There is a very dangerous virus that has been floating around for over a year now, going by the name Cryptowall or CryptoLocker. This virus can encrypt all of your documents and files and then tries to force you to pay a "ransom", usually of at least $300, to unlock it. Once the files are encrypted it is very difficult to recover them without paying the ransom, and even then you aren't guaranteed to get your files back!

Even though this is an older virus, there are new "strains" of it that have been recently found that are even worse than the original, and harder to remove or detect.

The best defense against this virus is:

1.) Have a backup in place - have a recovery plan.
2.) Have a good antivirus package installed, and updated.
3.) Backup, backup, backup!

We can never stress this enough. Having a backup of important files on your PC is very important for reasons such as this.

If you have questions regarding what to do in order to ensure that your PC is protected, give us a call at 618-283-9352, we would be happy to work with you to ensure that your system is updated and has the proper security software and backup system in place, to protect against this threat.

Thanks, and hope everyone is having a great Holiday season!

SPECIAL SALE: Excellent, customer trade in Dell Inspiron 15 3000 series laptop, non touchscreen, with the Intel Core I5 processor. Most Inspiron laptops ordered from Dell came with the lesser Pentium or Core I3 processor, so having the I5 upgrade is nice. This speedy laptop originally came with Windows 8.1 but we have upgraded it to Windows 10! Includes 4GB of RAM memory, 500GB Hard Drive, we**am, and is still under warranty! This was a late 2014/2015 model and originally cost $600 from Dell, as configured. We have it priced out at $300 + tax. Includes a 90 day warranty from us as well as the remainder of the Dell factory warranty.

Just checked Dell's website...this same laptop ordered from Dell right now (they still have it listed) is $549.00 + shipping!

Yesterday, Newwave service was interrupted throughout the Vandalia area for both phone and Internet, and today, our phone is still causing us fits! If you need to reach someone for service you can alternately call 217-690-9239. We have been trying to reach tech support all day but the phones have been tied up. We appreciate your patience! Things have been awfully quiet without the phone!
