Jim Dickinson here, back this week with another great tip. I'd like to refer to a scary article from the BBC showing how a hacker can compromise a computer in EIGHT SECONDS!!!

From the article:

We're always telling you how important anti-virus and firewall software is for securing your home PC - the Internet is a dangerous place for unprotected PCs. Spencer Kelly met up with a reformed ex-hacker, who gave him a demonstration of just how much damage a worm or virus can do to your home computer.

Click Here to watch the video report (it's 8.8MB and requires Windows Media Player).

Pretty insane, huh?!? Look, friends, this is all very real. Do you want to get protected and be worry-free? I can show you how to get that protection for free, too. Or turn it into an income stream for you as a home business...

Interested? Get Protected NOW.

There are two things I hear all the time, so let me see if you are thinking the same things:

1) Nobody wants what is on my computer, and
2) I've got (insert name brand program here) so I don't need any more protection.

Let's talk about that. In that video you just watched, they showed the sasser worm. The purpose of the sasser worm is to drop a payload of remote control software (yep, it really is a remote control) on your PC so the controlling hacker can use your PC for their own purpose. What purpose you ask? Just about anything they don't want to use their own computer for...illegal activities, hacking other computers, sending spam, spreading their worm some more...the list goes on.

From this same article with the video:

Perhaps the most sinister thing about an infected PC, is that it can become part of a 'botnet' - a network of seemingly innocent but infected machines whose combined processing power can be hired out to organized crime.

These botnets can comprise hundreds or thousands of zombie PCs, all awaiting instructions. One of the most common instructions would be to launch a concerted attack on a popular website - a DDOS (distributed denial of service attack), where major websites are flooded with repeated bogus requests from hundreds of zombie PCs. Overwhelmed by the traffic, the site goes down.

Several large websites, including Google, have already fallen victim to DDOS attacks.

But just consider this one thing. A hacker can record keystrokes on your PC can capture your credit card number, your PayPal login, your banking login, etc. At that point they don't even have to USE your credit card to steal your money. No...they will just sell it to someone else who will and the hacker makes a fortune.

Are your credit card numbers at risk? Get Protected NOW.

Now to address the notion that you have a great piece of software already, why would you consider something else. I have lots of good reasons, but my reasons aren't necessarily your reasons. Why don't you call me and we can discuss it (801-427-5074)? I won't try to sell you anything. My goal is to get you protected. I will help you identify if your current software is doing that. Here's what the Invisus service will provide:

1. First and foremost, this is a SERVICE. You get EXPERTS that are looking after your PC. You hire them for your tiny $15 a month. They offer *F*R*E*E* tech support, and will even fix your problems remotely if they can't give you a simple answer over the phone. Will your current protection do that for you? Secondly, because it's a SERVICE and not a software package, the package can change, and they will still support you. All of the INVISUS software is provided at no extra charge. They put the best of breed on your PC to protect it. And why wouldn't they? They want to reduce the amount of free tech support they have to do, don't you think?  :)
