Trojan Horse?$25 Referral Credit :: Limited time!Go Local - Some of our Favorite LOCAL Businesses:: Review :: Windows 8 Release Preview (End User Experience)by SchaOn BlodgettWindows 8 is the next release of the Windows platform due out October 26th, 2012. Will Windows 8 have the "every other version of Windows is HORRIBLE curse"? Maybe.We have been utilizing various copies of Windows 8 for about 5 or 6 months now on our evening TV/Movie Media Center computer, and on two of our Netbook computers. In some ways, we love it... in other ways, it's taken a LOT to get used to (and in many ways, we are still getting use to it - and still discovering how to do some things).Windows 8 is pretty much a complete revamp, at least when it comes to the look and feel. It boots incredibly fast. On our Netbooks (Netbooks are very low powered mini-laptops that are excellent for browsing, some documents... and well, that's about it), it is booted, and ready to use in about 38 seconds, and our MediaCenter Desktop computer with only 2 GB of RAM booted in 31 seconds! The Task Manager also seems to be revamped, with more detail, and more information, though most home users will not use these features. Another plus is that you can use a Windows Live Login that will save your settings to your online Microsoft Account, and if and when you log into another machine, it will setup that machine (and install most apps) like the other machines that you use. Personally, we have not tried this feature, though there seems to be some positive things with this, and the negative side is about some serious Privacy Concerns (though, it is something that Google Chrome has been doing for awhile).Read the Full Article Fall Computer CleanupComputer Tune-Up & CleaningWe are frequently asked how often to clean a computer? One pretty simple answer is approximately one week after you change your thermostat between Cool and Heat.

What is a Trojan?A Trojan is malicious software that presents itself as something beneficial in order to trick the user into clicking/installing it. Their effects can be wide ranging, from popups to system corruption. They are also normally the carrier for other malware, especially viruses, bots, back-doors, rootkits, etc.To repair this, we would use our standard Virus, Malware, and Spyware removal service.
