Immediate Action
Required
If your computer or Internet connection has slowed (such
as, the time it takes to get to your favorite websites or
open your email program and the emails inside it has
increased noticeably) then you have a problem!
What causes this slowdown?
It's possible that your slowed computer or Internet
connection is caused by any or all of the following:
- Viruses -- programs written to do harm to
your computer that spread via email or any other way
computers can share data (i.e., floppy, USB drives,
CD/DVD, etc.)
- Spyware/Spybots -- programs written to track
where you go, what you see and/or buy in order to sell
that data to marketing companies or advertising clients.
- Worms -- viruses written with the intention
of computer disruption and the capability of spreading
themselves from computer to computer
- Trojans -- programs written to enable a
remote user to control your computer for any purpose,
such as email spamming or attacking other computers via
your computer.
- Adware -- programs written to continuously
blast you with pop-up advertising and/or re-route your
webpage requests with pages that are other than those
you requested. (a.k.a. Browser Hijacking)
In the spyware/malware/adware group alone, we have seen
over 4000 separate items on a single computer(!). All
of which we were able to safely remove and restoring the
computer to its former speed and security. Each one of
these items is a seperate running program, each slowing down
your PC a little bit at a time. This particular
computer was taking almost an hour to boot, but the dangers
are there well before a PC gets to these stages. Any
unusual slow down, needs to be addressed immediately.
