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. :)

Purpose

This site is designed to help our clients keep their computers safe and secure. In addition we want our customer's computers to work as well as they did when they were new.

This website will address several areas: Malware Removal, Windows Optimization, and Windows Security.

If you are unsure where to start please see the Diagnose page.

If time is an issue or if you prefer to have your computer cleaned by the professionals at Net Convergence please see the Helpdesk page.

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.

Good luck! If you should have any questions please see our Helpdesk page.

Optimization

The Optimization Guide will help you improve Windows XP performance. By performing the steps in this guide Windows XP's default configuration can be optimized further thus increasing system performance.

Good luck! If you should have any questions please see our Helpdesk page.
