No matter how sophisticated computers get, it seems that malware and viruses are always a present and looming threat. And it’s not always obvious that you have one lurking on your hard drive, because many of them are designed to go into “stealth mode.”
70% of Americans worry that their personal data will be hacked, and for good reason. Data breaches only continue to increase. In just the first month of 2019, nearly 2 billion hacked records were released.
Danger can often come in the most common way, through a phishing email designed to look like it’s from a legitimate company, such as UPS, AT&T, or Amazon.
9 out of 10 cyberattacks are the result of a malicious email.
Connect2Geek founder, Glen Michaelson, has been fighting these malicious threats and keeping a step ahead of the hackers for over three decades. In the Mid-90’s his firm was hit by one of the first mainstream viruses and he had to figure a way to get rid of it. After that experience, he pledged to do his best to keep his clients in the Nampa and Boise area safe from such threats.
While some IT gurus might just be happy providing managed IT services and computer repairs, Connect2Geek is always looking for innovative ways to help people get the most out of their technology and stay protected from hackers while doing it.
That’s why we’ve just introduced two new websites to make securing and protecting your PC easy.
Free 10-Step Guide to Securing Your PC
Our first new website that is a “must see” is SecureMyPC.info. If you like easy, then this site is for you because you’ll be able to instantly get a free 10-step guide for keeping your computer safe.
Hate reading through tons of complicated computer-speak? Don’t worry, the guide has video walk throughs to take you through our best suggestions for keeping your data safe and your PC protected from hackers.
It includes the best industry secrets for what the top IT pros do to secure a PC and keep it free from malware and viruses. If you like free stuff and doing things yourself, then you’ll definitely want to download it to make sure your device is as secure as possible.
