In Need of a Virus Removal Specialist?
Have you ever been caught out by a Virus or Trojan attack?
Do you have Spyware, Malware, or a Trojan on your computer or laptop now and not know it???
Is your computer up to date are you open to a Ransomware attack???,

The most common thing about Virus removal that the engineers here at Computer Repair Essex get asked by our customers is how did I manage to get a Virus or a Trojan on my computer or laptop when I have an antivirus program installed!

The answer to this question is that unfortunately, no antivirus program can stop all Virus or Trojan attacks, especially if your antivirus, windows, or software are not kept up to date.

Many years ago, it was the geek kids who when they were bored would put a virus on the net for a prank just to see if they could get people to take the bait and infect their computers.
Nowadays Viruses, Trojans, Spyware, and Ransomware have become big businesses with organized crime, this being the biggest threat of all. The new breed of hackers trying to get your details from your computer or laptop are now much more sophisticated than ever before.

As we are now becoming a nation that buys more and more goods on the internet be very wary of any emails that concern parcel deliveries that you have not ordered as this is a way that fraudsters can compromise your email account and then gain access to your computer giving them access to your files or by putting a key logger onto your machine.

More than £50 million lost to remote access tool scams last year!

Be very vigilant at present from phone callers telling you that they are from your bank or building society. These scam calls are costing the unsuspecting public tens of millions of pounds. These scammers will phone and tell you that your account has been compromised and tell you that they wish to move your cash to another secure account. Then they will ask you to download a program onto your computer that gives them full access to your bank accounts. If you get this type of phone call.

DO NOT LET ANYONE, TAKE OVER YOUR COMPUTER.

If anyone calls you trying to get you to let them on your machine please report this to:

Virus Removal and Trojan threats.

The increase of Viruses, Ransomware and Trojan threats over the last few years alone has almost doubled, they are now getting very clever trying to trick the unaware person to click on a link for a freebie or such like a goodie that sounds too good to miss out on, but once you opened the link  9 times out of 10 times it’s too late you have let in the undesirable Virus or Malware.

Some show themselves straight away claiming to be legitimate programs informing you that you have a Virus or Malware and various bugs and faults on your computer and asking you for money to buy their spoof virus removal program to get rid of the said program this also is a scam as by paying them for the removal of the program they will just take your money and will of course not do a thing to remove the virus.

While others steadily corrupt your O/S system or programs and slowly but surely render your machine useless until the virus or Trojan is removed, others will hide on your computer or laptop and keep and send you personal and confidential information to the crooks so that they can use your information to gain credit or buy things on the internet or worst still clone your identity.

Sending you fake emails from your bank, building society, tax office, papal, eBay, or credit card company trying to get you to fill out forms that are really from the hackers and not from the real company. If your virus protection is up to date and your email account is set up properly then you should be fairly safe from this kind of threat, this type of threat is called phishing. According to a survey carried out by a leading antivirus company well over 80% of emails sent are classed as spam!
