Concise of Lake Orion has Computer Trouble Shooting Skills that Includes Fixing the Client as Well
March 18th, 2010
As the computer repair center for Oakland, Wayne and Macomb Counties, Concise maintains a client list that resembles the âwhoâs whoâ in the Michigan small business community. They are good, and they are growing out of their digs in Bloomfield Hills.One of the reasons that Concise is so well respected in their industry is because they take the time to explain and teach at the same time. Letâs face it, the information highway has its own language today. Computer techies have always had a vernacular that tended to exclude the rest of the non-techie world. Making things worse for us non-techies today, is the next layer of computer- speak: abbreviations of all the words that we had no clue about from the beginning.The staff at Concise will now lead the pc tech support field by offering a series of articles with those definitions of words from the computer tech support world. This is the first offering in what Concise hopes will be a long series of definitions from the computer tech speaker.HONEYPOTWikipedia defines a HONEYPOT in computer speak, as a trap set to detect, deflect, or in some manner counteract unauthorized attempts to obtain use of information systems. A HONEYPOT consists of a computer, data, or a network site that appears to be part of a network. But, the Honeypot is actually an isolated and unprotected deadend which appears to a hacker as valuable information.Simply put, a HONEYPOT is a seductive decoy. It lures the attacker into a harmless area of your system where it could be isolated, detected, and hopefully discovered by cyber police.Another use of the Honeypot is to isolate spam. Spammers abuse vulnerable resources such as open mail relays. Some system administrators have created honeypot programs that masquerade as these decoy resources to discover spammer activity. There are several capabilities that honeypots provide to the administrators and the existence of such seductive bait systems makes abuse more difficult or risky for the spammer. Honeypots can be a powerful countermeasure to abuse from those who rely on very high volume abuse (e.g., spammers). These honeypots can reveal the apparent IP address of the abuse and provide bulk spam capture (which enables operators to determine spammer’s URLs and response mechanisms).HONEYNETSTwo or more honeypots on a network form a HONEYNET. Typically, a HONEYNET is used for monitoring a larger and/or more diverse network in which one honeypot may not be sufficient. Honeynets and honeypots are usually implemented as parts of a larger computer trouble shooting system. A HONEYFARM is a centralized collection of honeypots and analysis tools. The next visit from a Concise Computer Consulting technician should go smoother. And, when the topic turns to setting up a Honeyfarm for your small businessâs computer system, you will immediately understand that you are not about to purchase a bunch of bee hives.Concise Computer Consulting services the small and medium sized business community as well as residential homeowners. Concise offers every kind of on site computer service: laptop repair service, online pc repair, pc tech support and computer trouble shooting.

Computer repair in Chicago Illinois
November 9th, 2009
PCs are great when they are working correctly but when they stop working it can be a serious headache. It appears that life almost stops when PCs malfunction. It causes Problems in traffic when the lights malfunction, it can impact entire enterprises if their systems go down and it is simply a major inconvenience. Computer fix firms have become extremely popular due to how much people have come to rely on them when computers malfunction.
computer companies can definitely used auto magnetic signs because they travel from place to place and a lot of folk would be in a position to view their moving announcement. Sometimes individuals have computer Problems but they aren’t aware of whom to contact to lessen the problem. A vehicle magnetic sign would let individuals know about the computer repair company and could lead to a future shopper.
Sometimes folk need reminders to call engineers so that the sign could serve as a great reminder. If the computer company offers free ballpark quotes, consultations or any other motivations like that it may be a good idea to also include that on the automobile magnetic sign. This may help to draw attention and attract more customers. Computer repairs can be pricey and many people never get help because they fear the costs but giving them a little incentive to get them in the door might lead to a great business relationship in the long term.

Concise Computer Consulting of Clarkston says Computer Virus Repair is the only Answer to Remove Harmful Software: Virus, Spyware & Pop-ups
October 30th, 2009
Viruses – A virus is a small piece of software that replicates itself. A virus might attach itself to a program such as a spreadsheet program. Each time the spreadsheet program runs, the virus runs, too, and it has the chance to reproduce (by attaching to other programs) or wreak havoc. E-mail viruses – An e-mail virus moves around in e-mail messages, and usually replicates itself by automatically mailing itself to dozens of people in the victim’s e-mail address book. Worms – A worm is a small piece of software that uses computer networks and security holes to replicate itself. A copy of the worm scans the network for another machine that has a specific security hole. It copies itself to the new machine using the security hole, and then starts replicating from there, as well. Trojan horses – A Trojan horse is simply a computer program. The program claims to do one thing (it may claim to be a game, or a “free” piece of software) but instead does damage when you run it (it may erase your hard disk). Trojan horses have no way to replicate automatically. They are called Trojan horses because they are sometimes disguised as normal computer programs.
Spyware:
Spyware is defined as any software that covertly gathers user information through the user’s Internet connection without his or her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes. Spyware applications are typically bundled as a hidden component of freeware or shareware programs that can be downloaded from the Internet; however, it should be noted that the majority of shareware and freeware applications do not come with spyware. Once installed, the spyware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that information in the background to someone else. Spyware can also gather information about e-mail addresses and even passwords and credit card numbers.
Spyware often causes “pop-up” advertisements to appear on the user’s screen, without the user’s knowledge or consent. These pop-ups can be quite a headache, and spyware itself often slows down computers to a slow crawl.
Because spyware exists as independent executable programs, they have the ability to monitor keystrokes, scan files on the hard drive, snoop other applications, such as chat programs or word processors, install other spyware programs, read cookies, change the default home page on the Web browser, consistently relaying this information back to the spyware author who will either use it for advertising/marketing purposes or sell the information to another party. When the home page of your web browser changes without your knowledge or consent, this is referred to a home-page hijacking. Read the rest of this entry »
