The most important thing you can do, if you think you've been infected, is stop using the computer. If you've been compromised, you may be sharing data already. If you can remove yourself from the internet, all the better. Turn off wireless card or pull ethernet cable. That will stop the loading of any new malware. Then call us. We will use a multi-pass approach, including a manual scan of files, to identify and eradicate the bad files.

By definition, malware refers to software programs designed to damage or do other unwanted actions on a computer system, typically loaded without your knowledge.

Common examples of malware include viruses, worms, trojan horses, and spyware. Viruses, for example, can cause havoc on a computer's hard drive by deleting files or directory information. Spyware can gather data from a user's system without the user knowing it. This can include anything from the Web pages a user visits, to personal information, such as credit card numbers.

We can effectively and securely eradicate all these baddies from your system, and at the same time set you up to safely block most infections automatically in the future. You need to be as well-armed as possible every time you get on the internet.

Tri-County Technology will also work with you while on-site, to reduce your potential for getting infected again. Between software, and an increased knowledge and awareness of what type of web sites are notorious for being infection vectors, we can help make you safer and more secure.
