Internet Security
While the Internet has created great opportunities and increased productivity in so many ways it has at the same time introduced risks and productivity killers. E-mail is a great example of that. E-mail has made it inexpensive and easy to communicate with people all over the world but at the same time it has introduced a vehicle for disseminating viruses and introduced us to SPAM. Jody can help you setup your Internet Service Provider’s (ISP) e-mail settings (when available) to reduce the amount of SPAM you receive and install the latest in anti-virus software to protect your computer from viruses.
Another productivity boost from the Internet is the information that is at your fingertips and the ease to which you can do tasks such as ordering supplies online. While these are great benefits and a boon to productivity there are also the time wasters like social computing (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc.), online games and, of course, porn sites. OpenDNS is a wonderful tool for businesses wanting to protect productivity and families wanting to a safer Internet experience. Jody recommends you take a look at the benefits of OpenDNS and, if you like them, implement it yourself or suggest it to your IT staff at work. If you don’t have an IT staff then contact Jody and he’ll be happy to come out and set it up for you at a reasonable cost.
