Hello to all of Kramden’s geeks (this encompasses everyone),

 

My name is Joshua Schumann, and I am the Computer repair technician at Kramden Institute, Inc., I handle Computer problems from recipients over the phone, repair computers that come back, and also help in the testing and refurbishment process.

 

I would like to now take the opportunity to dive into an issue that has come to be very important to the sanity of every person whom has a computer; MALWARE or rather maintaining the lack of malware on one’s computer.

 

So, what is malware??  The definition of malware includes viruses, adware, spyware, trojans and any other annoying/bad programs that should not be on one’s computer.  Ok, so, now that you know a little about what malware is, here comes how to rid your system of the malicious software.

 

These are programs that you can download, are FREE, with no strings attached

Though donations I am sure are always deeply appreciated

Just follow the links to download the Anti-malware programs

Also, I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be doing an experiment in about a week or two to see what it is like for me; a guy that is dependent on a personal computer and the Internet for work/school.

I will see what it is like to go without a personal computer, and personal internet for 24 hours.

 

I'm doing this in the hopes that it will show everyone just how much a personal computer, and personal Internet are needed in today's ever changing world.
