, Which provides a quick, cost-effective and stress-free technology support experience over the Internet and phone.For the parents of high school and college seniors who'll be receiving a PC as a graduation gift, the harsh reality should be a call to action to ensure the tech health and well-being of their children with a subscription for tech support.
"Our experience shows that no matter how comfortable and savvy older kids and young adults are with computers, they inevitably will do something that can result in unwanted malware, viruses, or even the theft of their identity," comments Dhugael McLean, Tech Support Analyst at Support.com. "With so much of a student's work and social life dependent on their laptop and desktop PCs, they simply can't afford to have any tech downtime."
Here are a just a few tech health concerns facing this year's graduates:
-- Call it Anti-Social Networking: Don't trust new friends on your social network. They could be spreading social networking viruses such as the KOOBFACE virus that can make its way through social networking sites, such as Facebook. This worm is spread by sending infected messages to existing friends to become a fan of a community, check out photos, view videos, etc. It's important to eradicate it before it infects and alienates professors, new schoolmates and relatives. -- Beware of Shovelware: Is that new computer received as a graduation gift running efficiently out of the box, or is it starting off in the slow lane due to all the pre-loaded programs known as shovelware, trialware, crapware, spyware and bloatware? -- New Virus Threats: Keeping computers protected against viruses and spyware is essential as modern hackers up the ante in digital theft. It's critical to have the right tools to combat worms like Conficker, scareware like Antivirus 360 / Antivirus 2009 and other new virus, spyware or phishing attempts. provides services and software that help consumers and small businesses with their technology needs.
