So Protect Yourself And Your Family Today! 

On a personal note, last week my son turned off our MISS (Managed Internet Security Service) on his PC. This service has been called the best MISS for the home PC user.

Well, when he turned it off to download a new file for an online game he was playing, a hacker dropped a piece of malicious code onto his system which allowed the hacker to turn his PC into a Zombie. Part of a BotNet system that was able to send over 1 million pieces of emails in less than 24 hours.

Our ISP shut down our account and it took me an additional 5 hours to convince them we were not spammers.

I challenge you right now to test your system! Make sure you have not already fallen victim to some cyber-criminal.

If you are interest in the service I use personally you can go to Stop Cyber-Crime Now!

Think about it for a second What is your family and privacy worth?

If your car needs new brakes are you going to buy inexpensive brake pads, or worse yet take them to a neighbor who is going to read how to put them on from a book?

Then why rely on cheap and free security software for your family's security?
