Internet security, don’t overpay

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Norton Small Business by Symantec for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Recent surveys of the owners of small business, almost one in three (28 percent) people said technology was one of their highest business priorities, which placed it ahead of reducing labor costs. It is not too surprising that almost six out of ten small business owners (59 percent) admitted to having encountered problems with some sort of malware on their computer systems in the past three years, more than half of those (51 percent) had to pay an ‘expert’ to resolve the problem. protect your Small Business from the latest online threats

The problem with internet security experts in the phone book is that they are profiting from the malware on the internet as much as the people that put that software out there. If not for the baddies putting malware out there they would be out of a job.

You don’t need to hire computer technicians from outside to take care of the basic needs of computer security. Most of these experts will just install something like Norton 360 or Norton Internet Security 2012, both just launched in September, charge a business owner there marked up vendor price, and for the time to install it. Just get it yourself and install it before you have major loss of data and protect yourself. And don't forget the 30% discount for Small Business owners that purchase Norton products (primarily the 5U/10U products).

It is important to remember that just because you don’t use your office computers for anything but email, inventory tracking, and drafting documents, does not mean that you are safe from malware. The writers and purveyors of such stuff are interested in your money and find ever more ingenious ways to get it. You need some kind of internet security, but fly-by-night computer experts are also only interested in your money.

Norton is a large company that isn’t going anywhere. Many internet security companies are just one or two guys that just close up shop if they get too many customer complaints to continue. Norton has a vested interest in responding to the needs of there customers.
