COMPUTER PROTECTION
There are a number of excellent products on the market to aid in prevention of viruses, spyware and email spam, including firewall programs
that are very important in protecting a computer connected to the Internet.
If you access the Internet from your office, then your network staff may already have the proper applications installed
for your protection. You will want to check with them first before installing any new software applications.
If you access the Internet from home, and you do not have ample protection against these problems, then you may want to
check with your computer software supplier or local computer store.
Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are now offering bundled services to help protect you
from all or some of these problems. You will first want to see what they might offer. It is also possible that the solution they
provide may be inadequate where you may need to find a solution on your own.
A solution that may work for one person may not work well for another due to computer setup and other configurations on a
given computer, such as age of the computer and operating system. An example of a problem is that an installed application may
significantly slow down a computer. This is typically due to the software program running in the background to monitor the
system and using too many system resources. So, you will want to monitor your system performance after installing any type of new
software program as you may have to uninstall it and find a different program. Be sure to check the computer system requirements
for any software program against your computer (i.e. IBM-compatible versus Macintosh, processor, memory, available hard drive
storage space, operating system, etc.).
As you check with your computer software supplier or local computer store, you will find software programs that address single problem
areas such as only viruses, or spyware, or email spam or provide firewall protection. You will also see bundled software programs
that address all or most of the issues related to protecting a computer. They often refer to these packages as "Internet Security Suite."
Lastly, after your first year of using the software has passed, be prepared to pay a yearly subscription fee for any of these software
applications. Besides receiving updates to the software application itself, the fee pays for updates to things such as new found viruses
(often called virus definitions update) and spyware. Additionally, most of these software programs will automatically update on a daily
or weekly basis so your computer will be properly protected.
