What is the processor and why is it important?
The processor (CPU, Central Processing Unit) is the most important component inside the PC. It is the brain of the entire operation of the system, in charge of directing all the tasks carried out by the team and executing the code of the different programs. Many times, with the help of the rest of components and peripherals.
From a physical point of view, a CPU is a very complex structure that is made up of billions of transistors made of silicon. These are combined to form logic gates. These serve to form the different structures that allow to treat the instructions in an orderly manner and the execution of the code.

Virus
A computer virus is a type of malware that acts by attaching itself to legitimate files or programs. Once the infected file is opened, the virus is activated. One of the main differences between a virus and malware is that a virus spreads itself by spreading its code into other programs. A virus can infect a computer or system in different ways, for example, through a phishing attack, a compromised web page, or an infected link. Viruses can spread quickly and widely, while corrupting system files, wasting resources, destroying data, spreading spam, and generally wreaking havoc on devices and systems. Advanced polymorphic viruses can even change their code to avoid detection.

Phishing
As the name sounds, the way Phishing works is it hooks you into a website luring you into taking the bait. These websites might ask for personal account information, e-mail passwords, credit card information, etc.
Ransomware
Ransomware is the blending of the words Ransom and the last portion of Software: ransom in English means a sum of money or payment demanded for the release of a prisoner (in this case our data), and ware is a shortening of the well-known word software. Ransomware is a subtype of malware, the blending of “malicious software.” It hijacks our information and extorts us to return it.
To have a better understanding of what Ransomware is and How to prevent it, we shared 2 different articles with everything you need to know to stay safe.
Data-Breach
Data Breach is a term that we see very often when we read about cybersecurity.
he Data Breach is what is most present in the web. It’s an attack, an intrusion into a system with the aim of stealing information and data.

Mac Computers and Viruses
MACs also get infected with malware and viruses. It’s nothing new that Apple devices are infected with cyber threats. However, Apple’s efforts to improve the security of MacOS continue to make it a much less vulnerable operating system than Microsoft’s Windows, which is a common and permanent target of potential threats.
Viruses on macOS

Operating Systems
Windows & macOS Common Issues
Windows Blue Screen Of Death
We must consider that the reason why Windows crashes and prompts the BSOD is, in fact, to prevent even more damage.
There are different situations, when the BSOD will show, such as while booting up, after a Windows update, after installing a third-party program, while playing a game or even when left ‘idle’.
Windows password not working
As you well know, every time we start Windows 10 we have to enter the password to be able to work with the operating system. Eliminating this step is not as easy as we could imagine at first, since everything is synchronized with our Microsoft account. It can all be done and we are going to show you how, since we have several ways.
What is a VPN?
A VPN or virtual private network is a software that secures your internet connection using an encrypted tunnel to disguise your actual location and prevent others from eavesdropping on your online activity over public Wi-Fi and unsecured networks.
Remote Connection
A remote connection is an alternative to help users with almost any computer problem. Whether you are experiencing issues with a Windows or MacOS update/upgrade, installing a new program, slow computer, overheating, viruses, problems with your printer or any other technical problem that may compromise your computer or even if your device requires preventive maintenance; Goinsta Repairs uses an encrypted and solid software platform which allows us to get your device up and running even if you are in a different city, county, state or in another country.
