visit – let Computer Guy get you back up to speed today!

Tips & Tricks

How Do I Get Malware Off My PC?

My PC caught a spyware infection that replicates itself even after I've deleted it from the Windows Registry. I've tried all the spyware-removal tools I could find, but I am still unable to get rid of it.

If scanning with multiple antispyware programs doesn't remove it, try using Windows' System Restore feature (note that Windows 2000 lacks System Restore). Select Start, Programs (or All Programs), Accessories, System Tools, System Restore. Choose Restore my computer to an earlier time, click Next, pick the earliest Restore Point available on the displayed calendar, and follow the prompts.

Should System Restore fail to solve the problem, your next steps are to reboot your PC and press <F8>before your monitor switches resolution as Windows loads. At the resulting menu, select Safe Mode with a Command Prompt, and then pick your operating system. At the command prompt, typeC:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe, press<Enter>, and try running System Restore from there.

If your PC is still infected after this, I recommend that you seek the assistance of a professional. Contact the support desks of a company like Computer Guy which may have the solution for you and save your valuable time.

For the community approach to support, download the free HiJack This and run it to create a very technical report on your system's suspicious Windows behavior.

If all else fails, back up your data folders and get ready to reformat the PC's hard drive and restore your system from a full backup. If you don't have an image backup of your drive, you'll have to reinstall Windows, install and update your malware protection, and restore your data from the backup. or a list of the folders that likely contain your data. Instead of moving the folders (as that tip suggests), copy them to CDs, DVDs, or an external hard drive.

Of course, reformatting and restoring your drive is easiest if you've been using a backup program with good disaster recovery features. 

If you don't have a good system backup, reinstall Windows using the restore disc or Windows CD that came with your system, selecting an option that will destroy everything on your hard drive (best way to go). You'll also have to reset your Internet connection, and reinstall your hardware drivers and applications. 

Once you have Windows and your programs back in place, you'll have to update all of your security utilities, and then scan the backup of your data folders with your antivirus program before moving the files back to your hard drive. Think? :)
