Stay Secure

Did you know?

One in Ten End Users will have their Identity Stolen.

(Source - Dark Web Report)

A security assessment of 500,000 end-user PCs was recently conducted. The results were staggering! Only 304 were 100% patched! Only 304 computers were fully protected from malware attacks, out of 1/2 million computers! Malware has been in recent headlines and all over the TV. You may not know exactly what malware is, but now you know it exists. Now, it becomes impossible to ignore. Your PC likely has malware running on it right now.

Crash course on malware. This information comes to you courtesy of the FBI website. They call it the PC Survival Time Challenge. I call it the single most destructive programming on the planet. And IT REQUIRES YOUR ATTENTION. Malware is an ever-evolving, malicious computer code, that defeats your antivirus protection, within 6 minutes. This information was gleaned from the FBI website. Your antivirus no longer recognizes aggressive malware coding, as a threat.  Once it defeats your anti-virus, Malware now has full control of your PC and full access to all personal data. Malware will become more dangerous with each passing day. Has your personal information been stolen?

Question...

Does it concern you that your computer is sharing personal private information, and data, on the Internet? That very computer you're happy with, "because it works just fine", is the ultimate target for hackers looking for easy access to your files. Vulnerabilities in old software make your computer more open to attackers. Cybercriminals frequently scan PCs with different types of malware, to locate vulnerabilities they can use to gain entry to your computer. Perhaps your family member or a friend has told you, "You're completely safe online", as long as your anti-virus is up to date. If you're listening to them perhaps you're not concerned! The question remains, does it concern you that your computer is sharing your private information with the bad guys?

You should be...terrified. You are not safe. It's already happened, and I'll prove it.

First, the bad guys gain access usually through your browser using a tool called malware. Malware is an ever-evolving malicious code which is why having antivirus alone is useless. This malicious code I mention is becoming more and more dangerous each day. So is malware already present on your computer?

Here's how you can find out: 

Common signs malware is present:

Your PC is very slow and at times unresponsive

Your PC is freezing or locking up

Your PC is experiencing pop-ups

Your PC has gone to BSOD (Blue Screen of Death)

Your PC reboots intermittently without warning

Your Internet surfing activities are blocked or redirected to sites you did not click on

You can't connect to the Internet even though your network icon shows that you are connected

Your PC informs you that your anti-virus software is turned off (and you're unable to turn it back on)

Your PC informs you that your firewall is turned off or inactive

One or more program icons on your PC do nothing when you click on them.

If you're experiencing any of the above problems, malware has gained control of your computer! Your personal information, passwords, pictures, and data have been compromised!

We can help! I strongly urge you to protect your system now. Ignoring your computer's security is no longer feasible primarily since you can protect your PC for a $1/Day!
