Protecting yourself when you’re out with your laptop, Blackberry, etc. It’s the Third Point of PC Protection.
Today, we’re always on the go. For business and pleasure. And millions of us take a laptop, Blackberry or another wireless device with us. To airports, hotels, coffee shops, or just out onto our back patio. Once there, it’s easy to focus on writing an email, sending a business presentation, paying a few bills, or buying a hot outfit with one click and a credit card number. So easy in fact that we often forget there are cyber-crooks lying in wait everywhere. Maybe just three seats away at your airport gate, four tables over in your local coffee shop, or just a block away from your own home. And make no mistake. Hackers live to snatch your credit card numbers, sell your presentation to your competitors, or steal every penny in your bank account. The unvarnished truth is, cyber-crooks have become so proficient that their public thievery has reached pandemic proportions! What can you do to protect yourself?

Protecting yourself from those annoying problems we all experience. It’s the Fifth and final Point of PC Protection.
These days, most people find themselves working on their computers or visiting the Web nearly every day. Still, few of us find the time to become very savvy or proficient. Which is the single biggest reason why we experience frozen screens, corrupt files, printers that won’t print, and computers so unusable we feel the need to replace them. And that’s a shame. Because if the average PC user simply understood that most computer problems are NOT caused by their lack of expertise or a computer deficiency, but ARE caused by hackers, phishers and viruses, the cause of millions of PC glitches would suddenly become clear. The truth is, left unprotected, what millions of computers are really suffering from is externally instigated corruption. And most people don’t even realize it! So now that you DO know, what should you do about it?
