Desktop Protection
An important part of keeping control of your PC and your information safe is the use of powerful Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware tools. The popular misconception is that they are the same. They aren't and they shouldn't be. While some products may detect spyware and viruses, using one solution is putting all your eggs in one basket. Care to risk your electronic tax return, your credit card numbers, your bank records or your child's personal information on one solution?

Backup and Disk Imaging solutions
Online Backup Solutions
Some of the options that are available are local and secure-remote backups. A local backup is generally that is physically attached to a computer and is scheduled or activated by the user. It tends to be faster but does not protect against damage done near the computer (fire, flood, or failure of the device itself). A remote solution backs up file over the network (or internet) to a secured location and takes place at a scheduled time, when the computer is not in use, or manually activated. Some options include version tracking so you can revert back to a previous version of the file.
