| IT Topic of the Month: How do I keep those darn Computers clean and free of Viruses? |
Some experts say the only way to stop getting Viruses, Spyware or Malware is to stop using the systems that get infected… meaning stop using Microsoft Windows and move to a Mac or Linux OS.  Unfortunately, in most cases, this is not an option. Mac's are a great concept... If they could just get those darn application developers to make Mac versions of our software. Linux??? for the everyday user is just not going to happen. I imagine helping clients change permissions with CHOWN or CHMOD or setting up a scheduled task (CRON) with CONTRAB. A majority of computers utilize software only written Microsoft Platforms.
OK.. so back to the problem, how do I keep them clean. In the old days, (last year) we would suggest Symantec Endpoint Protection, but through our R&D we have found a product that not only out performs SEP in discovery and removal of threats, it does it with less over head.
 VIPRE Enterprise delivers fast and efficient endpoint security with all the necessary security functionality you need and nothing you don't!
With VIPRE you can:
• Protect users from sophisticated spyware, viruses, and malware
• Reduce high RAM usage and optimize your end users' workstation performance
• Easily deploy and manage your endpoints from a single management console
For more information in getting VIPRE installed on your systems or to make sure you have the latest protection from spyware, malware and viruses, contact us.

| Tech Word of the Month: Occam's razor |
 Occam's razor: “the simplest explanation is usually the correct one”. Comes from the 14th century logician and theologian friar William of Ockam who wrote “entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity”
Here at CIU we use the theory of Occam's razor in our daily tasks to deduce what is the most efficient way to fix a computer or network related issue that have arose. This allows us to be quick and efficient and allows you to continue to work, or surf the internet.
Bottom Line: We are geeks.
