One of the hazards of spending time online is malware (malicious software on your computer), or getting a virus on your computer. Nothing makes your heart sink like suddenly having big problems with your computer, and there's nothing you can do to fix it - except wipe the hard drive and start all over. I've had to do that a couple times, and I hated it. I still haven't figured out why these people do it. I mean, if they'd just spend a fraction of the energy and talent they have on something constructive instead of creating viruses and trouble, think what they could accomplish!
Regardless of what I think, internet viruses are going to continue to be a problem, and we are all going to have to protect ourselves. One of my favorite anti-virus products is Norton. I've tried other ones - because I got a good deal - but those other ones are the ones that let the stupid viruses through! There are several different Norton products to choose from. Two that just launched this September are the Norton 360 and the Norton Internet Security 2012. You can check out the Norton website to find out which product will best suit your needs. Products are available with licenses for 1 PC to 10 PCs. We usually get the ones for 3 PCs, but we have enough computers in the house that I'm thinking we could use some of the Norton Small Business by Symantec products that cover at least 5 PCs.
Speaking of small business, while anti-virus Internet protection is important for individuals, think of how much more important it is for businesses. Yes, I know our photos and other personal files are important to all of us, but for businesses it's all the little details that make the business run - personnel records, customer invoices, product orders, etc. A malicious attack on a business's computers can really cost! Better to be protected in the first place than have to scramble to fix the problems after the fact.
That protection doesn't have to cost a lot because you can get 30% off Norton Small Business Products now, making it the perfect time to get protected - before it's too late. Be sure to check out the Norton website to see which product(s) would be most beneficial to you and your needs and let me know what you think.
