Sometimes we need to send large e-mails.  (e-mails with large attachments). There are many ways to do it, actually. You can put the attachment to your website using FTP and give the link to receipt to download it.

Spyware & Viruses

Posted in: Software,Virus / Anti-virus | April 25th, 2010

You always ask yourself: “What is the difference between spyware & virus?”

Spyware will pop-up with a message, on the lower right, providing warnings of your infection.  There are many anti-spyware softwares out there, however, they are not typically updated to resolve the rapidly new instances of spyware that are released daily.  Moreover, users forget to protect their PCs from spyware, because they think that their anti-virus software will protect against everything.

Spyware has multiple effects such as:

  • spamming
  • slowing down the PC
  • providing fake spyware software for fee

Viruses are easier to catch and kill.  Your anti-virus software should be running 24/7, while you are working on your PC.Your anti-virus software HAS TO BE up to date, otherwise it will quarantine the virus instead of killing it. In the worse case, your anti-virus software will not pick up the rogue virus and your system could:

  • get slow
  • turn off unexpectedly
  • e-mail the virus to other network computers and contacts
  • incapacitate programs and functionality
  • crash the computer

You should contact Computer Specialist if you think that you are not capable of removing viruses from your PC.
