Breached Systems, Inc. is here protect the consumer, listed below are important facts YOU should know:

Insufficient Anti-Virus Products: Computers purchased with pre-installed security software provide a temporary solution to the user. The software provided does not work efficiently or effectively. The reason is that security software companies identify only malicious signatures that have already been written. This means you the consumer receives updates after you may have been infected with a virus. This leads into many computer virus related problems for the consumer and business.

Viruses are also known as Exploits: Exploits are programs used to search computers with backdoors that have vulnerable software which is within over 85% of computers on the market. This means that the software that’s pre-installed within computers is vulnerable to attacks.

Q & A:

Question: How did the Virus get there? Answer: Your Internet connection.

A backdoor program allows the hacker access to your computer whenever it's on the Internet. It's a remote control, and usually a very thorough one with full access to every file & database within a computer. Don't rely on secure procedures (such as cautious web browsing) as a method of stopping hackers. They sometimes fire programs over the Internet at random IP addresses to see if they stick. You could be happily surfing legit sites and from nowhere a hacking program can turn up on your machine trying to compromise the system.

Exploits are malicious programs written by hackers to exploit vulnerable computer systems and to be compromised without notification from software detecting the issue. These exploits gain the right for identity theft & to breach other financial companies.

Pre-loaded software on your computer can be compromised: The preloaded drivers, games & other unused software that comes with new computers may have pre-installed backdoors within the computer leading to spyware problems.

What are root kits and why are they considered threats?

A root kit is a piece of software that can be installed & hidden on your computer without your knowledge. It may be included in a large software package or installed by an attacker who has been able to take advantage of a vulnerability on your computer or has convinced you to download it to see more information . Root kits are not necessarily malicious, but they may hide malicious activities. Attackers may be able to access information, monitor your action, modify programs, or perform other functions on your computer without detection. Root kits are like Viruses, making your computer slow & sluggish. Bot nets carry out attacks to other computers to be compromised. How do you know if there is a root kit on your computer?

1. You are subjected to endless pop-up windows
2. You are redirected to websites other than the ones you type
3. Random window error messages appear upon screen

The main problem with root kits is that they are hidden & undetected from security software unless written to look for the source. Does this happen with your software, absolutely not! If a root kit has been installed, you may not be aware that your computer has been compromised & traditional anti-virus software may not be able to detect the malicious program. Attackers are also creating more sophisticated programs that update themselves so that they are even harder to detect. Attackers can use root kits to access & modify personal information, attack other
computers & commit other crimes, all while remaining undetected. Using multiple computers, attackers increase the range & impact of their crimes. Because each computer can be used as a bot net, these also can be programmed to execute the same command. An attacker can have each root kit scanning multiple computers for vulnerabilities, monitoring online activity, or collecting the information.
