Business & Pleasure – Computing Safety Best Practices

Business vs Personal Computing (photo by Petr Kratochvil)

In today’s society, the barrier between one’s work life and personal life is becoming increasingly blurred.  People have the tendency to carry one mobile phone and one laptop for both business and personal computing.  The problem is that personal computing tasks such as using social networks, downloading games, or simply surfing the web are much more likely than business activities to expose your computer to viruses, trojans, bloatware and other hazards.  We recommend using separate computers for business and pleasure.  The cost of a second computer or tablet is dwarfed by the cost of your business machine being taken out of commission by risky personal use.  If you absolutely must use the same computer for all your computing activities, contact Nick’s Computer Services to ensure your machine is as secure as possible.
