The Key to Protecting Your Computer from Cybercriminals

When your computer is hijacked, it becomes a zombie computer. The cybercriminal now has full control of all your personal information and can use it for criminal activities. You have now become a victim of cybercrime, and you don't even know that this has happened.
I was shocked to learn how fast the threat of cybercrime is growing. I couldn't believe a report from the Department of Treasury that the profits of Cybercrime are greater than the profits of the sale of illegal drugs. When President Obama informed us that cybercriminals have stolen $8 billion dollars from Americans in the past two years and the cost of repairing computers has risen to $11 billion a year. Cybercrime is not about vandalism. It is about our economy.
Security companies do not focus on vulnerabilities, e.g. weak passwords, software bugs, a computer virus or other malware that allow hackers to install malware on your computer, take your sensitive data, convince you to open an email message with attached malware, or copy a hardened, encrypted program onto a thumb drive and crack it at home. Not focusing on these vulnerabilities allows hackers to hijack your computer and can bring the blue screen of death ' which makes your operating system unusable.
Beware of free or store bought security software installed on your computer that claims to protect you from cybercriminals. If your computer has been hacked and is usable, it slows down and you go to the tech to get it fixed. It costs a lot of money and happens a few times a year. You wish there was a better way to protect your computer, but nobody tells you how.
I know exactly how you feel as I once had 7,500 malware on my computer and it was slowing down. I then enrolled in a managed internet security program where a team of techs remotely cleaned it up. They then installed professional grade software and a bi-directional firewall on my computer, scanned it daily and I was notified immediately if malicious malware had been placed on my computer. I then just deleted it. I just love my Managed Internet Security Service.
The company that created this Service has just upgraded its software to the latest technologies. If you are not satisfied with your current security software, check out my informational blog listed at the end of this article, where I have described it at length. I also include posts about Cybercriminals and Small Businesses, Social Networking as the next battleground for cybercriminals, and The Internet as a Hidden Place for Child Predators.
Check List to Help You Decide to Learn About a New Concept in Computer Protection, Managed Internet Security Service, and to find out about the latest technologies that can protect you, your family and your business from cybercrime and cybercriminals.
1. When you first sign up, you will have a tech team that will spend hours to remotely remove viruses, spyware, Trojans, and malicious codes from your computer that the security software you have on it did not remove.
2. You will get professional grade software that bypasses the Windows Operating System, directly scans locations of the hard drive, and removes the infections that are found.
3. You will have a clean and fast computer.
4. Notification pop-ups and warnings will be at a minimum.
5. You are immediately warned of any major security outbreaks.
6. You will be notified if emails you receive are "phishing" emails?
