Protecting Your Computer from Viruses

A program that attaches itself to a file on a computer and then spreads from one computer to another is called a Virus. A virus can damage your data or cause your computer to malfunction. They are activated on a certain date so some viruses go undetected.

How to protect your computer from viruses?

  1. Check files and programs that are on diskettes, attached to emails or downloaded from the internet by using your antivirus program.
  2. Install programs after checking them for viruses.
  3. Use Microsoft Word and Excel after disabling macros on suspicious files. If you open a document that contains macros that has a virus in it then these programs will warn you.
  4. Help spot: Double-Click on the help spot icon on your desktop for more information on how to protect your computer from viruses.

How to scan for Virus?

i. Click Start.

ii. Select programs.

iii. Then select the antivirus program installed on your computer.

iv. after the program opens.

(You can also select the type of scan from the scan area.)

How to Remove a Virus?

ii. Then remove the virus from your computer.

iii. Turn off your computer for a few minutes.

iv. Rescan for the virus as soon as your turn on your computer.

Important: For fighting against the latest virus you should often upgrade your antivirus program.

Recalibrating the Battery

One should recalibrate the battery once a year to maintain the accuracy of the battery gauge otherwise your notebook may unexpectedly go into standby mode while you’re using it but the battery is not low.

How to recalibrate your battery?

  • First connect your AC power adapter to your computer and then switch it on.
  • Press F2 to open the BIOS setup program at the start up screen.
  • To select the Security menu, press the left arrow key until you open it.
  • Go down to select the Battery Auto-Learning option. (By default, it is disabled)
  • To open a small setting window, press Enter.
  • Enable it by pressing the down arrow key.
  • Select Exit by pressing the left arrow key.
  • The battery recalibrating program begins when you select Exit Saving Changes by pressing the down arrow key.
  • The notebook recharges the battery after your battery has been recalibrated. It may take 12-24 hours to recharge. The battery gauge shows accurate battery charge after the battery has been recharged. In case the battery gauge still does not show accurate readings then contact your Technical support.
  • Important: If the recalibrating process is interrupted one must restart the process all over again so be careful.
  • To exit the recalibration process simply follow the on screen instructions.

Letter from, Suzanne I. Serlin-Resnick

Dear Oma Comp:

I extend my appreciation for your outstanding selection of staff, that being the excellence of Derek Paprzycki, Computer Technician.  He is delightful to work with. With immediacy he addresses challenges.

About one and a half months ago, our computer showed, “32 viruses”.  We had it cleaned and checked with another company.  They checked out our lap top as “healthy”.  Unfortunately, neither was in excellent condition.

For 3 weeks friends who are acquainted with computers cleaned and worked on my lap top which had a multitude of problems.  We were concerned it was contaminated with another virus; however, fortunately, being old, it was reflecting its age.

I am completing a book which is backed up by an outside company and my confidence in getting a new computer and transferring information was at the low end of the totem pole—especially if the cause of the problems was a virus!  After no printer and the computer seldom working we decided to transfer the materials to another laptop in excellent condition.

My friend Elsa Silverman suggested and applauded Omacomp Corporation.  The referral was great, thus I called immediately.  My call was returned right away and that very day, Derek came out to my home. It was standard. (If he did not come to my home the problems with the printer could not be resolved as it was the house computer creating the challenge.)  Derik thought this would be an easy transfer until he began.  The old laptop moved at a snails pace and the regular computer was not far off.  There were problems and he addressed each issue with consistent efficiency and patience. When he was ready for the transfer, it took extensive time to complete documents, thus he took the computers home to complete.  The next day he brought both back and addressed the memory and recommended virus protectors.  He was indeed extremely thorough.

What a delight it is to have my new special laptop functioning quick and easy. What a delight it is to know that my book is just fine and protected by Carbonite.  Derek even showed me how to alter material from Microsoft Works to Microsoft Word in the proper format.  He was diligent and patience with a computer novice’s explanations.  I highly recommend Omacomp Corporation and Derek Paprzycki.

Thank you to Omacomp Corporation for their excellent choice of staff.  All my friends and those I meet will hear about this caring company of service.

May all of us know the value of responsible, accountable technical abilities and the dedication to doing great work.

Best Always,

Suzanne I. Serlin-Resnick
