In the realm of personal computers, there are a host of items necessary
to maintain the health of your machine. Among the most prominent item
is virus protection software. The virus software that comes with most
computers is outdated before the computer is even out of the box. So, it
is extremely important that individuals using personal computers regularly
check their machines with the most recent version of a proven anti-virus
program (ie. reliable virus software programs are constantly updated ).
Viruses can completely scramble and damage existing files on your computers'
hard drive, to the point that these files are lost forever. Can you imagine
recreating months or years of data? A daunting and nearly impossible task.
From our experience, viruses are contracted via floppy disk. As a service
provider we have not encountered a virus being contracted over the internet.
All known internet transferred viruses have been through specific
application file like a Word Document. Care should be taken with files
that "a friend" has emailed. As long as you download material
from a reputable website, you should not encounter internet viruses.
If you would like a copy of proven anti-virus software, you can download
the latest shareware version of F-Prot.
