#10 "I just use my computer for email and web browsing."

#9  "I’ve never had any virus problems."

#8  "It kept popping up all the time."

#7  "It might crash my system."

#6  "My subscription kept expiring."

#5  "It slows down my system."

#4  "I thought it came with the computer."

#3  "It's too expensive."

#2  "Macs don't need security."

#1  "I don't know what to buy or how to install it".

Some notes on the above:

#10, #9, #8 #7, #6, #5, #4, #3, #1 - Use Microsoft Security Essentials for your Windows PC, from Microsoft, the maker of Windows.  It is free, decent anti-virus and anti-spyware, and doesn't get in your way.  No subscriptions or registration.  What's not to like? http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

#2 "Macs don't need security." - I agree that Macs don't need anti-virus or anti-spyware.  However, you can still be tricked by a phishing attack into revealing private/financial information.  So even Mac users need phishing protection - we can help you with that.

We specialize in "computer tuneups" that will bring your PC back to new computer performance, while getting up-to-date on all the many protections that every Windows PC needs.  When you buy that brand new Windows PC, it does NOT come with complete protection, and it is only a matter of time (usually not very much time!) before it is infected and slows down.  Or worse, hackers get your login or banking information and clean out your account.

Don't be sorry, take steps to protect yourself.  Contact us about a computer tuneup today and buy some peace of mind.
