Internet Security - Why - An Update

If you computer is running slow or acting oddly, then there is a good chance that it is infected with a computer virus.

This article from the BBC does a very good job of showing the how and the whys of botnets & spam droids

It is a fact of modern computing and the age of always on internet that it is essential to install internet security solutions on your computer, laptop, tablet or smart phone. Some operating systems such as Android and iOS are less vulnerable to viruses and malware but be assured that the criminals behind viruses and malware are working flat out to develop virus and malware to tap into the vastly lucrative iPOD, iPHONE, iMAC and Android markets.

The financial gains that can be made by a ‘successful’ virus or malware are vast and this is what drives their development so never doubt the motivation to develop nastier and more efficient items of malware because they are after your money, your identity and in most cases both!

As a computer engineers, we see the havoc that virus and malware cause on a daily basis and the misery when a client loses their data, music , photographs or has their identity or credit card compromised beyond the point of use.

If you think that your computer might have a virus infection, book it in for a Computer Health Check NOW!

We are often asked to recommend an anti virus or internet security solution which we do, BUT with the following caveat.

NO ANTI VIRUS OR INTERNET SECURITY CAN GUARANTEE 100% PROTECTION because it is re-active rather than pro-active.

We have removed viruses from behind nearly every anti-virus on the market including Norton, MacAfee, Kaspersky, AVG and Microsoft Security Essentials to name but a few.

However we use Bullguard Internet Security in the shop, on our computers and those of our family because we have found it to be the most cost effective and efficient at protecting computers especially from the social network infections that spread so quickly.
