If your computer is doing anything on its own, you should contact us immediately for assistance.

Random Advertisements

It's normal to see regular ads while browsing the Internet (you should avoid clicking on any unless you trust the source). If you start getting popups/ads when you're not using the Internet, then your computer or laptop may be infected with some form of virus/malware. Run a scan immediately and contact us for further assistance.

Error Messages

One of the most common ways of finding out something is wrong is when your system shows you error messages. If you receive any error message related to missing system files, you should research the error and call us for assistance.
