During the past year or so, we have received many calls regarding Viruses. Viruses are a threat to all computers whether you have a Server, Workstation or home PC.

With over 60,000 known viruses it is likely that without proper protection your computer will at some point become infected. The problem with a virus is that without proper protection there is no way to know whether or not you are infected. In fact most computer viruses are non-threatening and will go undetected for months. Also, viruses tend to “slip by” any given antivirus program at some time or another.

Protect yourself. Using virus protection software is one of the most worthwhile investments you’ll put towards your PC. It can not only protect you from invasion of privacy but could also help prevent a complete loss of data. For a minimal fee you can keep your computer virus free and avoid potentially spending hundreds of dollars to repair a system destroyed by a simple virus. Remember to always update your virus software. Every month over 2,000 new viruses are born, and without new updates to your software your system is susceptible to infection.
