How protect yourself from Facebook or scams

If you are someone that tends to fall for fake virus software and online scams you should listen up! Winnipeg Experts can setup your home/business computers to block malware and crap sites before you can even open them! While the title of this article targets the Facebook crowd, this service can help block the bad guys from yourself, from any website.

The only cost involve is the initial setup. After that Winnipeg Experts partner will preview the domain name before giving your computer directions to the website. While this service isn’t 100% accurate, it sure is close.

Another plus for the service is that it is PC, Linux, Mac, iPad and iPod touch compatible. All of these devices automatically get all the info as long as you have a router. Most people have one of these devices in their home now.

Here’s an example of some link baits that were shown on Facebook:

How temping is it to Click on this link?

Using the service setup by Winnipeg’s best IT Consultants you would see something like this:

You might think this is neat but ask why is this worth the setup fee? I would answer:

  1. If you mainly use the laptop at the place of setup (ie home/work) then definitely yes!
  2. If your antivirus is not up to date, or doesn’t know about this software you are still have a high probability of getting something. Fortunately the antivirus companies know where these virus makers send out their malware from. Because the Virus writers are constantly changing things like size, date, behavior and hash tag. It makes it very hard for rouge software to be detected.
  3. I would also say this is the next generation of protection service. Unlike Norton or AVG where they provide link scanners for you, our service has a only a very minimal performance hit. With Norton and AVG link scanners your browser feels like it grinds to a halt. The reason for this is your computer has to manually check all the links on the page BEFORE the page is loaded. Because our service is does the time consuming process of scanning links in advance, your computer has all the speed without any of the slowdown. What’s so great about this service is that no matter what a user does, they won’t be able to “accidently” go to that page.
  4. This is GREAT for families with small children who always seem to click on things they shouldn’t.

Let me know if you would like this service setup for you. The process honestly takes a very short time and I can normally even do it remotely depending on the devices in your house or business!
