What is native resolution?
Posted on May 11th, 2011Native resolution applies to LCD monitors which have a specific amount of pixels. For example a monitor with a native resolution of 1024×768 has 786,432 elements of light arranged on a rectangular grid. LCD monitors have only one native resolution at which they will display images correctly, when your monitor is not properly configured, this can cause images to look stretched out and/or blurry.
You can fix this yourself by matching your graphics adapter resolution output to the native resolution of your monitor, our Tune Up service takes care of issues like these and finds errors in your system.

Warning: MS Removal Tool is fake.
Posted on April 29th, 2011On a recent service call a customer showed me how his computer was protected by this software called MS Removal Tool, he entered his credit card information, paid about $40 and his computer was free of viruses. People are still falling for this fake software that takes over a computer and demands money by pretending to find all sorts of threats in your system.
Let me be clear on this, any program that starts up an automatic scan and immediately finds threats and then demands money to remove them is fake software, MS Removal Tool is not the first software of its kind and certainly not the last. When you get a pop-up window with a message that your computer needs a scan or that you automatically won a free PS3 or an ipod, DO NOT CLICK ON IT! You may be putting your computer and your data at risk.
MS Removal Tool disables all processes that could shut it down, changes your internet settings so you can’t download an anti-virus and limits the functionality of your computer to only a couple of programs. In most cases the computer becomes unusable and needs to be checked by a professional.
