Computer viruses currently cause billions of dollars’ worth of economic damage each year and unfortunately, no currently existing antivirus software is able to catch all computer viruses (especially new ones).
A computer virus is a self-replicating computer program which installs itself without the user's consent. It is usually a hidden program which typically performs some type of harmful activity, such as stealing hard disk space or CPU time, accessing private information, corrupting data, displaying political or humorous messages on the user's screen, spamming their contacts, or logging their keystrokes.
The Backup Bloke can install the latest anti virus software and configure your system security settings to provide maximum protection for the intended use of your computer. We can also expertly diagnose and attempt to repair virus infections.
