Time to upgrade your system
You’re using an outdated version of Internet Explorer, and most websites no longer support this version. In order to upgrade your browser, you’ll need to first upgrade your PC. Please note that support for Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP ended on April 8, 2014. To stay protected, please upgrade your PC today.

Microsoft provided support for Windows XP for the past 12 years. But the time came for us, along with our hardware and software partners, to invest our resources toward supporting more recent technologies so that we can continue to deliver great new experiences. As a result, technical assistance for Windows XP is no longer available, including automatic updates that help protect your PC.


What happens if I continue to use Windows XP and this version of Internet Explorer?
As of April 8, 2014, technical assistance for Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8 is no longer available, including automatic updates and security patches that help protect your PC. If you continue to use Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8 now that support has ended, your computer will still work but it might become more vulnerable to security risks and viruses.

Also, as more software and hardware manufacturers continue to optimize for more recent versions of Windows, you can expect to encounter more apps and devices that do not work with Windows XP.


How do I stay protected?
To stay protected now that support has ended, you have two options:

Upgrade your current PC
Very few older computers are able to run Windows 8.1, which is the latest version of Windows. We recommend that you download and run the Windows Upgrade Assistant to check if your PC meets the system requirements for Windows 8 and then upgrade if your PC is able. The Windows 8.1 system requirements are almost the same as the Windows 8 system requirements—so if your PC can run Windows 8, in most cases you can get the free update to Windows 8.1.

Download the Windows Upgrade Assistant to find out if your PC can run Windows 8

Get a new PC
If your current PC can't run Windows 8.1, it might be time to consider shopping for a new one. Be sure to explore our great selection of new PCs. They're more powerful, lightweight, and stylish than ever before—and at a fraction of the cost of the average PC 12 years ago.

Good Morning and I hope everyone is checking their Backups and making sure the antivirus and antimalware are up to date and scanning each day, Please continue reading!

Recently I received an email from a customer asking about an urgent email received: "Black in the White House" (aka "Black Muslim in the White House")

This is a HOAX and should not be forwarded to others. Spreading this email just alarms many users and causes spam in their email inbox.

Read more at http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/whitehouse.asp .99

Warning messages about a computer virus called 'Black Muslim in the White House' are false; they're just a variant of a long-running hoax.

Good Morning, The Apple computer market is now sufficiently large to attract attention from organized crime. Sorry Mac users, but the party is over. Apple Says you must install virus protection for Mac. Threats are real and your data deserves to be protected.

PBS Inc. works on PC's and Mac's so feel free to set up an appointment for you Mac..

Enjoy your Day....Dave Martin

Alert: Please be careful updating your computer. There is an infection being disguised as an normal software update. Currently i understand it might be a fake adobe update for flash player but be careful of all program updates. This infection is new and current virus and malware software companies are working to resolve the infection. For my current customers the best solution will be to restore from their disaster recovery backups.

The infection is called Trojan.powelik and Ad-Clicker but i understand this infection breads additional infections.

What is Trojan.Powelik Activity? Trojan.Powelik Activity is a harmful adware infection that can cause all kinds of computer damage on the infected computers. Once infected, your computer speed will become very slow as Trojan.Powelik Activity can gradually eat out your computer resource on the background. Sometimes your computer cannot even response to your operation if the computer resource is completely taken by Trojan.Powelik Activity.

Trojan.Powelik Activity may create annoying system pop-ups for ads or for misleading sites that can point you to download more destructive computer threat items. Trojan.Powelik Activity also tries to trace your browsing activities and exploit more system vulnerabilities on your computer. It is strongly recommended to delete Trojan.Powelik Activity immediately once it is detected.

Why my antivirus did not remove Trojan.Powelik Activity completely? Although all kinds of security applications have significantly improved the detection of new viruses and back door infections, the file names and file locations used byWin32/adware.loudMo.d virus continually changes as Trojan.Powelik Activity tries to avoid detection and adds difficulty to your antivirus software to remove it completely.

Personal Business Solutions is there for you - just call or email for help. I have attached a Fall Promotion to help in these trying economic times.

It is that time of the year to change our clocks ahead tonight!
Also I have an AOC V22 color computer Monitor available for free if anyone is interested. The right side of the screen is dimmer than the left, a definite noticeable difference but is still perfectly clear and usable. Let me know if you have any interest as I am trying to save it from the recycling center!

Did you know that you can permanently delete an item just by holding the shift key down when you hit the delete button? Instead of deleting something then emptying the trash, One step might save you time..!!
