Barely a day goes by without a new computer security threat hitting the headlines, and so it’s not surprising that many people have compromised PCs. While dedicated security suites are a must these days, even the companies that develop these products will tell you that they can’t guarantee to keep your PC safe from malware, given that many of the latest attacks target human error.

So what can you do? Basic precautions are the first essential step

Services for Business

Firewall:

A firewall is an essential piece of software that prevents unauthorized access to your computer via the internet. It is you first line of defence against malware & viruses. Only install one firewall as more than one may cause conflicts and slow down your system drastically. Windows XP (SP2 onwards) and Vista include an integrated firewall but I wouldn't rely on it. It doesn't block everything that may try to get in, and the entire firewall is written to the registry, which makes it easy for malware to disable It's far preferable to install one of the excellent third party solutions.

Anti-virus:

An essential tool designed to identify and eliminate viruses and other malicious software. Only install one anti-virus as more than one may cause conflicts and slow down your system drastically

Keep the firewall and anti-virus updated; make sure you install all the windows updates too/

If you are unlucky enough to get caught by a virus or spyware...
