A virus is a self-replicating program that gets installed unknowingly onto your computer, potentially causing a computer to lose data and stop performing efficiently, or even at all. Certain viruses are capable of moving across computer networks, infecting other computers, aiming to cause as much disruption to as many computers as possible. What is spyware? Spyware is capable of invading your privacy by collecting and sharing your personal information across the Internet. It can also interfere with connection speeds, install unwanted programs, and make it troublesome to access the Internet. What is adware? Adware is most commonly loaded onto your computer when you download or install freeware (free no cost programs). Adware aims to inundate the user with advertising and pop-ups. Adware doesn’t tend to affect computer performance or result in data loss, but can certainly become a tiresome nuisance. Repairs Experiencing problems with your computer?
