How do I know if I have a virus ?

There are a few signs that you may have a virus. 

1.  Your computer will run very slowwwww.
2.  Your anti-virus icon is missing next to the clock.
3.  There will be "unwanted" pictures appearing on your computer.
4.  Programs don't run the same or won't open.
5.  Computer or programs crashing.

Don't let a virus remain on your computer too long,
because it could cause you to lose files.

Screensaver or Wallpaper ?

This is probably one of the most confused items in Windows.

What is your screensaver and what is your wallpaper.

Your wallpaper is the picture you see on your main screen (desktop).

A screensaver is something that automatically runs after so many minutes
to prevent damage to your monitor screen (screensaver).

When is a good time to schedule a service call ?

You want to schedule a service call at the first sign of a problem  Don't wait until it gets really bad before you call.  If you wait too long, your computer might have to be reformatted and you could lose all of your information.  :-(
