Specializing in virus and malware removal
New types of malware (malicious software) are always under development, becoming harder to avoid, and even harder to remove. While some infections result only in annoyance and inconvenience, many exploit a computer or the data it contains without user knowledge, potentially allowing credit card numbers, passwords, and other sensitive information to be divulged to hackers. This can lead to identity theft, fraud, and other problems that no one wants to experience.
If your computer has begun to behave strangely, e.g. run very slowly, lock up or crash, or display unusual messages, this could be an indication of an infection. Many users mistakenly believe that an anti-virus program provides adequate protection, when in fact, most are surprisingly ineffective at preventing or removing infections once they have been detected. New variants often require a combination of different software tools and manual removal methods, as they are specifically designed to prevent you and your anti-virus solution from getting to them.
If you’re struggling with a virus or malware, do not wait any longer to get help! Egghead Computer Solutions will rid your computer of any and all threats, and at costs well below other competitors.

Technically Speaking
Booking.com confirms hackers accessed customers' data
(4/13/26) Booking.com confirmed Monday that hackers may have accessed customers' personal data, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, and booking details. The global travel and hotel reservation giant notified customers this past week of the breach, according to several online posts. "We're writing to inform you that unauthorized third parties may have been able to access certain booking information associated with your reservation," read the notification to customers, according to one user’s post on Reddit. Several other Reddit users replying to the post said they received the same notification. The message from the company included the aforementioned types of compromised data, as well as "anything that you may have shared with the accommodation." The user who posted the notification on Reddit told TechCrunch that they received a phishing message via WhatsApp two weeks ago that included "booking details and personal information." That suggests hackers are leveraging the stolen information to target Booking.com customers.
Booking.com spokesperson Courtney Camp told TechCrunch that the company "noticed some suspicious activity involving unauthorized third parties being able to access some of our guests' booking information. Upon discovering the activity, we took action to contain the issue. We have updated the PIN number for these reservations and informed our guests." SOURCE / ARTICLE

Beware of Tech Support Scams
In a recent twist, scam artists are using the phone to try to break into your computer. They call, claiming to be computer techs associated with well-known companies like Microsoft. They say that they’ve detected viruses or other malware on your computer to trick you into giving them remote access or paying for software you don’t need. But the purpose behind their elaborate scheme isn’t to protect your computer; it’s to make money.
Once they’ve gained your trust, they may:
• ask you to give them remote access to your computer and then make changes to your settings that could leave your computer vulnerable
• try to enroll you in a worthless computer maintenance or warranty program
• ask for credit card information so they can bill you for phony services — or services you could get elsewhere for free
• trick you into installing malware that could steal sensitive data, like user names and passwords
• direct you to websites and ask you to enter your credit card number and other personal information
