Anything from bad motherboards, to dead hard drives, virus infections, to internet problems will give enough issues to warrant a newer computer.

Scareware or Malware is virus software designed to trick you into buying their virus removal software or pranks users with intent to cause anxiety or panic. While the intended effect is to have you click the remove button and charge your credit card to buy new software to remove the infections. You can try to close all your internet browsers with task manager, reboot, or pull the plug, but do not click anywhere on the scanner screen or the remove button, or give out your credit card information to some virus removal program.

If you have a scareware infection or another virus issue, contact us to service your computer, or advise you on your options. Time to upgrade to a new computer? Let us move your files and programs to set it up correctly and increase protection from problems.
