Small Businesses Take Action Against Viruses
If your business uses computers then you are probably aware of the danger of viruses and how much damage they can cause. The good news is that more business owners than ever are finding out that good protection need not cost a fortune.
A new survey carried out by BizHelp24 has found that most small business owners are protecting themselves against infections. 80% of those surveyed used virus software which is kept up to date; of those businesses 60% used paid software, and 40% used free software.Whilst free software may seem like a risky option, there are several free virus killers which do as good a job as most paid ones. Any virus protection is less risky than none; and it is always better to have updated free virus protection than out of date paid protection. In addition, the growing popularity of free virus protection means that the makers of paid software are including more features than ever before and reducing prices!
However, a worrying 14% of small businesses are still either not using any virus protection, or are not keeping it up to date. This means that over 400,000 small businesses are not protected against new threats, risking huge business damage from just one virus infection.
If your business is still not updating virus protection software, or has none at all; you need to take action and quickly. For the sake of 20 minutes downloading and installation you can give your vital business computers decent protection.
Speaking of excellent free software, don’t forget that our popular small business forms and letters software is available to download free!

Thank you for the reminder! Would you consider writing a review of different virus protection programs?
I've requested the BizStart24 package (for the second time, I downloaded it some years ago, but it didn't appeal to me for some reason). I like the new look, and I hope it'll be as great a resource as can be!
This is the first time I have seen this blog, and I'll be back for more.
We have considered Virus Killer reviews in the past, but it is difficult and time consuming to test them; particularly as its hard to know whether they work until you get a virus!
Not only that, but once you have done the test they all get updated and the playing field changes again!
The virus killers that appear to have the best write up in general are Norton Internet Security (combined firewall and virus killer package), and Mcaffee virus killer.
The two free virus killers that are spoken of most highly are Avast and AVG.
I'm glad our updated BizStart24 software is to your liking. I hope you find it useful.
