Growing Need of Antivirus Programs

Antivirus programs are a part of effective computer maintenance. The available virus removal software are designed to detect any virus on your individual computer followed by removing it while protecting your machine simultaneously.

There are several ways a virus can attack your PC. It can be through downloads, installation of new software, or sending and receiving emails. This is why it is always suggested to scan everything you download, and update your antivirus software regularly.

As believed by the most, E-mail is not actually the virus breeding ground until and unless you have been sent a spam mail by anyone. Spam emails contain viruses as attachments — either rich-text e-mail or animation. Using efficient antivirus software, scan all attachments before you download. Never open attachments sent by unknown people.

Many email client programs like Yahoo mail and Microsoft Outlook offer security preferences to prevent email borne viruses from running the functionality of your computer. Other latest versions of Microsoft email clients contain much powerful features to keep spam at bay. In case, you don’t know how to adjust your email settings, you can get the task done using email support services available online. In addition, you can also avail PC optimization and protection services.

There are several antivirus programs coming as a combo pack with antispyware programs. They boast to provide complete protection for your computer against the virus and spy ware. However, this can also be a marketing stunt. Therefore, always consult with an expert or computer repair technician before buying or downloading such packs. The job of protecting the computer against malware is not easy and the task is not just limited to antivirus installation.

Computer protection services offer you active security products that you need to protect your computer. Such an array includes Reinstallation or uninstalling antivirus software, standard upgrade, running a virus scan, removal of threats found, subject to having access to said files and the capabilities of antivirus software.

The best part about such services that they are easily available online and generally provide the support 24/7. Computer protection services are advisable for continuous protection against harmful viruses or malware roaming in the cyberspace.

Business and Internet Security (Page 1 of 2)

Taking chances when it comes to Internet Security is never something to be taken lightly. Though some private and casual computer users will likely do so, business owners who make use of computers to store both business and customer data must consider security a top priority. Having run a business myself I can say with the utmost of confidence that not only must you have some sort of Computer Security set up for your PC’s but must also make use of reliable and dependable software. It is an all to common practice in business these days to cut corners in an attempt to save a buck and while I have seen several businesses cut expenses even in security applications to do so is simply folly.

When my partner and I began our business venture a couple of years ago the first thing we did after deciding to start the business was to begin with Security Research. Though we both involved ourselves with finding the very best security software I was tasked with the majority of the project. I was initially disappointed by all of the PC Security Software I had looked at as none seemed to deliver an all in one experience. Being an ample computer user and fairly tech savvy I didn’t want to treat my businesses network as I did my home network. Using several different antivirus applications to both eliminate and keep threats at bay wasn’t going to cut it in the business world. The program I needed had to bring everything to the table so that I would know I’m getting the best bang for my buck and that my business and its confidential information would remain safe.

I’ve heard all the horror stories of business being sued and/or shut down due to poor security measures taken by owners who feel penny pinching is the way to solve all problems. I was determined not to be that type of owner nor did I want my business to suffer the effects of that management style. After some exhaustive research and substandard results I felt it was time to consult with those that had gone down this road before me. I actually spoke with my former employer whom I was employed with prior to starting my businesses. She revealed that not only did they take PC Security seriously but that they also went with a company that they found through several internet searches. This company she had chosen and still uses to this day is known as eEye. eEye specializes in creating tools that will allow just about anyone to successfully remove threats from their computers and networks while at the same time keep those same threats out and away from their machines.

This information piqued my curiosity and so I began looking at eEye’s website and list of PC Security applications. As I was initially pleased with what I saw I began scouring the internet for opinions and reviews of the said programs. The majority of users said the same things my former employer did and they shared her opinions on the programs as well. After going over the results with my business partner we decided to invest in a couple of eEye’s products. We began with Blink® Professional Edition which would allow us to remove and keep all threats out of our computers and do it all in one program. Secondly we ended up with their Security Management Appliance 1505 which would further reduce our exposure to attacks, thus protecting our client and business data. Once things got set up both my partner and I couldn’t have been more pleased. Our network and individual PC’s have rum smoothly with little to no issues for close to two years. In addition to that, now that we are a much larger company than we were a few years ago we’ve taken on a small but effective IT staff of which the Director shares our tastes in Endpoint Security software so things continue to run as though we’ve never had any issues.
