Viruses, Malware and Spyware are a major threat to all devices and operating systems connected to the internet. Gone are the days where only Windows users had to be concerned about viruses from email attachments. Now we see all systems types including Windows, Mac OS and Linux flavours, being infected with malicious code, ransomware and viruses. Techniques hackers use have increased in sophistication significantly over the last 10 years – now including websites, file sharing programs, social media, unlicensed software, USB drives and malicious emails. This continues to cause havoc to Business users and Home users alike on a daily basis.
Having your PC infected by a virus can cause serious issues including:
Having all your files, photos, documents, backups and emails encrypted by a remote hacker using ransomware – forcing a fee to be paid in a certain time period (eg. 48hrs), usually in cryptocurrency, to unlock your files or risking them becoming permanently unrecoverable.- Theft of personal data and files, which can lead to identity theft and fraud.
- Causing your PC to become extremely slow, unresponsive or crashing when in use.
- Agonisingly slow Internet browser response times.
- System memory errors.
- Fake antivirus installations running.
- Browser homepage hijacking and frequent pop-up ads.
- Loading of unknown, unsecure background apps with no regular way to uninstall.
- Gaining access to webcams / microphones on the device.
- Intellectual property theft / corporate espionage.
