This is the
type of window all of us dread, you can be
left wondering if there is in fact a problem
with a program you have been running or is
it something more serious ?

A Virus Scanner is not
internet security !
No matter how a
home/office computer is connected to the Internet,
intruders’ attacks are often successful. Many
home/office computer owners don’t realize that they
need to pay attention to computer security. In the
same way that you are responsible for having
insurance when you drive a car, you need to also be
responsible for your home/office computer’s
security. This document explains how some parts of
the Internet work and then describes tasks you can
do to improve the security of your home/office
computer system. The goal is to keep intruders and
their programs off your computer.
How do intruders break
into your computer? In some cases, they send you
email with a virus. Reading that email activates the
virus, creating an opening that intruders use to
enter or access your computer. In other cases, they
take advantage of a flaw or weakness in one of your
computer’s programs – a vulnerability – to gain
access.
Once they’re on your
computer, they often install new programs that let
them continue to use your computer – even after you
plug the holes they used to get onto your computer
in the first place. These backdoors are usually
cleverly disguised so that they blend in with the
other programs running on your computer.
In an office
environment users can change settings they should
not have access too, NiC can lock down all PC's
allowing users access to only the programs they are
allowed to access thus minimizing down time due to
mistakes.
NiC will install a
Firewall, Antivirus software and Adaware three free
software applications that will help protect and
maintain your computers security.
