In Portland, like any big city, there are many threats to our safety.
Just like physical safety, there are digital threats that are hard to
understand, but can impose on our happiness and security. Some have
simple fixes, like running virus scanners, but some of these threats
that we call “malware” can fly under the radar and evade us.
Like it or not, these threats don’t just go away and there are still
ones which persist despite our best efforts. Wouldn’t it be great if
someone in Portland was here for us to fix these terrible problems
that was friendly, courteous, professional and knowledgeable?
