Steyning Computer Helper

If your computer suddenly starts playing a siren or you see a pop-up like this one, don't worry. I've been hearing about these quite a bit around Steyning lately.

Quite often, it's simply a scam pop-up rather than a genuine warning from your computer.

You can safely close the webpage and then run a quick scan for viruses with your usual antivirus software, just to make sure everything is OK.

Some of these pop-ups can be caused by website notifications that have been allowed in your browser. If you're getting them, this guide from Which? explains what to do:

And if you're still a little unsure, I'm always happy to take a look. 😊

Really glad I could get Len's computer, in Storrington, all ship-shape and Bristol fashion and make things a bit easier for him!

It was a pleasure teaching Sue from Steyning how to get her computer up and running. And what a lovely little dog too!

It’s always a pleasure helping people feel more confident with their tech! Christine and her husband had been struggling with their TV and tablet for months, and I was glad to get everything sorted for them. If you need a hand with anything tech-related, just let me know!
