At Nerds To Go, we take great pains to make sure your PC is secured with the latest in protection and updates. Sadly, at some point we all get bitten by the malware bug. Statistically speaking, it seems like a large number of downloads out there are infected. Remember, If any software says you need it for protection and it's from Microsoft...and of course wants to charge you money...skip it, don't click it!

The More You Nerd, The More You Know...
Did you know...
The Friendly, Knowledgeable Nerds you see at your home or business are conveniently available at our two stores. Drop off your laptop on the way to work or stop in for a quick question. You can also browse our complete systems, and see the Nerds in action.
Speaking of complete systems, did you know we offer the complete PC purchasing experience? Your local Nerd will help you select a new computer, whether desktop or laptop. Then, as if by magic, the Nerd will whisk himself away in their NUV (Nerd Utility Vehicle) and promptly return with a system customized for you.
They'll help you transfer all your data and settings, get you on-line, and give you a quick one-on-one lesson on what's new with your PC.
But we don't just work on PCs, our Nerds are Mac knowledgeable and frankly a bit obsessed with all things Apple. You might see them whip out an iPhone for some quick research or to place a call to our highly trained
Nerd Service Representatives. Should that iPhone fall and break a Nerd can fix it good as new. In fact, we work on iPods, iPhones, iPads, and Macs.
If your computer is feeling a bit slow, sometimes a healthy boost of RAM can speed things right back up. Our Nerds come ready with upgrades in tow. We carry the most common hardware items you could need on a visit, from RAM to Routers we cover all the bases.
Sometimes your PC is under the weather from the latest virus outbreak. Our Nerds are equipped with the medicine your PC needs, they carry a full antivirus suite on hand at all times. And just to be on the safe side, once your PC is free and clear of all infestations, your Nerd will help you backup your precious memories to the cloud or to an external solution.
As if that wasn't enough, the Nerd you see at your home might show up to your place of business as well. They'll treat your business like it's their own, by being prompt, courteous and letting you do what's important while they deal with the Nerdy bits. Servers, networks, firewalls and healthy dose of Nerd know-how means your business runs smoothly and you'll sleep soundly knowing we're just a phone call and yellow car away.

MAC Defender Malware Hits Mac OS
There's a new shiny piece of Malware ready to exploit your computer and wallet on Mac OS called MAC Defender. It seems to be targeting Safari users on Mac using a java script exploit. If Safari's open safe files option is on, the program will be downloaded as a zip then the installer will automatically launch. Of course you still have to put in your password to install, so be aware of what you are installing. As always we recommend having a good and up to date antivirus, yes even on a Mac.
