Is you antivirus program good enough?

Recent scans using a new technology indicate that security software may not be protecting your computer system as well as you might think.

Witness this increasingly common scenario. You have installed one of the more popular antivirus programs onto your computer or network. You've had the program on your system for some time now, and indications are that it is doing a decent job of protecting your system. Then, someone comes along and offers to scan your system to see whether or not you might be infected. Curious, you allow the scan. Lo and behold, you find that you have several Trojans and other hidden menaces residing on your network, actively stealing vital and confidential information.

The reality? All one need do is look at the recent headlines. Just last week, a national retail chain was broken into by cyber thieves. As a result, confidential information on some 45.7 million credit and debit cards was stolen.

What is most important to note about this theft and others like it is that these companies thought they were protected. Most of these companies are using what they thought was the best protection on the market. Unfortunately for them, they are finding out (too late) that the antivirus and security software they purchased isn't working.

The fact that most of the antivirus and security software that most companies buy isn’t really working against today’s new breed of super-secret Internet invaders is the dirty little secret in the industry. Companies know that their software isn’t doing a good job of protecting computer systems and they are not just not saying anything.

Can you afford to take that chance?

Please take a moment to find out for yourself whether or not you are protected. Go to http://echo3.bluehornet.com/ct/ct.php?t=1320638&c=1204784185&m=m&type=1&h=406686AAF614BD11C8C89916382C095A and perform a scan on your computer.
