SYSTEM AND FILE PROTECTION

Computer Security -  We can help business and home users to secure their computer network, files and folders to ensure total privacy. Security issues for home users are just as real as security issues for business users. Why do you need security?  There is information on your computer that is worth protecting. Credit card numbers, banking account information, email addresses, personal documents, legal information, etc. Everybody has a right to privacy and most computers and computer software in use today isn't designed with this in mind. Your computer isn't as secure as you think. We all know that computer/data security is an ongoing process -- but we tend to think of security in terms of events rather than prevention. By changing our thinking to one of preventive care rather than triage, most if not all serious events can be prevented. We can secure your home or business network-connected systems or Internet connected computers by installing virus protection, firewall, and spyware protection software.

Virus Protection - Up-to-date anti-virus software will protect against viruses, worms and Trojan Horses that the anti-virus software providers have identified and neutered. Attacks on network-connected home systems can result in; loss of data, loss of confidentiality, impersonation or a similar abuse of the system that can be traced back to and blamed on you, and Denial of Service (DoS). The root cause of these threats is that someone else gains the capability to execute software on your computer. The most likely means of an attacker's accomplishment of this goal is via a virus, worm or a Trojan Horse. Up-to-date anti-virus software will protect against viruses, worms and Trojan Horses.

Spyware Protection - Spyware is software that can display advertisements (such as pop-ups), collect information about you and the websites you've visited, and change settings on your computer without your consent. We can install anti-spyware software that will help protect your computer by watching for and stopping spyware trying to install and run on your computer. Anti-spyware programs can be configured to run constantly in the background or be scheduled to do a full system scan to prevent, find or remove any spyware that might already be installed.

Firewall Protection -  Hackers attack home and business computers everyday. In fact, you may have already been hacked and just didn't realize it. The most effective way to prevent hacker attacks is by using a Firewall. An Internet Firewall is a piece of software or hardware that helps screen out hackers. Firewalls install a protective barrier between your PC and the rest of the world. We can install Firewall protection software that will operate continuously, protecting your computer from malicious hackers as you are surfing the Internet and using your computer for everyday use.
