Beware of fake Flash and Video Player update scams

1/30/2016

0 Comments

 

Welcome to PC Tech for Hire, Montgomery Alabama's premier residential and small business computer repair and service provider.

Picture
There is an increasing number of threats from infected web sites that show a pop up asking you to install a fake ‘Flash player’, ‘Video player’, or ‘Java update’ containing a Trojan downloader with actual malware viruses. My advice: “never click on a download offer, unless you went looking for it.”  That includes sites that you may trust, like Facebook.  If you get a pop up asking you to update, close the window and go to the actual website to download the (allegedly) out of date software.

I think my computer might be infected
If your computer is infected, turn it off and seek professional service. Don’t try to fix it your self because many viruses try to hide and also multiply. Virus removal is not an easy task. Also don’t put it off and keep using it, a compromised computer puts you and others online at risk.  My virus removal service is available, as well as my ProActive Care service that allows for ongoing monitoring and protection.

February Special
Starting today and lasting throughout February, sign up for ProActive Care - Antivirus service and get any viruses removed for free.
