What Everybody Ought to Know: Why You Need a Comprehensive Security Service Package

The Internet-based attacks on your personal privacy and security continue to worsen year after year. The future of Internet security is gloomy and it takes an extremely dedicated and savvy computer user to find the right mix of security programs and stay current with the newest threats. Internet security is not a one-time event. You cannot simply install security software on your PC and then forget about its safety and security, and ultimately, the safety and security of your family, home, and business. Internet safety and security require an ongoing, time-intensive process with a fairly high level of expertise and vigilance.

Why you need a team of security experts on your side:

Do you want to be an Internet security expert? If you are like most people, you neither want to nor have the time. You don’t want to worry about staying current with the latest technologies. You can’t possibly keep up with the all the new threats coming at you almost daily because you have better things to do with your time. Instead, most people end up relying on the opinions and recommendations of more knowledgeable friends and family members for their security needs and hope nothing bad happens. But is that the best and safest strategy?

To get maximum protection for your PC, you need an Internet security expert on your side. Better yet, you need a team of experts making sure that you, your family, and your business are always safe and secure. You need to find your own personal team of experts to rely on. If you ever have a security problem, you want a trusted expert you can call for professional answers and solutions without any hassles and extra costs! As time goes on, it will become even more critical than it is today.

The best protection you can have in today’s rapidly changing world of cyber-attacks is to have expert support for all your Internet security needs. Hackers will likely always be one step ahead of law enforcement and the security industry itself. Software-based protection alone, as you can see, is not enough anymore.

Of all the Internet users who have anti-virus software on their computers, 85% of them had computers that were subsequently infected with a virus or worm! Have you ever had a virus you couldn’t get rid of? Has your computer acted funny or has it slowed way down due to a massive spyware infestation? Then you see and know how dangerous and damaging these threats and risks are!

Unfortunately, for consumers seeking security and privacy protection with brand name solutions will find two extremes – complex systems they cannot afford or properly maintain, or consumer-grade technology that doesn’t provide adequate protection. If they do find something that fits their budget, it will likely have only a part of what is needed to truly protect a computer, and it won’t include free expert support and a security guarantee.

Caution: Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security thinking that the anti-virus software that came with your computer is enough protection. Off-the-shelf anti-virus software does not always protect you from attacks such as: hackers, spyware, remote access tools, Trojan horses, password crackers, keystroke loggers, identity theft tools, Microsoft security holes, hybrid viruses, and others much worst. And most people let their anti-virus program expire, thereby losing protection from everyday viruses and worms.

Remember: When you say “No!” to hackers and spyware, everyone wins! When you don’t, we all lose.

What Everybody Ought to Know: It’s No Longer Enough to Install Off-the-shelf Security Software

Think about this: You had problems with your computer in the past. Now you want to insure that those little annoying nuisance, pests, threats, and risks from hackers and spyware don’t hide in your computer any more. So, you load up your computer with all the free and off-the-shelf security software you can find. Now, as your confidence rises, you think that your computer is as impenetrable as the gold at Fort Knox.

Wrong!!!! You have been fooled into thinking that your computer is fully protected.

Now think about this: With all the options available to you, how do you know which one offers the best protection for you, your family, or your business? Here are some questions you need to consider:
  • Are you a trained computer and Internet security expert?

  • Do you know exactly which security software is compatible with your system?

  • Do you have the time to continually research all the latest security technologies?

  • Do you know exactly which software you should install and which ones should not?
  • Once installed, how do you keep the different software programs updated? In fact, how often are they updated: daily? weekly? biweekly? monthly? Are the updates free. And if so, for how long?

  • If you encountered a problem that your installed security software could not fix, or you simply had a question, would you have access to free, live technical support?

  • If not, what would it cost you? Would it be a one-time fee? Would it come with a warranty period? And what would it cost you when the warranty expires?
By now, I’m hoping that you’re beginning to see why it is not enough any longer to install off-the-shelf security software. There is a better option! You need a revolutionary full security service package that gives you peace of mind because its software programs work together, its technical support is always live and free, and at no additional cost.

Remember: When you say “No!” to hackers and spyware, everyone wins! When you don’t, we all lose.

Taking Your Computer to the Store is So Yesterday

By Joel Harrison
INVISUS Senior Technology Analyst

There’s nothing worse than having to get down behind your desk, memorize where all the wires go, and hope you can get them all back where they belong.

Except maybe paying too much for the repair once you get it to the store.

It’s time you stopped lugging your computer around town trying to find someone to fix it and take advantage of the latest software and services that lets the technician come to you – remotely.

With the advances in technology and the tools that are available, taking your computer to the shop is becoming a thing of the past. A technician can repair the majority of your computer problems without you leaving your house or them entering.

Remote help is taking over the support industry. And with the right support team caring for your computers, you don’t need to worry about a thing. They can do everything for you.

Sure, having to take your computer to the tech shop may still be warranted in some rare occasions, but you should always call for remote support first to see if they can get you up and running.

With just a phone call and a couple of clicks of the mouse, a technician can be connected to your computer to diagnose and repair errors and even clean off all the viruses and spyware.

Just sit back, relax, go get some dinner, and let the [INVISUS] technicians do everything for you. Ah, the beauty of remote support.



Note: Whether your computer is at your home, church, or small business, you owe it to yourself, your family, congregation, customers, and employees to ensure that it is safe and secured from hackers and cybercriminal attacks.

Thus, I encourage you to test your PC right now by clicking on the test button in the upper, right column. After you've tested it, why not also take a moment to see if your small business is PCI compliant?
