Why do we need anti-virus software?

(This is DEFINITELY the 'disturbing the comfortable' part!) Your computer is vulnerable to virus and/or hacking EVERY TIME you connect to the outside world. If you have a network, every computer on the network is vulnerable. Anti-virus and firewall software is essential to limit this vulnerability. We can help you determine what software best suits your needs and risks.

How do I know my protection is working?

Well, you'll certainly know if it ISN'T! An antivirus that isn't up-to-date is a useful as having absolutely no protection at all - in other words, useless. Your antivirus software includes a subscription that allows you to update the 'virus signature file'. Take advantage of this service! You paid for anywhere from 3 months to one year with your initial purchase. When your subscription expires, make sure you renew to ensure your protection continues.
