Who needs a berson clean?
PC Users living in Central Pennsylvania who have experienced a severe slowdown in their computer's performance should consult Berson3 Computers for a berson clean. Also, a berson clean may be the solution to other "unexpected behavior" that may occur, for instance: web browsers that do not show web pages, e-mail clients that no longer connect, and error messages that launch on computer boot up.
What is a berson clean?
A berson clean is the process where the technicians of Berson3 Computers remove malware composing of, but not limited to: spyware, adware, viruses, invalid registry keys, program files and other items related to malware. To remove the first layer of malware infection, Berson3 uses a combination of no fewer than four malware removal tools and performs at least two scans with each product. After the initial malware "scraping," Berson3 will "hand-remove" invalid registry entries relating to the malware that wasn't removed by the eight scans. Next, the computer will undergo scans from the four removal tools until each scan returns a result of zero infections. Finally, the computer will undergo a Berson Optimize, which is a process in which the registry is tweaked, services are disabled, and the hardware is optimized for speed. After that operation is complete, Berson3 Computers cleans the outside of your tower with a non-abrasive cleaner and returns the machine running faster and looking cleaner.
What is malware?
Over time, repeated trips on the internet can cause a slowdown in computer performance. Many websites not only deposit cookies onto your computer, but can also run ActiveX and other scripts which can do harm to your software. Some of these scripts are designed to gain information for the website that unleashes them onto your computer. The information they desire can vary from usernames and passwords, credit card information, or web surfing statistics. Other scripts are designed with the sole purpose of doing harm to your computer. Underhanded web companies make deals with websites where the company pays the site to run their script when the user visits that location. Upon running the script, the computer is immediately infected with software whose sole purpose is to sabotage your software environment. This software is referred to as malware. Often times, the malware comes packaged with software that is described as "the cure" for the malware it installed in the first place! They create the problem, and then offer the solution for a fee of course. Even more scripts are designed to install programs on your computer, or to open up ports on your computer which will cause an exorbitant amount of "pop-up" advertisements or worse yet, virus activity.
Why invest in a berson clean?
A berson clean not only impacts the speed of your once-treasured machine, but also can improve the security by closing ports that may have been opened by the malware on your machine. So in addition to the seconds/minutes you will shave off of your computers normal operations, you will also be taking a step to safeguard your information with your investment in a berson clean.
What about my data?
Data backup is the responsibility of the customer, and Berson3 Computers will not be held responsible for ANY lost data during the cleaning process. Berson3 Computers can back up your data for you! However, the data backup process is a completely separate event from the berson clean procedure and is billed by itself. You can learn more about the Data Backup services provided by Berson3 Computers by emailing reber@berson3.com.
