Free Antivirus Software 8/19/2010
There are a number of free antivirus products available on the Internet. Most are scaled down versions of full-feature products that are sold to businesses. I have tried a handful over the years and one product has stood out from the rest, avast! Free Antivirus.

Businesses often require a more robust antivirus product which can be centrally managed but free versions can be ideal for home users. In fact, I have personally used avast! Free Antivirus for the last five years on every one of my home computers. In my opinion, it is a better product than software that is sold to the homeowner from big name companies such as Norton. The only requirement is that you must register the product annually which takes about 30 seconds once a year. There is an anti-spyware component to help guard against spyware too.

They even offer free phone support, (877) 877-9362, though I must admit that I’ve never had to use it. It works on Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Vista & 7 (both 32/64 bit systems).

Word of Mouth 2/1/2010
I really do appreciate the referrals lately. I've always believed word-of-mouth advertising to be the best way to reach new clients. In fact, I don't advertise any other way except for the occasional flyer. I pass the savings along to you in the form of lower rates so it is truly a win-win deal for both my clients and me. Thank you for passing the word!!!
 
From Russia with Love.... 11/28/2009
A recent Trend Micro investigation into a sudden spike in BREDOLAB activity has unearthed a Russian cybercriminal ecosystem. BREDOLAB is developed and sold to fake AV vending partners who use it to infect as many victims as possible, and earn money for the group on a pay-per-install and credential-stealing basis.
