Handling Viruses with PC Support Provider
Way back into earlier years of computer, when mostly used was DOS command to operating system, viruses on these days has some ways not to be detected. Specifically the “Stealth” virus, which it is capable of hiding itself from the computer users, and most likely to the anti-virus. Through intercepting to the system calls which are responsible for the file reading. They can successfully give you fake information which is becoming legitimate codes for the computer system. Anti-viruses were useless then.
Evolution of the computers comes. With the presence of viruses, Technical Computer Supports dont stop discovering solutions to this problem. They come up with the discovery of Windows. They replaced the use of DOS command to Windows. Bur of course with the computer evolution of computers comes with the evolution of the virus too. Some viruses still have the capability of hiding themselves even with the presence of Windows. They can efficiently hide themselves and can work with the Windows this virus are called “rootkits”
Technical Computer Support used some tricky actions to overcome the rootkits and to save computers from menace. Rootkit mainly attacked the system, install it there and hide itself. The work of anti-virus then was to detect the virus, but before they can detect the virus, they are already moving actively to the software, and after they knew it, the rootkits already intercepted with the programs used to detect them. Using anti-virus then doesnt guarantee a complete protection of computers, especially if rootkits virus was the one intercepted with you software.
Rootkit Revealer was invented. But cannot totally eradicate the rootkit, can only detect that something is hiding within your system. This program was designed to destroy the rootkit, but fails to do so. This was called Microsoft Rootkit Revealer. It does gives a little help, further management with the Technical Computer Support is necessary. UnHackme or other anti viruses with rootkit detection was advice by the Technical Support Group to be installing in computer because it does help. UnHackMe are designed compatible with other anti-virus and also designed not to fight with the rootkits so it can work nicely with another anti-virus. Sort of back-up to each other so system can be of less exposure to viruses. UnHackMe should be installed before anything else, serves as a guard to the system and it watches the system process, taking all controls to the system before others. It can maliciously fools the virus, can detect and destroy rootkits attempts. Thats what Technical Computer Support was suggesting during those days.
By blocking the rootkits before it gets loaded to the memory and passing the control to the anti-virus, the attempts of the viruses becomes easier to detect and remove any further intrusion. UnHackMe are capable of removing rootkits who tries to intrude the software. A nice work-up with Technical Support and installation of UnHackMe and other anti-virus was the remedy before in order to prevent viruses from further intrusion, for experts cant find a way to directly fight the rootkits before.
The advantages to a managed IT services in South Florida
The days when the computer was a big box sitting in an air conditioned room serviced by a strange bunch of people who spoke a language no one really understood have been past for some time now. With the advent of miniaturization and Laptops and PCs that great big box no longer does the thinking and in fact in many instances that box has all but disappeared.
Instead in most enterprises we have a myriad of little desktop and laptop computers which are joined together with some form of network. As part of that network is a great big, often air conditioned cupboard which contain servers. On these servers is all the data and databases of the enterprise. If the Enterprise is big or decentralized there may be a whole bunch of servers in different locations which may or may not be connected to each other via an internet connection.
But anyone will tell you that in the world of networks all is not happiness and light. These servers need to be managed and all the various devices that connect to them still need at least one of these guys who talks “computerese” and this computer tech support may be kept busy with individual machines.
A further problem is the software. Each device on the network must have licensed software to run. Let us presume this is a windows environment. It is necessary to install windows on each device on the network, and when Windows upgrades as it seems to do frequently in is necessary to pay for the license to upgrade with it.
Each company’s it support services will spend an inordinate amount of time tracking which computer has what software an when a license renewal or upgrade is required. This is not only time consuming but also costly. Next we come to the proprietary software. Most users will want MS Office which includes a word processor, a spreadsheet and a presentation program plus one or two other things. But these will be underutilized by most. The presentation software for example may sit unused for weeks at a time and when it is used it is only viewing a presentation put together by someone else. But the license must be paid.
Someone once asked Lord Colman how he became so rich and he said it was because of the mustard left on plate uneaten. So it is with some of the big software houses. People are forced to buy licenses for software they don’t use very much at all.
And now we come to managed IT services. Instead of having one’s own server and lots of smart PCs around containing expensive and unused software if one elects to start using Managed IT Services one only pays for what one actually uses.
In every way it is a win win situation. One has a remote cloud which is managed by professionals who ensure that your network has maximum up time. The it support services you receive are second to none with guys always on standby and more importantly you only pay for the use of the software that you actually use.
