Dear Sweetwater Cable TV High Speed Access Customer, We want to inform those of you who do not have any Anti-Virus programs, or those that are outdated, of a good FREE Anti-Virus program. This program is called AVG, and is found at www.grisoft.com. We recommend that you do a Google search for this program, (avg+antivirus) so you can see what others think of this program. Grisoft does have for sale products, but their free copy works quite well, and is signficantly better than no protection at all. Sincerely, Sweetwater Cable TV |

Dear Sweetwater Cable TV High Speed Access Customer, There are currently a number of extremely nasty Trojan "viruses" going around on the Internet, affecting primarily Windows Operating systems. What these programs are doing, is that they destroying your computers ability to "surf" the Internet, yet continue to send out large quantities of information onto the Internet, causing all kinds of problems. Unfortunately, in most cases this corruption can only be repaired by a full re-formatting of the infected computer. There have been numerous confirmations of computers affected both in Rock Springs and Green River, with no doubt, many more to follow. At this point, the only advise that we can give you is to: 1)Maintain your Anti-virus definitions. THIS IS CRITICAL. If you don't have an Anti-virus program. GO GET ONE, TODAY. 2)Maintain your Critical Windows Updates. This includes installing Service Pack 2 for XP systems. 3)Install either "Ad Aware SE" or "Spybot Search and Destroy" or both, (both are free and can be downloaded from download.com) Run either (or both) immediately, and let them quarantine the programs they find. Run them weekly. 4)And just for verification, run an Online Virus Scanner from either Panda, or from Trend Micro. You can click on the link, or if you prefer, simply type the following addresses into your Browsers Address bar. housecall.trendmicro.com http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm We cannot describe in enough detail, how imperitive it is that you protect yourself and your computer. Remember, our responsibility ends at the modem, so if you get infected, it is your responsibility to get your machines repaired. Sincerely, Sweetwater Cable TV |
