Protect Your PC

Sometimes, part of the best defense is a good offense!

Help keep your personal computer in top shape to guard against viruses and other threats by taking advantage of:

Anti-Virus Software:
Make sure your PC has the most current updates from your anti-virus software provider. Most providers can and will notify you when updates are available.

Some of the industry leading anti-virus software providers are:
- Norton AntiVirus^TM - www.symantecstore.com
- McAfee Virus Scan - www.mcafeestore.com
- Trend Micro Office Scan - www.trendmicro.com
Free online anti-virus scanners include:
- Norton - www.symantec.com/securitycheck
- McAfee - www.mcafee.com/default.asp
- Trend Micro - www.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp

Operating System Updates:
Making sure your PC has the most current patches and updates goes hand-in-hand with updating your anti-virus software.
Personal Firewalls:
A personal firewall is particularly important if your PC has an "always on" connection to the Internet (broadband or cable modem for example).
More information about firewalls can be found at http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1750 .
