3 reasons to upgrade your older systems
Enhance Security
Increase Productivity
Decrease Costs
"Good enough."
If that's how you characterize the older desktop and notebook PCs deployed throughout your infrastructure, those systems may be costing more than you think. When you factor in security risks, high maintenance costs and reduced productivity, refreshing your aging PC base could actually save you time and money—important business goals in any economic climate.
Even in times of tight budgets, replacing your desktop PCs every three years and notebook systems every two years can simplify management, reduce security risk, and meet business demands for increased productivity.
It's a sound investment that pays immediate—and potentially significant—dividends across your enterprise.
PC clients are an important link in the security chain—and security incidents are increasing at an alarming rate.
Enhance Security
Powerful client PCs based on the latest Intel processors enable multitasking performance, allowing your business to run continuous virus scanning and file encryption programs in the background with minimal end-user disruption.
Migration to newer operating systems supports stronger security, including added VPN for tunneling, support for Kerberos authentication, and built-in smart card support for more defensible authentication and authorization.
Learn how upgrading can enhance security.
Increased demand on client foreground and background processing means more waiting and less working. But new PCs can provide the performance users need to become more productive than ever.
In summer 2002, Intel's Information Technology division—using a cross-section of Intel employees—compared user productivity on an Intel® Pentium® III processor system bundle running Microsoft Windows* 2000 and Microsoft* Office 2000 with that of an Intel® Pentium® 4 processor system bundle running Microsoft Windows* XP and Microsoft* Office XP. Their conclusion?
Increase Productivity
In addition to outstanding performance, Hyper-Threading Technology**, available for the desktop with the Intel Pentium 4 processor 2.4 GHz and higher, enables simultaneous processing of two sets of tasks—producing performance gains of up to 25 percent.
1 And this is significant, given the trend toward PC-based, productivity-driven usage models such as XML processing, online collaboration, and e-learning.
Learn how upgrading can increase productivity.
Reduce Costs
Aging PCs running older operating systems and applications often cost more to own and manage than newer platforms. Migrating to new client PC platforms and operating systems produces measurable cost savings, reduces environmental complexity, and helps companies avoid future large-scale upgrades. A 2003 META Group study reports that companies migrating to Windows 2000 or Windows XP experienced up to a "50 percent reduction in OS-related help desk calls, increased end-user satisfaction, and 10 percent or better reduction in operational costs…(and reduction of) image management costs by 50 percent or better."
2 In addition to cost savings, regular PC refresh reduces the number of images across the environment and a stable platform means fewer prequalification.
Learn how upgrading can reduce costs.
Deciding to replace aging desktop systems with new notebook PCs can bring additional productivity benefits to many businesses
And in a recent survey, 92 percent of large businesses reported definite economic benefits from their WLAN implementations, with the average time to fully pay back initial installation costs at just under nine months.
3 With cost savings, security enhancements and increased productivity, it's no surprise that notebook system sales are expected to grow at a 19 percent cumulative annual growth rate through 2005,
4 and by 2006, 66 percent of U.S. workers will be classified as mobile workers.
5 Refresh with notebook PCs now and stay ahead of the curve

Why Do We Need Internet Security ?
A number of the useful programs contain features with hidden malicious intent. The following are some of the programs:
• Malware is the general term used for any malicious software designed. It is commonly used to damage or infiltrate a computer program or any other programmable device and system such as the home or office computer system, networks, mobile phone, PDA, automated device, robots, or any other devices that are sufficiently complex.
• Viruses are programs that enable to replicate their own structure or effect by incorporating itself to the existing files or structures on a penetrated computer. Moreover, it usually contains a malicious or humorous payload designed to threaten or alter the actions or data of the host system or device without consent. The common example of it is by deleting or corrupting the information from its owner.
• Trojan Horse or Trojan are programs that are stealing information, altering it or causing difficult problems on the computer or other programmable system or device by just pretending to do nothing.
• Spyware are programs that secretly keep an eye on the keystrokes or any other activity on the computer system and report the information to others without consent.
• Worms are programs that replicate itself on an extensive computer network. Thus, it also performs some malicious acts that can eventually affect the whole system of the economy.
• Bots are programs that use the resource of a computer system by taking over it in a network without consent, and transmit that information to others who controls the Bots.

Why You Should NOT use FREE ANTIVIRUS

Recently there have been a few viruses I’ve cleaned that were very difficult to remove. In a few cases, we’ve had to back up the client data and reinstall the Operating System and Programs (and everything else) from scratch to make sure it was cleaned.

On all these computers, they had “Free” Antivirus software. Name one, they are all the same.

These free antivirus programs offer very minimal protection, and often won’t even know if you’ve been hacked for days, weeks, months or years.

(Spoiler Alert)

Free Antivirus serves one purpose – to get your foot in the door so you can buy their PRO version. That’s it! The real protection is in the paid product, not the free.

When evaluating paid Antivirus software, you should consider who is the industry leader. Norton was for awhile, but not so much now. Recently, the industry leader in Antivirus “Kaspersky Labs” uncovered a highly sophisticated virus Flame.

Right now, it seems the best protection you can get it with Kaspersky, with Norton and the others all a step behind

The Kaspersky software you should look includes Internet Security and Pure 2.0. Pure 2.0 has some extra goodies, like a free encrypted storage container on your computer (don’t forget the password you set!) and a built in backup component (have not tried it).

But lose the “free” antivirus. Because the tech support you’ll have to pay for when a virus devastates your computer will certainly not be “free”!

How to Know if Your Computer is Infected with a Virus

We all know computer viruses -- and other kinds of malware -- can cause problems ranging from irritating to catastrophic. Some malware replicates itself until it fills up all available space on your hard drive, turning your computer into a brick. Other kinds corrupt data on your machine or make your computer unstable.

A few will even attempt to use your e-mail programs to distribute the malicious code to everyone in your contacts list. And there's always the possibility a cracker -- that's a malicious hacker -- will use malware to get remote access to your computer.

No one wants to own a computer infected with a nasty virus. That's why it's very important to practice safe computing habits and to install reliable anti-virus software. You can avoid most malware just by paying attention and staying away from a few common traps. If your anti-virus software is up to date, you should be in pretty good shape.

But once in a while, computer viruses get beyond our defenses. Maybe our anti-virus software is out of date or has been compromised by a particularly clever bit of code.

Perhaps we clicked on a link by accident and activated a virus. Or someone else used our computer and downloaded some malware by mistake.

How do you know if your computer has been hit by a computer virus? If your anti-virus software is robust and up to date, you'll likely receive a message as the application scans your computer.

That makes detecting the virus a breeze. But what if your software is out of date or the virus has managed to deactivate the anti-virus program? Are there signs you can watch out for that might indicate a virus?
As a matter of fact, there are several signs that could indicate the presence of malware on your computer.

Signs of a Computer Virus

Assuming your anti-virus software hasn't alerted you to the presence of a virus, here are some indicators of malware on your computer:
If your computer has become unstable, that's a sign that something's wrong. Some malware messes with important files that keep your computer running properly. That could cause your computer to crash. If your computer crashes when you try to run a specific application or open a particular file that tells you that something has corrupted the data. It could be malware.

Does your computer seem to run much more slowly than it used to? This could be the result of malware as the malicious code begins to drain your computer's processing resources. If you aren't running a resource-heavy application but your computer is very slow, you might have a computer virus.

Strange messages indicating that you can't access certain drives on your computer are another sign that something is wrong. In a similar vein, applications that won't run or files that won't open May also be the result of infection. Other indicators include hardware (like printers) that no longer responds to any commands. While none of these guarantee the presence of a virus, they do suggest that something is wrong with your machine.

If you notice that file sizes are fluctuating even if you aren't accessing those files, that's another sign of a computer virus. And finally, if you access menus and their appearance is odd or distorted, you could be the victim of a malware attack.

It's important to remember that computer viruses are one potential cause of problems like the ones we've listed here, but that they aren't the only cause. If you believe your computer has been infected by a virus, don't panic.

FALSE ALARMS
While surfing the Web, you might encounter alarming pop-up messages claiming a virus has been found on your computer and that you should download software to get rid of it.
Be careful! These messages are often scams that trick you into downloading software that can hurt your computer or spy on you. If the message didn't come from your own anti-virus or anti-spyware applications, don't trust it!
