Virus & Spyware

Spyware and Adware are tiny programs that are unknowingly installed on your computer by hackers, and unethical companies through legitimate looking software and music downloads, e-mail attachments, instant messages, web browsing, and other routine activities you might participate in online.

Most people assume that companies like Computer Medix thrive on cleaning up spyware and virus activity. And yes, it's true that many of the calls we receive, especially from new clients, are for cleaning up annoying popups, browser hijackers, and corrupted systems that have been infected by virus and spyware.

It is not our favorite work!

But the fact is that we would much rather spend our time working on higher uses of technology than cleaning out the digital mess in your computer. We would prefer to help with media center services and protecting your data and generally helping you get more out of life through your cool digital toys.

All computers corrupt eventually

The truth of the problem is that, sooner or later, all computer operating systems corrupt, with or without virus or spyware activity. New software competes with older software, and every time something additional is installed on your computer, whether it be a new printer, a new program, or even just a Windows Update, you have the potential to throw your computer into chaos.

Since it is inevitable that your computer will crash, what can you do about it?

Wouldn't it be great if anytime you had a virus on your machine or anytime it crashed, that you could restore it to perfection without having to call a company like us? Wouldn't it be great if you could wipe out the problem and be up and running in minutes?

Since it is inevitable that all computers will crash, or become corrupted, the best way to keep yourself virus and spyware free is to have a recovery program ready to go that can restore your computer in minutes rather than hours. We can set it up for you.

Imagine pushing a few clicks and blasting away all your virus activity without needing an onsite tech visit! Yes, it's possible!

We are not just a computer virus cleanup company, we are your digital helper and just as we work with small businesses to ensure that they stay up and running at all times we can provide you the same easy rapid recovery program for you in your home. Why should business customers only enjoy the fast and easy virus removal program that has them up in minutes when you can enjoy it too?

Let us clean out the virus activity but then let's make your spyware and virus free

Spyware Is A Growing Epidemic

In just a few short years spyware has surpassed computer viruses as the number one threat to your information and security online.

The reason for this explosive growth is the huge amounts of money that unethical companies are making from spyware. As amazing as it may seem, many of these companies receive millions of dollars a year in funding because the potential to make money off an unsuspecting public is so huge.

As a result, spyware now infects close to 90% of all internet connected computers with an average of 25 instances of Spyware and Adware per PC.

Spyware is such a huge problem that Dell Computers reports 20% of all their tech support calls involve Spyware and Adware related problems. Even worse, these problems take 2-3 times longer to solve than non spyware related support calls.

What this means to you is that without a lot of spare time, technical expertise, and proper tools, spyware can pose a real and serious problem to your PC and personal information.
