I spend a lot of time on the computer. Whether I’m drafting blog posts, utilizing social media to network with friends, or working at my day job, I’m staring at a monitor all day long. To say that the internet is a big part of my life would be an understatement. So just like anything else that’s important in life, it’s a priority for me to protect it.
Norton Internet Security lets you email, chat, and browse the internet without worrying constantly about virus or malware attacks. Instead of having to guess whether or not a website is safe before going to it, Norton Internet Security will let you know if the site isn’t safe, so you don’t have to make the wrong guess & find out the hard way.
This is great for anyone, but it’s especially great for small business owners. I work for a small business, and have seen firsthand what it truly costs a company when they go down due to a virus. In the four months that I’ve been back on the job, this has not happened one time, because we now have the brand new Norton 360 {which just launched in September, along with Norton Internet Security 2012} on our computers. However, back when I worked there two years ago, it was a fairly regular occurrence.
Sometimes the attacks would happen due to a particular coworker browsing questionable material. Most of the time, however, we had no idea why or how we had gotten a virus, but it didn’t matter either way: the cost was still the same. For a business, time is money. So while it did cost the company money to hire a computer support guy to come out & remove the virus and restore the computer {and those guys are NOT cheap!}, it cost much more than money: it cost a LOT of time. They had to pay the employees who were sitting around doing nothing, waiting for the computer to be fixed- and they had to pay us to stay late and finish the job once the computers were back up & running. We couldn’t process any orders while the computers were down, and almost lost a really big order {I’m talking thousands of dollars} because we couldn’t get an invoice made before their receiving department closed.
I’ve had problems with the internet at home, too. Before I had anti-virus software on my computer, I managed to get a virus on the same day that a big project was due for my online class, and since I couldn’t get my computer back up & running in time, I got a big F on the project. I’m still bitter.
