Anti-Virus Software Installation and Configuration

It is important to run an up-to-date virus scanner. We can install and configure an Antivirus software solution that will protect your PC. The software will automatically scan your files and e-mails to help you remain virus free. It will also update itself automatically to make sure it knows about the latest viruses.

Note, as a home user we can install a well known Anti virus software package that is free to use for Personal use!

Firewall Installation and Configuration

If your computers are connected to the Internet through a broadband or even a Dial-up connection, your confidential files could be at risk from Hackers around the world. We can help secure your systems by installing a Firewall. A Firewall makes it more difficult for your computers and files to be accessed by an unauthorised user or hacker.

For home users, there are a good selection of ‘Free to Use’ software Firewalls. We strongly recommend that you protect your computers with a Firewall if you connect it to the Internet.

Security Patch Installation

Microsoft continue to release software patches and security updates for Windows 2000, XP & Vista as new bugs and security holes are found. It is important to keep your Windows operating systems ‘Patched’ to keep your PC's running smoothly & secure from potential vulnerabilities. The patches are available from the Microsoft web site, or you can configure Automatic Updates in the Control Panel.

You can see the latest Microsoft Security Bulletins here.
