Discovering the meaning of true security support - By: James Langer

It was only recently I understood the meaning of the security and any associated repercussions resulting for failing to pay heed to the same. Moreover, being a novice in the world of computers I also didn’t realize the threat landscape in the present times is indeed very complex. Wherein, cybercriminals are using a wide range of threats for breaking into the computers of gullible netizens and try and make away with their money illegally.

However, that’s not all for my friend who is a computer whiz also told me that majority of threats comprise of Trojans, Worms, Viruses and Exploit Code designed for enabling malware to exploit all possible vulnerabilities existing in the operating system or applications.

What’s more, cybercriminals also end up going gung-ho on a wide range of sophisticated techniques for not only hiding malware activity but rather make it difficult for anti-virus researchers to seek, analyze and detect malicious code.

Sourcing professional helped big time:

Well, when my PC started to behave in a highly erratic manner, I realized it was high time I got in touch with professionals. People who had real time knowledge about providing professional security support. And somehow in this endeavor I knew the internet was my best bet. So, I went ahead and “Googled” the words security support, waiting to see an ocean of companies exploding on the World Wide Web.

Guess what this was surely the case and at the top of the stack what I saw was an entity by the name of PCCare247; claiming itself to be nothing short of a blue-chip tech support provider. Times were desperate and calling up these guys was indeed my best bet to get the computer up and running once again.

I am a part of the chain:

The techie at the company told me I was a part of the problem and even though I was taken aback but then the representative told me cybercriminals continue to make extensive use of social engineering, i.e. they have all the tricks in the book to coax people into doing something which might undermine their online security. And yes from this point in the conversation I also did realize the issue plaguing my system was my own doing to a certain extent.

However, not going into any further technicalities, Alex the tech support guy at PCCare247 took control of my PC and removed all malicious elements which were hampering its efficiency. Yet, at the end of the day also suggesting techniques and ways which could keep all future threats at bay.

So, all in all at the end of the day what I can suggest to other amateur PC users is that going online and seeking help is not such a bad prospect after all. Provided one is taking all due care towards ensuring they are only getting in touch with the right company and people.
