Most damaging Windows Worm (2 million infections / day)

A new strain of computer virus is spreading across the Interet, called either Conficker or Downadup worm. It is infecting PC’s at a rate of close to 2 million machines a day.  Menlo Technical takes these infections very seriously and will do everything possible to prevent loss of productivity and security of client data.

As part of this effort, consider going to the Microsoft website and downloading a FREE update to its monthly protection utility called the Microsoft® Windows® Malicious Software Removal Tool . If you have called in Menlo Technical to recently perform a seasonal update and refresh to your computers, you will not have to worry about installing and running this update.

Menlo Technical makes it a common practice to update your Windows operating system regularly, as well as install an effective antivirus tool; eset.com’s Nod32 Ativirus product.  If your machine is not being updated regularly by Microsoft, then please click on this link and download the removal utility to your computer,  restart it, and run this file to scan your entire machine.

If you plan on watching videos and tutorials, consider using the Microsoft.com website.  Be sure to ALLOW the computer to install Microsoft’s Silverlight runtime software, which will enable you to view Microsoft videos and tutorials.
