PC Security
The Internet - The New "Wild West"?
Not a week goes by these days before some lunatic writes another virus or security loophole and sends it out onto the Internet to wreak havoc on our PC's. These days, it's absolutely essential to have an up-to-date Anti-Virus and firewall solution on your Computer - but which one? There are so many out there. Luckily, we have experience in looking after security on Corporate networks and are well equipped to advise for the needs of the small business or home user.
Defending Against Virus Threats
We can advise on the best automated Anti-Virus solution that updates itself automatically - especially useful where there's a network in place and you need to keep all of your PC's protected automatically. For standalone PC's with always-on Broadband, we can advise all-in-one products to protect your PC or a mixture of different solutions.
Keeping The Hackers Out
Whether you dial-up or have a permanent connection to the Internet, you need a Firewall. Windows XP has a built in firewall - but it does have its limitations. We can advise on extra solutions to keep the nasties out. If you have network or want to simply share an Internet connection between 2 PC's, then you need to consider how you are going to secure your Internet connected computers. Whether it's one PC or a whole network, we can advise, install and tweak.
Keeping Your Data Safe
How many of us backup our important data? Not as many as should be! Many people don't know how to backup or restore their data, so never get around to implementing a solution. If this is you, then give us a call! "It'll never happen to me" is no excuse these days, with the advent of DVD writers. Talk to us before it's too late!
"I think I have a virus - HELP!"
If you suspect your computer may be infected, don't hesitate to get in touch. In the event of a suspected infection, we will normally have to remove your PC to our workshops for cleaning. We have seen PC's infected with Spyware and Porn Diallers that have never intentionally been to an adult site, yet have been "hijacked" every time they connect to the Internet and get automatically directed to a "hot wives" site or similar. If this is you, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We offer a discreet service and can in most cases, clean and restore your PC to its former self.
