Virus

A Christmas Message from Tim

This is the time of year when all of us reflect upon our blessings. I founded Computer Homecare on March 1, 2005, which means we will celebrate our five year anniversary in a few months. The five year mark is a milestone that many experts consider to be an indicator of a business' viability and survival. So I am feeling especially fortunate during this Christmas season.

Conficker Virus Update

This month began with one of the biggest virus hypes we've seen in years. Since there haven't been any major news stories about catastrophic damage related to Conficker, many are wondering whether the virus is nothing more than a giant April Fools' prank.

Well, rest assured, Conficker is no hoax. It's out there. Unlike other viruses that have immediate and dramatic effects on computers, this one is a bit more subtle and, potentially, more dangerous than previous virus epidemics.

Critical Security Alert

We don't mean to bombard your inbox with e-mail this month. However, we thought it appropriate to pass along this important alert. Computer security experts are notifying the general public of an outbreak of a potentially serious virus, known as Conficker C. Apparently the virus is scheduled to spawn on April 1, April Fools' Day. If the buzz is accurate, the virus is no joke.
