The Common-Sense Approach to Safe Computing
by: Dave Eltringham
In the past couple of months, it seems we have been doing battle with viruses and malware more than we did in all of 2008. Viruses and malware not only stop you from being as productive as you should be, but could also potentially expose you to identity theft, entice you to buy things that you don’t want or need and could spread to other computers on your network and cripple your whole business.
Does it take sophisticated software and hardware appliances to keep these things at bay? It certainly makes it easier, but the most effective deterrent is to not invite them in to begin with. With a little common sense, you can prevent a lot of bad things from happening. Read Dave's suggestions for safe computing here.
