Security issues for home=
users are just as real as security for business users, perhaps more so bec=
ause home users don't have the resources behind them to ensure proper secur=
ity. There is information on your computer that is worth protecting. How ab=
out the Credit Card number you typed into that letter when you ordered a ne=
w pair of shoes? We should all be looking at this time of year at the compu=
ters security. Antivirus: are we up-to-=
date? As you know we recommend the ‘Avast’ product as you antiv=
irus product, but has your licence expired, and have you renewed it? If not=
do it now. Firewalls: the windows i=
nbuilt firewall is getting better, but this is only any good if you are run=
ning Windows=
®=
Xp or above, what do you do if you are still running older versions of Win=
dows=
®=
, well the obvious answer would be to upgrade to a newer version but this =
may involve investing in a new computer. The firewall recommended up to thi=
s point was the ‘Sygate’ product but this has now been taken ov=
er by ‘Symantec’ and is now no longer available, we will keep y=
ou informed if we find a replacement. |
