Keep Your PC Safe

Viruses seem to becoming thick and fast recently, worse than the diseases they were named after!

The people who write these are getting more and more sophisticated as they develop more ways to get round a PC’s anti-virus prgram.

These malicious programs, which probably started life as playful code have evolved into rather potent tools capable of making even the most advanced IT infrastructure hidden behind hardware firewalls grind to a halt.

This is why it is imperative to make sure your antivirus is always up to data because as new viruses are found the antivirus vendors are updating the software to ensure there software can detect this malevolent code.

Unfortunately though to really secure your home or business pc from attack and to reduce the vulnerability of your system it is advisable that you also make sure you have other software installed that can detect malware for example Malwarebytes, as the effects of this can be as if not more devastating than a simple virus, and can in certain circumstances leave your PC open to hacking or even digital theft and identity theft.

If you do keep passwords and sensitive documents on your computer you should always password protect the files using standard functionality that is built into most office software suites
