File Sharing & Virus Protection

If you have established any type of home business, you may let your computer do most of the heavy lifting for you. If you really value your business and file sharing (which you will do often as a VA), then you now need a complete computer security program. McAfee is synonymous with computer security. They have been around since we had the Internet, and there may be more. Your Managed VirusScan Plus AntiSpyware performs automatic and silent updates to all important files on your computer, and actively blocks any content that may harm your computer. This is the key first step in protecting yourself. If you want to further strengthen your computer's protection against worms, viruses and other malicious computer code hosts, please purchase a Linksys EtherFast Cable / DSL firewall router. It is very easy to set up and block Java, ActiveX, cookies, and anything else that might attack or take over your computer and its files. For complete security, it is always recommended to back up all files (and client files) after running an antivirus program. We do this at the end of each day. In this way, if your files are re-infected, you will not risk losing important information. We like our SanDisk Cruzer Micro 2GB flash drive. They contain a large number of files and download extremely fast. Who knew that such a small package could provide strong protection? In order to be completely protected from computer viruses, you need a backup plan. After all, when you inadvertently send the virus along with the bill to them, most customers just won't "receive it." Norton Ghost is a must-have program. It makes data backup and recovery a breeze by automatically performing all scans when you turn off your computer at night. Norton Ghost can also quickly and quietly protect you from system failures, which will greatly help build lasting and productive relationships with your customers. In addition, you will sleep better at night because you and your computer are safe and sound.
