Is Your Password Strong Enough?

In an environment where security becomes more important all the time your passwords are your first line of defense. If you are carrying a notebook your password becomes even more important in case it is lost or stolen. Passwords protect your files, your email and many online accounts such as online banking. If your password is not strong enough it makes it easier for your information to be stolen. You can test your password strength here, if you are not strong enough I recommend testing a few options to ensure that your password is as strong as possible. A strong password and regularly updated antivirus software will go a long way to ensure that your information is protected and safe.

Forefront Security

Microsoft has entered the security world with its Forefront product line. Forefront has actually been around for a few years, but only in the last few days has any marketing been done. The security market is a very big part of the technology industry right now. The leading company in security remains Symantec. Trend Micro and ESET continue to build on successes every day. From what I have seen at this time Microsoft Forefront does not have the capacity to overtake the leaders in the security industry. It will be interesting to see how the Forefront product develops and if Microsoft is able to establish a place in security.

Antivirus Update!

ESET released a new version of their popular antivirus software NOD32. NOD32 2.7 provides comprehensive protection by including protection against viruses, hackers adware and spyware in one application. The new version of NOD32 antivirus Includes support for Windows Vista 32 and 64 bit editions. Another new feature is Anti-Stealth technology which allows rootkits to be discovered even if they are hiding from the operating system. More information here.

Need antivirus for Vista?

What antivirus software will work with Windows Vista? Since Windows Vista came out antivirus software companies have been working to ensure that their software will continue to work with the new operating system.

ESET’s NOD32 was one of the first antivirus software companies to offer 64-bit support for both home and business users. Version 2.7 offers full Vista compatibility. If you currently have a valid NOD32 license the upgrade to version 2.7 is available at no charge.

Trend Micro has released a version of PC-cillin antivirus software that will work with Windows Vista. However the Client/Server/SMB software is still waiting for an updated version to work with Windows Vista. The updated version is expected to be released soon.

It's all about security.

It seems that software security is becoming a bigger and bigger concern as the web becomes more popular. It seems that you can not spend 15 minutes connected to the internet without having at least some form of spyware or adware finding a way into your computer. Not to mention the viruses continue to be a problem. Windows Vista took steps to increase security, but still can not keep everything out.

Because of the constant threat of attack there are many antivirus software programs available. The biggest of which is probably Symantec which makes the Norton software that many people find on their new computer when they start it up. There are however a couple of antivirus applications that seem to catch everything Symantec does, and can do it with more efficiency. Trend Micro and NOD32 have both been praised for using a smaller footprint. Meaning they use less system resources and are able to run faster.

Especially in business security is important. Symantec, Trend Micro and NOD32 will all provide protection so you can spend less time working on infected systems and more time working with your customers.
