Computer Repair Orlando-The infection in your Computer

July 22, 2012 - PRLog -- Secure your network and each individual machine with proper Anti-virus software. One of the most common mistakes small businesses make is to assume that their network is properly secured. The "You get what you pay for" adage applies here. Your server and each individual machine must have appropriate anti-virus software installed.

Make sure your wireless network is secure. Don't allow unauthorized users to access your internal network by keeping an open door you're your wireless network. Make sure your wireless network is password protected.

Email is the most common way of getting infected. Make a company policy that your employees are not to open any email or email attachment that is they don't know the source. Any email that they believe is from a trusted source but are not sure should be run through a Anti-virus checker.

Make sure that your employees know that they are not to select on any unknown links or flashing warnings. If you're not sure of whether the message is import, take a screen shot and send to your computer repair technician for verification.

Keep your system up to date. One of the most common mistakes that small businesses make is to think that they are fully protected by just installing anti-virus. It's not the case. Computer Viruses are like human viruses. They're constantly adapting, changing, and reinventing themselves, and they will come back. It's not matter of if. It's a matter of when. So make sure your anti-virus software is up to date and that your operating system is up to date. You should have your computer repair company verify your update routines at least once a quarter or once a month.

If your employees need to install new software or download new software, make sure they are using approved websites. It's better to lock down their machines so that they cannot install software that is not approved.
