 NEW VIPRE DOWNLOAD LINK FOR LATEST ANTI VIRUS SOFTWARE
NEW VIPRE DOWNLOAD LINK FOR LATEST ANTI VIRUS + firewall SOFTWARE
You can be surfing along and suddenly a window pops up in your browser telling you that you have all kinds of infections and to click here and they will make it all go away. Actually, they will make it worse. This is Rogue Security Software in action. There are two things you can do - first press ALT and F4 on your keyboard (at the same time) and do not click on the window. If this does not work, you want to do a hard shutdown of your computer. Go to the on/off button and press the button, holding it until your computer shuts down. Do not go near the pop-up with your mouse as this can activate the Rogue. Better safe than sorry.
I would then recommend starting your computer in safe mode (by hitting F8 when it is starting up), then doing a "disk cleanup", followed by a deep scan with your anti virus software.

Computer Tips on Keeping your pc and laptop running fast and virus Free!
1. As a general rule do not trust any link. There are a lot of scams going on that look very real. These may seem to be from/related to Facebook, a bank, or a shipping company like Fedex, UPS, or DHL. WHen you click on a link they take you to a different location and your computer end up with an infection. Instead of clicking on the link it is safer to go directly to the correct website and enter your search, tracking number etc
2. Do not trust attachments, especially .zip files. If you click on the attachment it will unzip the program and infect your computer with a virus. We see a lot of emails doing the rounds that are pretending to be from UPS, FEDEX or DHL that states that they have been unable to deliver a package and that you need to click on the attachment. Again, the best thing to do is go directly to UPS etc and enter your tracking number. DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT.
The email might also claim to be from a leading store and states that you have made a purchase. If you want to cancel the transaction then they want you to open the attachment. This is a scam and should be deleted. If you are unsure you should check directly with your bank.
3. FAKE ANTI VIRUSES are on the increase. These come in the form of spyware or pop-ups initially and make you beleive that your computer is infected. If you click on the OK, Scan or even the "x" or close button, your computer will be infected with a virus. It has many different names, "ANTI VIRUS PRO 2009", "ANTI VIRUS PRO 2010" and similar variations. Once they infect your computer it will try and scam you into giving them your credit card details to "fix" all of the "errors" that it has found.
To try and avoid these problems, when you first get the pop up try pressing ALT and F4 or "CONTROL and W" to close the window, or shut the pc down. Reboot the computer in safe mode by hitting F8 during the start up process and select Safe Mode. You should then clean your temporary internet files and run your anti virus / spyware program.
4. Clean your temporary internet files regularly. You do this by clicking on Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Cleanup and check all the boxes.
5. Keep your anti virus and anti spyware up-to-date and check on it periodically. We recommend using VIPRE which has both anti virus and anti spyware components to it and doesnt slow your pc down like a lot of other programs tend to do. For more details check out
6. Stay away from "busy" site that have a lot of advertising on them. Avoid downloading Free Music, Free Video, Free Screen Savers and site containing Adult Material.
Good, Safe internet usage is one of the best ways of staying Virus and Spyware Free
