Cybertek Computer Solutions

If you are still running Windows 7, now is the time to consider upgrading to Windows 10. Support for Windows 7 ends in less than 2 months. January 14, 2020 is the date that Microsoft stops providing support and new updates. Windows 7 will continue to work after support ends but you will be more vulnerable to viruses, malware and other security issues as time goes by.

Cybertek can evaluate your computer to determine if it can be upgraded or if it is time to replace it. If your computer meets the requirements for Windows 10, we can upgrade it for you.

Give us a call at 423-753-7679 or bring your computer to our shop at 1103 E Jackson Blvd in Jonesborough.

If you use Firefox as your web browser, you may be getting redirected to a page, like this picture, that tries to convince you that there is an urgent update to be installed. This is an attempt to install malware on your computer. It is caused by a malicious ad on the website you just visited.

Firefox downloads and installs updates automatically so don't be fooled by these fake updates..

If you suspect your computer is infected with malware, give us a call or stop by. We can scan your computer and remove the malware.

Happy New Year!
