Virus Removal Plymouth

MAY 2012 by David

malware removal PlymouthVirus Removal
Bogus programs like IE Antivirus, also called IEAntivirus, is a fake anti-spyware program that is offered through the internet. IE Antivirus masks as a legitimate spyware removal tool but it is known very well to many as a waste of time and money. Many rogue anti-spyware programs try to get computer users to purchase a full version of the application which is the ultimate goal of programs like this.

IE Antivirus can be installed through a Trojan infection. Trojan infections are sometimes downloaded through fake video codecs or from malicious websites that are infected. This process takes place in a stealthy way where the computer operator has no idea that they have a bad program being installed on their computer. This can lead to further infections and installations of other rogue programs or spyware. Read More about virus removal spyware removal Plymouth

PCEU

Police Central e-crime Unit (PCEU) removal

Police Central e-crime Unit virus
A new computer virus is spreading that pretends to be a threatening message from Scotland Yard to extort money from unsuspecting internet users.
Aguru Computers Can Remove this Virus Police Central e-crime Virus
<>The virus freezes victims’ computers, then hits them with a warning accusing them of of accessing child pornography and sending emails with ‘terrorist motives’.
It says users their IP address is now under investigation by the Metropolitan Police’s e-crime unit (PCeU) and tells them they have to pay a fine to unlock their computer.
Scam: The virus pretends to be a message from the Met Police’s e-crime unit to persuade users to hand over their cash
The alarming message reads: ‘This IP address was used to visit websites containing child pornography, zoophilia and child abuse.
‘Your computer also contains video files with Pornographic content, elements of violence and child pornography.
‘Spam messages with terrorist motives were also sent from your computer.’
It adds: ‘To unlock the computer you are obliged to pay a fine of £100.’
The Met has issued a warning to computer users about the scam, which infects computers that have accessed certain websites.
These kinds of attacks are known as ‘drive-by downloads’ as users don’t have to click or download any files for their computer to be infected.
Once a machine accesses a corrupted web page, the software simply downloads itself. Up to date anti-virus software should, however, keep computers safe.
‘Ransomware’ scams, as they are known, are common and cyber-criminals have used them for years to scare people into paying for services they don’t need.
But this particular scam comes with added weight by telling people they’re under an official police investigation.
In a statement, the Met said: ‘This is a fraud and users are advised NOT to pay out any monies or hand out any bank details.
‘Genuine law enforcement agencies would never contact members of the public via this method and demand funds in this way.

NAS SERVERS

Never before has there been available a cost-conscience Network Attached Storage (File Servers )appliance packed with robust high-end server features, including Gigabit Ethernet, hardware RAID, system monitoring capabilities and built-in backup.

RAID

Supporting hardware accelerated RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) levels 0, 1, 5 and our own X-RAID™ technology, ensures full data redundancy with protection against hardware failure – something previously only available in high end servers. If one drive fails, the data volumes can still be rebuilt with the remaining drives. Without RAID, once a failure occurs, you risk losing all of the data stored on the drive.

X-RAID Technology

Patent Pending X-RAID technology automates the volume expansion for you as you scale from 1 HDD to 4 HDD. Most NAS devices on the market aren’t future-proof. You can’t add or replace disks for larger capacity. This allows you to start with one disk, then add the additional drives over time, without reconfiguring the system and shuffling the data. Additionally, as disk capacity becomes larger and cheaper, you can replace all four disks, one-by-one, while X-RAID automatically manages the RAID details for you.

Backup

A sound backup strategy is important and relying on manually copying your important files is tedious and error-prone. With the help of EMC® Retrospect® backup and recovery software, you can set automatic backups of all of your network clients – whether they are Windows, Mac or Linux

Remote Users VPN / Remote workers VPN

Aug 24 , 2008 by David - AKA -AGURU

VPN SETUP PLYMOUTHSSL VPN using secure socket layer to your local network.

AGURU Computer Repair Plymouth can set up the latest state of the art SECURE VPN, so your remote workers can access your local network as if they are in the office. Users would then use the HTTPS Protocol.

HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) is a secure version of the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (http). Secure means of transferring data using the https protocol in the World Wide Web where secure ecommerce transactions, such as online banking transactions and other transactions, are involved. In other words, https encrypts the session with a digital certificate i.e., HTTP over SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) which can be used by Web browsers and HTTPS - capable client programs. So, if the website begins with https:// instead of http://, it is a secure site. Almost 99% of the browsers can connect to web servers either using http or https. The address bar in the browser will begin with https instead of http, if a web site is secured. Web browsers like IE, Firefox etc., display a pad ”lock” icon to indicate the website is secure, which also displays https in the address bar. This padlock icon is displayed only when an SSL certificate is installed by their web server. If the padlock icon and the web link begin with HTTPS Protocol work with the combination of programs including the browser programs which takes care of the encryption/decryption routines that exist on the web hosting servers. Typically, HTTP data is sent over TCP/IP port 80, whereas SSL HTTP data is sent over port 443.

What to Do When You Spill Your Drink on Your Computer

Nov 12, 2010 by David - AKA -AGURU

VPN SETUP PLYMOUTHMany of us eat and drink at our computers knowing we shouldna??t and sometimes we have an accidental spill. In most cases, it can be fixed with a quick cleanup. Ia??ve repaired a lot of laptops with liquid spills. This is a fixable condition most of the time. Ita??s really important to start the liquid spill clean-up ASAP (before corrosion or internal damage happens)! Liquid spills can cause these types of laptop damage:

A short circuit from the liquid (problem can be resolved when the liquid dries)
a?¢ A short circuit due to dried liquid residue
a?¢ Corrosion (especially with acidic soft drinks like Coca Cola)

a?¢ Electronic components damaged by above mentioned short circuits.

After the liquid spill occurs, immediately turn off your laptop, flip the laptop upside down and leave it that way (to drain the liquid) for at least 20 to 30 minutes. After that time you need to remove any attached leads such as the power unit and battery and let the laptop dry overnight.

How to Remove Any Remaining Liquid: Remove the keyboard assembly (or have someone do it for you if you cana??t) and do some additional cleaning. It helps to use cotton swabs and distilled water to remove any remaining contamination. If you find any corrosive residue (due to your spilled Coke) gently wipe those areas with a cotton swab dampened with WD-40. Dry the area so only a light film of WD-40 remains. While you have the keyboard removed, use a bright light and magnifying lens to further check out the areas where you spilled the liquid.

In the past, it seemed a computer was destroyed after spilling a drink on it but now we know it can be repaired with a little quick action. You are better off though just not drinking anything while working on your computer that way you can avoid the mess and cleanup.
