Zuma Full Banner 4

It is important to note the threats that can embed into you computer without notice and getting the antivirus information based on your needs to protect your home business computers from them. Some antivirus software is free while others charge a yearly fee to use.

Making use of anitvirus software to protect our home based business computers and/or network is important. You don't want to lose all of your files or important resources you have, get hacked or even have your computers run slow because of malware. To avoid these threats, small or large, you need to protect your business resources with an antivirus software. Vista and Windows 7 does protect you BUT you can never be too sure. Why take the chance?

Antivirus (anit-virus) software helps protect your home business by stopping most malware that tries to get into your computer, and it also removes most malware that does manage to slip past the initial protection. Removing malware is a basic function of anti-virus programs, and most programs make the process as simple as possible.

Download or buy antivirus software here. Several of the manufactures have a free and premium version of their antivirus software available. The free versions often has restrictions such as a trial period and lack of real-time protection, but both will typically remove any malware that your business computer may have. Then just follow the instructions as the program guides you thru the proceedure.

AntiVirus Software Comparison for your Home Business Computers
Today's highly developed computer viruses require a heightened level of protection for your home or business. The latest generation of antivirus software is more effective than ever before. Most programs include email, file and web scanning, anti-spyware and 24/7 tech support.

If you want to avoid system slowdown of your business computers, anti-virus programs that have a good reputation include VIPRE, Kaspersky, Eset Nod32 (25% off), Zone Alarm (50% off). If cost is a consideration, AVG has a free version that protects against most, but not all, malware.

VIPRE offers free malware removal if a virus gets through its defenses and Kaspersky has hourly updates, assuring that you are well protected.

Malware Removal (malware) Information:
Malicious software can cause numerous problems with your computer including:
    - general instability
    - logging of your passwords
    - credit card information
    - programs running slowly or not working.
How to Make a Portable Antivirus for your Business
A portable anti-virus program is installed on a removable device, such as a flash drive or external hard drive, so wherever you go you have a virus program capable of scanning the system it is connected to. When using the portable anti-virus program you must have it ready-to-install on the drive (and not actually installed on the drive). This is because a program must have registry information on a computer before it is able to run on the system. If you initially install the program directly onto the hard drive it is not going to run on other computers, as the other systems do not have the registry information.
  1. Connect your USB flash drive or external hard drive to a USB port on your home business computer system.

  2. Open a Internet browser, then navigate to a website that offers antivirus downloads. You must use a program that is free, as pay versions offer only one license per download, making it illegal to install, and run it on multiple computers. See here for free antivirus business solutions.

  3. Once you have chosen a antivirus software and have gone to their website, click the download link on the program and a window appears, asking if you are sure you want to download the software. Click "Yes" and the anti-virus program downloads to your home computer.

  4. Click "Start," (My) Computer," then double click the removable device icon. This loads a window with all the files on the drive. Click-and-drag the downloaded anitvirus file into the open window, then close out the window, right-click the removable device icon and choose "Eject." Disconnect the drive from the computer once the icon has disappeared.

  5. Connect the drive to a different computer. Now open the removable device icon and double-click the downloaded antivirus program. This loads the installation wizard. Follow the prompts to install the program. You are now able to run the antivirus program on your computer. Repeat this task on any computer you want to scan with the portable antivirus software.
