What is Spyware and Malware and how do I stop them?

Spyware and Malware  are unwanted programs that infect your computer to promote unwanted advertising, prevent your PC from functioning correctly (if at all), mine your PC for private data or other such specious activity.  We suggest purchasing a well-known anti-virus suite (such as Norton Systemworks or Norton Internet Security) as well as a good spyware removal tool such as Ad-Aware from Lavasoft, and/or Microsoft Defender (both have free downloadable versions).  Many spyware removal tools out there are actually spyware installers in disguise, so be careful with what you install!

Is it worth it to upgrade or fix my older home PC?

We answer this based upon the operating system your machine is running and the machine's age.  In general, it is cost-effective to repair or upgrade a machine that is running Windows 2000, XP, or Vista, and is less than four years old (having a Pentium 3 class or higher processor).  If your machine is significantly older, it may be more cost-effective for us to assist you with data-transfer and installation to a new PC.  If in doubt, give us a call.
