This section was created with intent to help answer some more common questions and give best practices with regards to virus and spyware infections and prevention of such disastrous problems.

First off and most important in keeping your computers safe and clean is a good anti-virus solution. We are a reseller of Avast anti-virus software and recommended it as your one stop for keeping viruses, trojans, worms and other virus like software off your systems. The home, non-professional version is free and can be downloaded directly from Avast following the link to the left. For purchases of the Professional, Server or other versions please contact us directly.

After a good anti-virus solution has been installed and your system is free of virus infections, it is always a good idea to check your PC against spyware. Our trusted tool of choice is the free Spybot - Search & Destroy obtainable here. Update the software, immunize your system and finally perform a scan of your computer for problems. Warning: spyware removers can damage your software configuration, use at your own risk.

If you are a professional in need of a great service tool to help boot and scan a non-working PC please take a look at Avast BART, Bootable Anti-virus and Recovery Tools. BART is a bootable CD and will allow for virus scanning and removal and registry tweaking as well as provide tools such as the hard-drive tool, device driver tool, services tool and more all without booting the system.
