Viruses

By far, the majority of our service calls are because a customer has downloaded a virus. A virus will show itself in your computer in one (or more) of several different ways:

You'll get lots of pop-ups.
Your computer performance suddenly becomes very slow.
Your computer won't turn on.
Your computer crashes without warning

In the background, a virus can do several things to your computer. You may not even be aware of these activities:

It can surreptitiously dial out to another computer or server and pass on your private information
It can be remote control your computer to participate in a distributed denial of service attack.
It can disable your anti-virus software.
It can point your browser to a porn web site.
It can erase your hard drive.

If you suspect that you have a virus, run a total system scan using your Anti-Virus software. The software should find, isolate, and remove any viruses that it finds.

If the Total System Scan does not fix your machine, turn the machine off and call a professional (like Geek For Hire, Inc.) for help.

Geek For Hire, Inc. has done a lot of research into all of the anti-virus programs that are available and we recommend NOD32. While no Anti-Virus can guarantee that it will find and remove all viruses or mal-ware, NOD32 catches the majority of them.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus Software, Version 4.0, Home and Home Office, 1 Year, 1 User License

Built on the award-winning ThreatSense® engine, ESET NOD32 Antivirus proactively detects and destroys more viruses, trojans, worms, adware, phishing scams, rootkits and other Internet threats than any other antivirus software.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus provides

Proactive protection: The ThreatSense scanning core combines multiple layers of detection from both rapid virus signature updates and predictive heuristic technology to stop malware before it compromises hard disks and data.
Precise detection: ESET reliably identifies known and unknown threats. It consistently garners top awards from testing labs and is recognized for having an astoundingly low false-positive rate.
Lightweight design: ESET NOD32 uses less memory and CPU power than competitors, allowing PCs to run like it’s not even there, freeing up processor power for communicating, creating, browsing and gaming.
Fast scanning: Efficient file and system scans mean computers open documents quickly – even compressed archives – and boot up in a hurry.

Proactive, precise, lightweight and fast. You won’t find a better antivirus program.

When you click on this link, you will have the option to purchase either the Antivirus by itself or NOD's Smart Security. In our experience, the Antivirus is sufficient for the needs of most people and businesses.

Remember that if you install a new Anti-Virus, you must completely remove the existing one.
