Living in Austin or Travis County, you expect your new tech to just work. But many local customers have contacted us after buying a brand-new HP all-in-one desktop (the sleek self-contained models with no separate tower) only to discover it was compromised within weeks.
Common signs we hear every week from Austin clients:
• Strange messages going out to friends and family (like fake “I had dinner with you” notes)
• Able to browse the web and send emails, but completely unable to receive new emails
• General worry that the computer has been hacked
This is a growing issue for new Windows 11 machines in the Austin area. Whether you’re in downtown Austin, North Austin, South Austin, Round Rock, or anywhere in Travis County, these email and malware problems can pop up fast.
Self-Help Steps Austin Readers Can Try Right Now
Before calling for help, here are a few things you can do yourself:
1. Change your email password immediately from a phone or another device and turn on two-factor authentication.
2. Open Windows Security, run a full virus scan, and restart your HP.
3. Review your sent items and delete anything suspicious.
4. Temporarily disconnect from Wi-Fi if you suspect ongoing activity.
