iYogi's Launches a Dedicated Support Desk to Secure Against the Conficker Worm
Conficker Worm Support Desk is Available 24/7 via Toll-free Number 1-800 237-3901
New York (PRWEB) March 31, 2009 -- iYogi, a global
direct to consumer and small business remote
technical support provider has setup a dedicated
support desk for securing and protecting consumers
against the Conficker (Conficker.c) worm, also known
as Downadup or April Fools Worm. This fast spreading
computer worm has already said to have impacted
millions of computers, and expected to spread more
aggressively in the coming days.
iYogi's dedicated support desk has proactively reached
its existing base of 65,000 subscribers and helping
other individuals and small businesses that have been
infected or would like to take the precaution to protect
themselves.
iYogi's security experts can be reached instantly via toll free number 1-800-237-3901, to sign-up for a subscription service that provides unlimited access to technical support and virus removal, along with a free, anti-virus and anti-spyware software to protect, secure and manage the computer and all connected devices.
"As the industry braces for the impact of the worm on April 1st, our Microsoft Certified experts will help diagnose if your machine is infected, update settings and definitions for your security software and install Windows Operating System update to reduce the threat from the Conficker worm. Our computer tech support service includes a free subscription to anti-virus and anti-spyware software, in the scenario where the customer does not have a subscription," said Vishal Dhar, President Marketing for iYogi.
Conficker worm is said to take advantage of the vulnerabilities in the Windows Operating System environment and embeds itself into the computer and spreads across the network. The worm restricts the computer from accessing security updates and believed to have the capability to destroy and steal data. Experts claim that the worm can also download additional code onto a machine that is infected and is continuously evolving into variations, thereby making attempts to fix it through automation more difficult.
Potential indicators that Conficker Worm may have infected your PC includes restricted access to Microsoft.com and websites of security vendors like Symantec, etc. and prevents the user from shutting down their machines.
