PC & Email Security
Ensuring that you have sufficient and effective security
measures employed on your home or business computers (PC or
Laptop) to safeguard yourself from hoax emails, viruses, trojans,
spayware, adware, malware etc is as important as ensuring your
money is lodged within a secure bank or building society.
Responsibility rests first and last with each business and/or
person.
Whilst responsible hosting companies will always
maintain a high level of security for their servers and the
stored content, failing to do the same on your own devices is,
quite honestly, leaving your self wide-open to attacks that may
destroy your website, email respectability or even the device
itself.
Here are some tools to help you.
