There’s a new piece of malware (defined in Wikipedia as a portmanteau from the words malicious and software, is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner’s informed consent.) out there that poses as a friendly site, but in reality, it will attack your PC.
It creates an entry in the registry and prevents you from updating your antivirus programs. It also prevents you from making changes in the registry itself, and can even redirect you to more bad sites on the internet.
Semo.net’s repair team can fix this for you, and make sure your PC leaves protected and updated with the latest security fixes.

On the slate for topics this morning with Rick Carl & Company, we will be talking about:
Conficker Virus
The Conficker worm is a computer worm that can infect your computer and spread itself to other computers across a network automatically, without human interaction. If you have an updated version of an AntiVirus program, you should not be at risk.
How Do I know if I have Conficker
To quickly find out if your PC might be one of the millions infected by Conficker, try clicking to Microsoft.com, Symantec.com, and McAfee.com. If you can get to these sites, you’re cool. But if your browser will not let you access any of these websites, then you very likely are infected with Conficker.
How does it work?
What if I get the Virus?
If you suspect that you have the virus (or any virus) that you contact your local computer repair service. semo.net’s Certified Service technicians are the best technicians in the area and our prices are lower than every other repair or service center. Call 686.9114 locally or 877.686.9114 outside of Poplar Bluff and press extension 3.

semo.net Hydra Internet Service makes the Wall Street Journal
Making a splash yesterday in Newspapers coast to coast, semo.net was touted as developing a service using a product from Mushroom Networks. This new offering was developed and designed by the employees of semo.net in cooperation with the design team from Mushroom Networks.
This new service offering was picked up by Wall Street Journal and several quotes from me were highlighted on the WSJ web site.

Windows 7.0 – Preview
We’ve been testing Windows 7.0, Microsoft’s latest operating system, and it is exactly what PC owners have been waiting for. The final release of W7 isn’t due out til the fall or later, but our technicians installed the beta software on one of our test systems that had XP previously. All of the installed programs running on W7 run faster than on XP, and when compared to Vista it is an even more impressive increase.
semo.net is already gearing up for the release of Windows 7.0 because we are in the process of creating a Windows 7 Upgrade Center. We will take your computer, upgrade your ram and your operating system for one low price that will beat the competition in price and turnaround time. At this point, our testing of Windows 7.0 gives us the confidence to suggest an upgrade to EVERYONE running Vista and will be recommending it for most computers running XP if your processor and RAM qualify.
