At CB Services, we can fix your computer!

Quality

CB Services is a low-cost, high quality technology service provider. We do this by eliminating the corporate overhead of most larger businesses. When you go to a big box store to get your computer repaired, you pay $80 per hour, of which only $10 goes to the technician. What kind of a technician can you get for $10 an hour?

The rest of your money goes to pay for flashy advertising, multiple layers of managers, and a corporate head office that may not even be in your country.

In the process, business decisions are not made based on what will make the company the most money, but what makes the best technical sense for the customer.  CB Services is run by technical expertise, not marketing.

Security

Consider that the number of personal records stolen in data breaches from a company or organization since January 2005 has reached over 150% of the population, and identity theft is at an all time high.

Specializing in data security, CB Services can help ensure that your critical and confidential business data will not be leaked out to identity thieves, or the competition.

In fact, in the entire history of CB Services, no company that's been following our advice for data security has ever had a data breach.  How many technology companies can say that?

Convenience

Remote Support: As long as your computer will turn on and connect to the Internet, problems such as spyware and viruses, driver installs, and basic training can be handled with our remote support service. You don't need to take your computer anywhere.

Choice

A leading Linux system builder in London, Ontario, we have technicians certified in Linux, Windows 95/98/Me, and Windows NT/2000/XP, as well as networking, and other high-end information technology requirements.

Another new email virus is making the rounds of inboxes.

This one comes with a subject line of:

get back to my office for more details

and the body text is:

Please read the attached letter and get back to my office for more details to
proceed further.

Thanks and have a very nice day.

The attachment is a zip file of 28 kilobytes.

This one has a reasonably good detection rate at virustotal.com, of 75%.

All the major antivirus engines detect it, with the exception of Sunbelt (producer of CounterSpy).

That means anybody with up to date antivirus should be safe, provided it's working properly.

This trojan will turn your computer into a spam relay, and steal email addresses from various files on your computer.  There is the possibility of other activities, as it does embed itself into Internet Explorer, meaning it could be used to steal usernames and passwords for sensitive sites like banks.  It also downloads and executes programs from Internet servers, so it could easily upgrade its capabilities in future.

If you're a Facebook user, you need to be aware of the latest email virus/trojan.

It comes as an attachment to an email with the subject:

Facebook Password Reset Confirmation

The body of the email contains the following text:

Hey <username> ,

Because of the measures taken to provide safety to our clients, your password has
been changed.
You can find your new password in attached document.

Thanks,
The Facebook Team

The attachment is a 21 kiloByte zip file, containing a single file.

This file isn't recognized by most bigger antivirus programs such as Symantec/Norton, McAfee, and Trend Micro.

Once your computer is infected, this trojan then downloads other files from the Internet and executes them.  At least one of these files installs a fake antivirus program on the infected computer, encouraging the user to buy the rogue software.
