Internet Security

From the Consumer Report National Research

The odds of becoming a cybervictim have dropped to 1 in 6, from 1 in 4 last year. 

American consumers lost almost $8.5 billion and replaced about 2.1 million computers because of viruses, spyware and e-mail scams over the last two years.  Many consumers are still complacent about online security.  19% don't have antivirus software, 36% don't have an antispyware program and 76% don't use an antiphishing toolbar.

If you think you might be vulnerable, call KinSafe for a checkup.  If you lose all your data it will be a major problem.  Be safe: call KinSafe.




Talk the talk

Adware is software that causes advertising to pop up on your computer display; it might run with or without your knowledge.

Badware is adware or spyware that tracks your online activities and provides that information to others without your knowledge.  

Malware is malicious software that includes viruses, spyware, worms and other types of harmful programs.

Spyware is software that's installed on your PC via downloaded programs, such as screen savers and utilities.  It transmits data to others about your online behavior.

A virus is typically a small, malicious program, often embedded in a download program or an e-mail attachment, that can infect other programs and replicate itself.

KinSafe knows the difference.  Call 502.253.9909 today for help.

When should I buy a new PC?

Switching PCs is a real pain.  All of your informatin is put at risk and you have to learn new software at the same time.  Most people will not switch until they lose everything.  The biggest risk of keeping an old PC in use is the lack of virus protection.  A big percentage of old machines have a virus.

Generally, replace you PC after four years of use or when the cost of a new machine is less then the repair of your old one.  Ask yourself what it would cost if you lost all of your data.   Upgrades make little sense when you consider the low cost of new machines and repairs are expensive because of the labor involved.  If you have a question about your PC, call KinSafe and ask for a PC evaluation. 




Whose job is it?

This is a story about four people named everybody, somebody, anybody and nobody. There was an important job to be done so everybody was sure somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it but nobody would do it. Anybody could have done it but nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was everybody's job. Everybody thought anybody could do it but nobody realized that everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that everybody blamed somebody when nobody did what anybody could have done. If this sounds like you IT repair situation call KinSafe (253 9909) and let David help.
