Antivirus and Firewall comments
We use AVG for antivirus and let windows manage the firewall. When things get sticky we run Spybot Search and Destroy as well as Ad-aware to clean spyware from our machines.
We highly recommend AVG. For home users the free edition is excellent. Small business customers need to purchase a copy for each computer. AVG uses fewer resources which helps to keep your computer running as fast as possible. Other antivirus programs will work well too - but we recommend AVG when you need to renew.
We let Windows manage your firewall. We have yet to have any issues with this.
You can find links to the above downloads on our website www.bartelconsulting.com

Data Backup
I recieve calls every week from people who have hard drive problems. The cost to retrieve your data will range from $100 - $1500 depending on the severity of the problem. Most of the problems with data loss would not be a factor if you had backed up your computer every night via a scheduled back up and external hard drive.
