Hello Portland Computer Repair Fans,
At Computer Lift – Portland Computer Repair, we see computers that are infected with viruses and spyware every day.
An example of a common infection is a “rogue” program that pretends you are infected. As soon as you agree and let it scan your computer, you are infected. From that point on, every time you boot, the fake anti-virus program pops up, and takes over your computer. Sometimes your computer will crash or freeze because of the rogue program.
Many customers don’t know they are infected with a virus or spyware. The only symptom is a slow machine.
Computer Lift can remove infections easily, so contact us today so we can help.
Here are some tips to avoid or clean most virus or spyware infections:
- Malwarebytes is one of the best programs available to remove spyware, malware, and trojans. It's free and available here.
- Microsoft Security Essentials is very good anti-virus protection and can be downloaded here. It’s free!
- Remember to never have two anti-virus programs running at the same time.
- Do not click on any pop-ups while online. If you do not see an easy way to close a pop-up, save your work and reboot your computer.
- Keep Windows, Java, Acrobat Reader, and Flash Player updated.
Both programs above are free. There is no reason to not be protected and clean. Malwarebytes and MSE together will prevent and clean most problems. You should scan your computer regularly with both. Never go online without real-time anti-virus protection.
I hope this information has been helpful. Contact Computer Lift if you need help with virus or spyware removal or protection.
Sincerely,
Geoff – Owner

This is a wonderful opinion. The things mentioned are unanimous and needs to be appreciated by everyone. I appreciate the concern which is been rose. The things need to be sorted out because it is about the ndividual but it can be with everyone. Computer Lift recently got another fake negative review on Google. It’s obviously from local competition. The first time this happened, about 18 months ago, it really upset me. It doesn’t bother me as much now, but I would like it to stop. I imagine that other repair shops would be better served by focusing on the best customer service possible and good repairs, not lying about another company that does it better. It must be uncomfortable for another shop to be forced to do that out of desperation.
