Virus And Malware Removal

Malware is easily the greatest threat to a computers well-being. Malware is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system, without the owner's informed consent.

• Adware
• Trojan Horses

Internet Security

There are a number of things Buffalo Tech Systems can do to help keep your computer secure from online threats:

• Connect a router with a built-in hardware firewall. Routers also allow multiple wired and wireless connections, which makes it possible to connect more than one computer to a single internet connection.
• If a router isn't for you, a software firewall can be configured to protect your computer. Software firewalls are generally not as reliable as hardware, but they are enough to make a noticeable difference. Combine a software and hardware firewall for maximum protection.
• Provide education on the importance of your web browser. Your browser is the portal where a majority of internet traffic enters your computer, and unknown to most, there are many different browsers to choose from.

Network Setup

If you have multiple computers in your home or business, then properly networking them can be very beneficial. Having a home network allows you to share files, printers, an internet connection and even stream media to your television or stereo system (with the proper hardware).

Even if you have a single computer, purchasing a wireless router has it's advantages. Once in place, you can easily add new computers to your network, or even let friends and family that might have a portable computer connect to it.

Let Buffalo Tech Systems satisfy all of your networking needs:

• Wireless network setup. This includes configuring a firewall and securing your wireless network so only authorized people can connect, and installing a wireless network card in every computer that needs one to use the network.
• Wired network setup. A wired network requires that ethernet cable be run from each computer in your house to a router. This type of network is much faster than a wireless network, and is very useful if you want to share large media files between computers.

Peripherals

Peripherals are optional hardware that expand a computer's abilities, usually external in nature.

Some examples of common peripherals are:

• Scanners
• Printers
• Webcams
• Multiple monitors
• Speakers
• USB flash drives
• Game controllers
