The Internet is a valuable resource of information, but it isn’t always a safe one. Tech 2U has performed virus and malware removal in Fair Oaks for years. Now we have a shop for local home and business computer users to bring their infected machines.

The unfortunate fact is that the moment you connect a device to the web, you are opening it up to countless threats. Following the wrong links can compromise your computer with a malware infection. Some malware is more of an annoyance, including pop-ups for products or services you don’t want. However, those annoying pop-ups may be a sympton of a more sinister payload. You could have a keylogger on your system recording your passwords to bank and email accounts. A rootkit can be used to essentially take over your machine. Viruses can cause software corruption that slows down your OS.

Malware has been making headlines worldwide for years. Today, ransomware is in the news, malware that encrypts your data and demands that you pay to have it decrypted. Some ransomware developers even include false threats, such as claims to have found illicit material on your device, and the implication that the authorities will become involved.

Despite the efforts of popular operating system developers, vulnerabilities and flaws exist. These are the things malware developers aim to exploit. Even the most careful user can be caught off guard by malware as these malicious developers change and advance their methods. Companies have paid millions to ransomware developers to recover their data. For a smaller business, malware could be devastating.
