There are a large number of antivirus solutions available, some of which can provide a good level of protection at zero cost, others are only available as paid software, and there are some that can actually introduce the malware that users are trying to avoid!
I can guide you through this jungle, and show you how to protect yourself at a minimal (if not zero!) cost, and how to avoid the bad guys!
In addition to implementing antivirus protection, having a well thought-out backup strategy in place is absolutely vital. Even with antivirus software in place, users can be caught out by so-called "zero day" infections, many of which can contain "ransomware" that encrypts files and demands payment for a decryption key.
To protect your valuble data, photos, music collection, and business records, making (and regularly updating) backups is essential. I can evaluate your needs and advise you on the best and most cost-effective way that you can implement a system.
A well thought out and configured email system can be a delight to use, and form an essential pillar in your business management. In reality, many user struggle to set up their email, and have difficulty to even get the basic functionality to work!
