Increased number of virus attacks on computers
Support to remove and prevent computer viruses
Sigma Computers of Totton, Southampton and Warwick have experienced an increased number of calls from computer users who have had their computers infected by Trojan viruses. In some cases where the users have tried to solve the problem themselves they have ended up with expensive system reconstructions. These can be avoided but users need to follow certain guidelines.
First, provide internet security; install reputable anti virus and firewall software, such as AVG, Norton, McAfee or similar.
Second, do not open emails if you do not know where they have come from. Some of the Trojans currently experienced come from emails from what appear to be well known companies, in particular parcel carriers and news organizations.
Third, if you suspect your computer is infected, close it down and call either your IT dept or support company. If you dont have either, then call Sigma Computers on 02380 663636 and ask for technical support. You wont get long queues or automated answering systems, but you will get someone who can start the process of recovering your system and removing the offending virus/trojan.
Normal anti virus software will detect the Trojans and remove them, but because of their self replicating qualities as fast as the software removes them they can reappear. They also have their own camouflage and so are not easily identified, this means that you will need to either get your PC to Sigma Computers or another reputable systems house or get a software engineer out to you.
The most cost effective option is for you to take your PC to the engineers. Sigma Computers are finding that on average it is taking an hour to disinfect a PC. Our hourly rate is £85 excluding VAT.
