Windows XP Guides
Below are some of the methods Net Convergence uses when fixing everyday problems found performing service calls for customers in the Kansas City metro area. While we can provide you with IT help, some people prefer to fix/keep things running on their own. These guides are for you. :)

Malware
There are many types of malware or software that harms your computer and slows down the everyday operation of your computer. These include Viruses, Worms, Trojans, Spyware, Adware and Rootkits. This guide will show you how to remove these infections and protect yourself from future infections.
The Malware Guide is basically the starting point for the other guides that follow. Without a clean computer there is no way to optimize or secure your computer. About 89% of all computers are infected with one form of malware or another.
