RIVENWOOD COMPUTER CARE INFO BYTES

 

 

Rivenwood Towers now use the Windows 7 Operating System. Windows XP Home Edition is not available, but there are a few copies of Windows XP Professional left.  If you still want a system with XP, the professional version is all we have left for the moment. Windows XP will be supported by Microsoft Until the year 2014. 
If you want a system with Windows XP Professional we advise you to get it now!

Other names will and can be used. These Rogue programs and fake alerts can come through email (outlook, outlook express) and Internet Explorer. Do not click on advertisements that say "free scan", or you maybe infected. Other rouge programs can be downloaded by unprotected sites with other programs or files such as videos, music, or games. Check to verify if the site is legitimate by searching the site through a search engine. A standard rule of thumb is: "Nothing is free", and if it sounds too good, then it's not good.
 
We highly advise the use of Mozilla Firefox for all internet usage. Firefox is much safer and secure than IE6, 7, or version 8. To enhance your security we advise getting an anti-virus program. Rivenwood recommends AVG. AVG uses a browser security program called web shield that scans websites for malicious content. If you believe you have contracted any of these bogus programs please call us at: 1-636-356-0023.
Whatever you do DO NOT PURCHASE IT or REGISTER IT.
 
FireFox can be downloaded at: www.firefox.com
