Firewall

As there is an increase in digital subscriber line (DSL), cable modems, and T1 lines, more computers are constantly connected to the Internet. Consider setting up a firewall to prevent intruders from breaking into your computer. We offer inexpensive firewalls for your home office and stronger firewalls for your business.

Virus Protection

Computer viruses are another wide spread problem. They spread easily through floppy disks, email, or by programs downloaded from the Internet. They can cause problems ranging from reformatting your hard drive to changing data. Once created, viruses spread without help from their creators. You can get them from people at the office, using computers at school, or in a document emailed to you by a friend.

Prevention

The best way to secure your computer is to prevent intruders from attacking your system in the first place. To do this, install current patches for your operating system and your applications. Beyond patches, be aware of the types of attacks and vulnerabilities used by intruders, install only the applications you really need, and back up your data regularly.
