Fake error windows still catching out consumers
A new malware threat is doing the rounds and it looks just like a legitimate Windows 10 error window and despite years of warning consumers are still getting caught out.
Named Hicurdismos, this malware tries to pass itself off as Microsoft Secruity Essentials, once executed the malware produces a fake BSoD (Blue Screen of Death) and directs its victims to call a toll-free number where presumably someone will try to extract your credit card details from you.
As with all malware threats you need a multi-tiered approach to protection, you must have reputable and up-to-date anti-malware software installed and you must train yourself and your staff to be vigilant and skeptical when it comes to errors and warnings.

Testimonials
My business has grown from 3 stores to 5 stores over the last 3 years; one of the unfortunate consequences of this has been the fact that our old server and network could not cope with the growth. After much deliberation we chose Australia Wide I.T. to not only arrange the supply and installation of our new network, but to also provide long term support. We have been very pleased with our decision and would happily recommend them.

All good as usual, keep up the professional service.
Diana
Our previous I.T. Service Provider was distant, hard to contact and not customer focused. With Australia Wide I.T. we now have great service with a human touch. Our calls are answered promptly and the team is always ready to help in any way.
The maintenance program put in place by AWIT offers us peace of mind that our entire system is correctly and closely monitored.

Your work last week was amazing. You couldn’t have been more supportive or expert in your conduct. I am very grateful and am amazed at your generous invoicing of last week’s work. I can only repay you by recommending you to as many people as possible.
Thank you. It is refreshing to know that when a problem occurs, you are always there – with great service.
Keran
Very much appreciate your very quick response today. It was pay day today and I was a bit worried (that we wouldn’t be able to process the pays) but because of you all is well, so a big thanks.
Dale
They’ve gotten to know our business so well and they’re truly interested in helping us. It’s like having our own I.T. Department in-house. Australia Wide I.T. takes a personal interest in our team, our business and where we’re going. They’re like family.
Other I.T. companies just didn’t seem to have the same depth of knowledge as these guys. Rather than blame the user (us) they go the extra mile, locate the problem and fix it – Every time!
