Prevent Antivirus

Panther Computers is proud to announce Prevent Security, the hacker, virus, and spyware proof solution that the world has been looking for. Prevent stops viruses before they can occur with a mixture of high technology and ancient techniques melded to provide you a preventive approach that no other security product can. Instead of being reactive and creating a library of virus definitions the Prevent technology is proactive preventing the virus before it hits your computer. (we hope you enjoyed our April Fools Day humor 8-0)

Dont Get Hooked

Several competitors advertise low diagnostic fees, but dont be fooled by their attempt to hook you. Our $30 fee includes the fix for many common quick fixes including the installation of replacement hardware, installation of software, and if the repair takes more the $30 goes towards the rest of the repairs.

What's the difference between RAM and a hard drive?

I get asked this question frequently or can tell by the way callers and customers are speaking that they don't know the difference between memory or RAM and the hard drive.

It Wont Work

You may have noticed one or more commercials on TV that claims that they can remotely connect to your computer and make it "work", however be sure they don't charge you if they can't. Most problems today are spyware and virus related and there is absolutely no way this can be cleaned remotely, even if your Internet is working. If your system is just bogged down from normal use, be sure you pay no more than you could at a local shop for a service that is hyped late night alongside the vacuum cleaners, kitchen gizmos, and colon cleansers.

Windows 7 Upgrades

There are several considerations when looking at upgrading from older operating systems that can prevent you from doing so. Below is some things that must be considered when looking to upgrade to Windows 7 from older operating systems. W7 Home Premium upgrade costs $119.99 at Panther Computers and we will install it for $50.

Good from Bad

Here is the roundabout tale of how I came to enter the computer business back in 1986 after having started, then dropped the computer science program intending to become a professional programmer after high school. It gives you a little insight on my journey, but also hopefully awaken you to the types of scams used by computer repair stores that still permeates the business today.

Moving the Tips and FAQS

We are moving our tips and tricks, tech tips, and FAQs related to every day computer use to our new international FAQ site, the Tipository. If you have a question on computers please visit the new site and submit your non-urgent requests today. Any information directly related to Panther Computers will still be on this site.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Antivirus

Until done, this is a placeholder of my upcoming details of the pros and cons of the most popular antivirus software being used today. I will hold no punches back not even for the the best, top rated AVG that we use and sell. I will be so bold that I run the risk of loosing my Gold level reseller status with AVG because, no one product is a home run and frankly I'm looking for a reason to fire AVG.

IDE All Gone

The availability of IDE hard drives has been waning for some time now and the only manufacturer that I can find in both desktop 3.5" and notebook 2.5" is Western Digital. For years I have absolutely refused to sell a WD drive since in my personal opinion and experience they are the worst engineered and most unreliable drive on the market. We will now special order WD notebook 2.5" IDE drives until an alternative is available but with the following conditions:

End of an Era

Last year at this time many competitors tried to scare you into buying their systems then before the Windows XP sky had fallen. Since then we have continued to build Panther Computers with XP as our wholesalers still had the operating system available. As of our last order all Windows XP operating systems have been pulled from wholesale and we will no longer be able to provide you new computers with XP.

Identity Theft and Hard Drives

With the growing problem of identity theft and the rapid accumulation of old computer equipment, it is time to consider the challenges and the solutions to help safeguard your personal information from would be thieves. Unfortunately for many people getting factual and reliable information on how to properly dispose of old computers is a myriad of half truths, and much ignorance on the parts of those so-called experts. Here I hope to help you consider the real dangers, and the real solution to the heart of the matter, the disposal of hard drives.
