Hello
and welcome to M.I.C.A., the website for the novice computer user who is
working to overcome the complex world of computers. We care about your
computer (machine) and only offer advice and links to the most credible
support offered anywhere.
Our
information focuses on: Software, Hardware, Security, Productivity, Internet, Technology
Products & Services designed for the Microsoft™ Windows XP platform, along
with Windows XP itself. We like XP products and think you will enjoy
them greatly, especially when you learn how to use them properly and optimize
their settings for security & performance. We
would like to offer some tools and advice on how you can maintain/regain control over
your XP machine. We have extensive databanks and resources that will help you:
understand your Windows XP® machine, lockdown your security settings,
learning about security threats, the different types of malicious software
(Malware) running today and the products designed to stop them.
The biggest threat to your system
in 2007 is Malware - such as Trojans, Rootkits, Adware, Browser Hijacks, Web
Bugs & Bots, Spyware and other Hiddenware installed on your machine. The Malware attacks
of 2007 are predicted to be the worse we have seen in many-many
years! While we can overcome this very serious problem, it will
take a new approach and M.I.C.A. is here, ready to help.
Do
not feel you need to be a know-it-all in the computer world to keep up, because
you can’t. New Malware is being written on almost a daily basis, evolving to
outsmart conventional internet security programs. But, together we can stop the
malicious content on the web and fix almost anything happening on your machine.
We will help you
lockdown
your machine from Malware & security attacks and discover how your machine
became
infected and what the clues are to Malware infestation.
If
you are not careful, in just a couple of hours on the internet you will have
some variant of Malware on your system. Once your system has been infected, your
machine will start to have problems performing simple tasks. It will slow down
and not respond, or lock up and shut down! Blue screen crashes,
internet browser errors, icons that are fuzzy or flickering, files or folders missing, and many other
strange glitches are signs of foul play.
You
may think you have protected yourself by purchasing a commercial virus scan
product and firewall. While you do need these, you will also need other software
along with a new way of looking at your computer, or machine, as we call them. I
like to think of computers as machines because they are so powerful and capable
of so much destruction. And because of this force, they need to be controlled
and used in a responsible fashion.
All
of our information has been researched, proven and used by us in the field for
many years as a way to secure your machine from attacks. We provide this site,
and all of its data, free of charge - so stick around and enjoy the show!
Let's
take back the web from the bad guys holding it ransom!™
