PREVENTING VIRUSES, WORMS, SPYWARE & SPAM

The internet is an amazing place that allows each and every one of us easy access to a wide variety of resources. Unfortunately, there is an increasing amount of viruses, worms, spyware and spam that can easily infect your computer. Your computer in fact may already be infected and you may not even know it.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PREVENTING DATA LOSS

Data loss itself can come in a variety of forms. A virus can infect your network deleting documents throughout the company. An employee might maliciously delete sensitive documents. An important document might be accidentally overwritten by using the same filename. An electrical outage might cause your server to crash and damage the hard drive storing all company data. The company database might become corrupted. There are a very wide variety of potential technical disasters just waiting to happen.

SAVE MONEY WITH A DOMAIN ENVIRONMENT

We routinely encounter businesses that have setup their networks in a “peer to peer” or “workgroup” configuration as opposed to establishing a domain. A peer to peer network is a configuration that was made popular in 1992 with the release of Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11. Peer to peer networks were easy to setup and required only a basic knowledge of computer networking. In Windows XP, this technology is often referred to as “File & Printer Sharing.” Many businesses forego the cost of establishing a domain due to their belief that a peer to peer network is quicker and therefore cheaper to setup. However as we will demonstrate in this article, establishing a domain provides your business with a complete business solution that will serve your needs now and into the future.

In business today your company’s computer network is the vital backbone to your day to day workflow. When you open Word or Excel and access a document – when you open Outlook to read your email – when you print – when you browse the internet, you are most likely traversing your company’s internal computer network. With advances in technology, software and hardware devices that were once difficult to configure have now been greatly simplified. It is not terribly difficult to build a computer network. It does however take knowledge and experience to build a computer network that meets your needs. This can be a time consuming and ultimately expensive process. There are a wide variety of technological solutions in the marketplace, but frankly not all of them work.
