Happy Fall!

With my Greyware class coming in November relating to cyber security, I wanted to share some information with you on this subject that may be helpful.

How do I know my anti-malware (anti-virus & anti-spyware) program is catching everything?
Even the best software out there can't detect everything so the latest recommendation is to have a backup spyware program to use with your main program. Some of these secondary programs will be mentioned at our "Greyware" November 12th computer class. You may also call to set up an appointment with me.

The articles at this link contain Independent testing comparison of anti-virus/spyware products. "Advanced+" is the best rating you can get: http://chart.av-comparatives.org/awards.php?year=2014
