W.I.K.'s
"Clean Sweep" will take care of all your virus and
adware problems.
Note:
Some cases may require your machine to be serviced at our
facilities
We'll
clean your computer of viruses, spyware, and adware so you
can be sure your computer is virus-free. After that it's up
to you to make sure new viruses don't get a hold on your system.
Here are some recommendations:
To
keep your computer clean and secure follow these recommendations:
1.)
Regularly Update your Norton Antivirus Virus Definitions.
By default we install Norton to run live update automatically
whenever you are online, but in our experience it helps to
make sure your definitions are updated by running live update
manually at least once a week. To do this:
1.
Make sure you are connected to the internet.
2. Open Norton Antivirus by clicking the icon in your start
up tray (located in the lower right hand corner of your screen.)
It looks like this :
3. On the Main Screen for Norton click the “Live Update”
Button located in the upper left corner.
4. Follow the on screen instructions to download and install
the new virus
definitions. (This may require a re-start)
5. When live update runs automatically it will pop-up the
live update window and
prompt you to click through the download process . This is
not an ad, and it is very
important to make sure your definitions are up to date. We
recommend you
always complete this process when it appears. Without
current virus definitions your computer is vulnerable to attack.
2.)
Be Sure To Scan Your Computer With Norton Antivirus On A Regular
Basis
By default we schedule Norton to scan automatically on a regular
basis, but if your computer is not on at the scheduled time
the scan can not take place. We recommend you do a manual
scan at least once a week. To do this:
1.
Open Norton Antivirus.
2. On the main screen for Norton click the “Full System
Scan” option.
3. You can try to continue working while Norton Scans, but
this has been known to cause occasional problems on certain
computers so we recommend you wait until the scan completes.
3.)
While Norton AntiVirus 2004 now detects spy ware and adware
(programs that are not viruses but can cause virus-like symptoms)
it doesn’t always find them all and removal can be an
involved process. We recommend you download and install a
spy ware/adware removal utility such as Ad-aware, or Spybot
search and destroy for these problems.
These
programs can be found on-line at a reputable web site such
as www.tucows.com,
or www.downloads.com.
These programs are freeware, meaning they are free to download
and use, but also come with no guaranties or quality control.
The two we have mentioned are trusted by WIK and widely used.
Please be sure to read their information carefully before
installing and using them. Like antivirus programs these tools
must be updated and used to be of any value.
CAUTION:
some free programs (including some versions of KaZaa) use
adware to support their being free and may not work if their
adware components are removed.
