The two largest threats to the safety
and productivity of your network are spyware and viruses. It
is important to keep your computer data secure and safe.
WechTECH will ensure your network is provided with the
proper tools to ensure the integrity of your data.
What is Spyware?
Spyware is software that gets loaded on your PC,
unbeknownst to you. Spyware can track your
movements
on the web, collect information about you, and even
change your browser settings. Removing Spyware is not
always so easy. It's not enough to remove these programs
from your PC, using the Windows Add/Remove utility. Lots
of fun registry changes can also be required to rid your
PC of these pests.
What is a Virus?
A computer virus is a
self-replicating program containing code that explicitly
copies itself and
that can "infect" other programs by modifying them or
their environment such that a call to an infected
program implies a call to a (possibly evolved) copy of
the virus. Computer viruses are never "naturally
occurring"; they are always man-made. Once created and
released, however, their spread is not directly under
human control.
