With more and more households upgrading to broadband there is now a bigger need for security. Allot of people are unaware of how their computers are set up, wither they have a firewall installed, or if they have, is it set up properly or how is it configured? Also, there is an awful lot of confusion over spyware (small programmes secretly put on your machine). A recent report stated around two thirds of home PCs are infected which will slow your machine down and compromise your security.


Another common concern is what virus protection to use, how to set it up and how does it work? Some free antivirus programmes work superbly but using the wrong one will make it worse!


I can offer advice on what programmes to use, the best free ones for your surfing habits and set up your PC to give the best possible protection. I can also advise you on spyware protection and removal


I spend hours every week surfing security newsletters, newsgroups and websites making sure I am always up to date on the latest threats. Even if you have security I can quickly examine your computer and check if it's adequate or not.
