Laptop Viruses Help page
You would think that as an engineer , replacing a motherboard would be harder than fixing a Laptop with virus . How wrong you could be.
Viruses are our biggest headaches. There are hundreds of thousands of them !!
Picture the scene here I am waiting for a callout to fix a Laptop .The phone rings and some one calls saying i have the Natas32.worm, can you fix it? .hmmmmm Can I fix it ? What is it? What does it do? I've never heard of it. Hold on I am a pc engineer surely I can fix anything on a Laptop. Well in this case you have to be like a doctor and prescribe anti- biotics. Yes i can remove the virus but usually this means reinstalling the entire operating system .I personally have found many of the large brands of antivirus software to be a complete waste of money .You buy the software from the shop install it , It does a scan and doesn't detect any virus but you know you have one because a message comes up saying you have one. So you go on the net to do an update , the virus is still there. What a nightmare !! So you ring the company helpline and get told you have to pay another load of cash for their helpline. In their defence you will never be totally up to date with viruses as many come out every day. At our workshop we can remove every virus ever written guaranteed. We recommend installing Microsoft windows service pack 2 because of the windows firewall. Its very very good and blocks better than any antivirus software have seen. We have found avast a very good anti virus software. You can also download it for free here. Sometimes the only way to guarantee removing the virus is to back up your files and reload windows loading your files back on afterwards. Our company can do this for you for the set price of £70.00

What is a virus ?
A virus is a piece of software or a program that has been written in software code for causing problems on other software. Software is something you cannot touch. Hardware is something you can , ie screen mouse laptop hard disk and so on. Software is microsoft office microsoft windows and other programs that you cannot physically touch.
A virus is usually a piece of software that harms Microsoft windows and gives it instructions to slow down or keep repeating the same instructions so that the machine has problems booting or even carrying out simple tasks.
Why would someone write a virus?
A lot of viruses are just variations of other viruses. A code writer may find a virus change it slightly then tell his fiends look what I have made. He then names it after himself and then sends it out to the net to someone who has upset him. Also he may have unscrupulous customers asking him to write a virus so they can get back at someone.
