Does your computer have a virus?

September 18, 2018

No, your computer doesn’t have a virus.  At least not the one that flashing popup is making you worry about.

Real tech support companies generally don’t use the “Free Security Scan” advertisement.  Instead, that’s probably a scammer trying to get access to your computer or financial information.  Don’t click on those ads, and don’t call the numbers they display.

If you have brand name anti-virus software on your computer, call that company.  Or take it into a local shop, which will probably have a business license and people that can answer your specific questions.

Unusually for this blog, this is unfortunately not a problem that we, as accountants, can assist you with.
