Virus Protection
Don’t leave your business vulnerable to nasty
computer viruses. They’re a proven threat,
even to small businesses. And anti-virus
software is inexpensive compared to the havoc
a virus can unleash in your computer. Both of
the programs listed below sell online for
under $50. Many more options are available
depending upon how much or little you want to
spend.
Choosing and installing a solution is only
the first step toward protection. It’s just as
important to keep the virus software current.
You can regularly download updates from most
anti-virus makers. Many offer e-mail alerts when
they issue new virus updates. Pay attention to
keep your protection armed and ready.
