With all of the problems that home users and
companies are having with viruses, trojans, spyware and spam... we
decided to make the featured item for this month a security product.
Just imagine, you sit down at
your computer and begin to work on a document. The document is very
important. you work on it for several hours and it's just beginning to
come together the way you want it to. You need some information to
complete one of the very last sections so you open up a browser window
and do a search. All of a sudden, browser windows start popping up left
and right, you can't close them fast enough, the content of some of it
is inappropriate (to say the least) and the your computer goes dark red
or burgundy and their is an ominous message saying that your computer is
infected and you need to purchase this "life saving software" right away
and complete a scan and so forth. What are you going to do? Where is the
file that you spent all that time working on? Is it gone? If you are
lucky, this is your largest worry but, in some cases, you could lose
this file or all of your files, your system could crash or constantly
reboot, become very slow or bomb all together.
This can all be avoided if you do just one simple thing. Purchase and
install or have installed for you a comprehensive security program. We
recommend Norton Internet Security 2009
or Norton 360 by Symantec to all of our
clients and use it on all of our corporate systems. The program is
inexpensive and we have had wonderful success keeping our machines and
those of our clients, virus, spyware, malware, trojan and pop-up free
using it. It integrates extremely well with windows, your network and
Outlook and Outlook Express e-mail programs and is very strong, fast and
reliable.
