Slow computer?

Is your computer running slow? Is your Internet slow?

It may be that you are infected with programs intended to allow others to use your computer in sending out spam.

“But, why?” “How?”

Windows computers are extremely easy to over-power and take over from a distance. This is a known fact. However, rather than fix the problem, Microsoft setup a computer similar to the average home user setup and then watched it closely.

Here is what they saw:
“”In those 20 days, this one computer received 5 million connection requests from spammers, and sent 18 million spam messages,” said Cranton.

That amount of data was impossible to analyze, so Microsoft focused on the three most-active spamming days, when 470,00 connection requests were made of the PC, and about 1.8 million messages were sent through it. ”

If you are complaining that you have a slow computer, or your Internet is slow, give my company, Los Angeles Computerhelp a call - we’ll clean it up and show you what we find on your computer.

Then we’ll do what Microsoft won’t do - we make Windows safer to use.
