1/12/05 - How do I get infected with Spyware? |
| |
Spyware
commonly enters your computer by:
-
Installing "free" software such as music
sharing/downloading software (example:
Kazaa),
free screen savers,
free programs that enhance your IM
sessions like "smilies,"
free
games, etc.
Not all free software
contains spyware. The key is to only install programs
from reputable vendors.
-
Installing rogue anti-spyware programs
that appear to remove spyware, but in
fact, actually do the opposite.
- By
opening email attachments that are
infected.
-
Clicking on pop-up ads while browsing
websites.
- Just by
browsing a website, you can receive
spyware, parasites, trojans, etc.

computer spyware free - call us today!

of new computers have quickly discovered.

neophytes unwrap new computers, connect
to the Internet, and, too often, get hit
with viruses, spyware and other
nefarious programs."

1/7/05 - New website released. |
| |
Direct
Computer Care has released a redesigned
website.
HISTORY
We formally registered
DirectComputerCare.com in December of 2001.
The original design was crafted by Greg
Snyder (thanks Greg!) and has been with us
since that first day.
Recently we
have been moving to a consistent "blue"
theme for all our materials, website,
advertisements, etc. The website was
redone in blue and at the same time we
thought it would also be a good time to do a
website face lift for a change of pace as
well.
The site
design took three days with the text added
in about three or four. We had the
original design idea sometime ago, so it was
just a matter of setting the time aside and
making it happen.
Let us
know what you think of the new design - we'd
love to hear from you! |
