Anti-virus

The effects a virus can have upon your computer equipment is well known, and the majority of people surfing the web have some form of anti-virus defence. However this software is not always kept up to date for a number of reasons such as cost, speed of internet connection, time or possibly the sheer thrill of surfing dangerously.

There a number of steps to minimising your risk:-

• Good quality anti-virus software which is always active and updated at least week
• Only opening email which is from a recognisable source
• Externally virus scanned email which has been verified to be virus free by your email provider.

If your service provider does not check your email for viruses Spychecker can help. For a small fee we will collect your email, check it for viruses and deliver it into a spychecker mailbox ready for collection at your convenience.

Please remember that is it not necessary to purchase an anti-virus packages from one of the leading names, as there are lots of companies which offer excellent free anti-virus packages (as long as they are not used for commercial use), recommendations for which can be found here.
