Our Chicago IT Managed Services team received a call late last night from a CPA working late (it's tax season).  The new malware infection was called "Smart Fortress 2012."  When the computer first boots up, the Internet works, but shortly thereafter, the Internet on the infected computer disables itself, and you are not allowed to open any tasks on the computer that are executables (exe files).

Businesses today rely on computer technology more than ever to run their business.  It's become necessary to maintain a Chicago IT Support budget for your computer systems.  Many businesses will decide to work on an as-needed basis; only calling their Chicago IT Services firm when there is a problem with their computer systems.  This can be very stressful at times, especially when your vendor isn't as responsive as you'd like.
