So you think your PC is secure
I know your PC is secure, locked down; your Windows updates are installed you run all the latest anti virus, anti spyware, anti this and anti that to protect yourself from the dreaded virus, spyware and malware attacks, oh; and you never surf to the places that "other people" go to and if your computer does happen to get there; it was someone else; that must have been on your computer. I know reality these days it not hard to land on that crap. News Flash; it doesn’t matter how much software you run on your PC or if you never end up at those sites (by accident or on purpose) - your still at risk. For us more tech savvy people we know this stuff and think we have nothing to worry about; well you haven’t had a drive by yet. The reality is, the general consumer has no idea whether or not they are properly protected and what they even need to do to secure their PC; to some extent even the tech savvy surfer is in the same boat. Over the next few months; I’ll hand pick some experiences our techs have had with our customers, (leaving names out of course) removing garbage off computers that were protected and try to show why PC users have a very false sense of protection and what we need to do about it; Looking forward to sharing and your comments
