The reality is that most people haven't been victims of a vandalism cyber-attack. But if your computer is not properly protected, it can be vandalized from anywhere in the world, and you could lose everything you have on your computer. When a home computer is vandalized, it usually means something as simple as having certain files moved, changed or deleted, or something as extreme locking you out of your own computer, disabling your operating system, or crashing your computer altogether.

If you use a computer in your business, think of all the things you have on your computer, and then imagine losing it all. Computer vandalism can be disastrous. Imagine if you came into the office one morning and several of your confidential computer files were missing, or if all your customer data was deleted, or if you accounts receivable file was erased? What if the hacker just changed a few small, un-noticeable things in your files without your knowledge - like the terms of a contract, or the price of certain products? You can only imagine the potential disaster waiting to happen if you leave your computers unprotected.

By far, the most common problems people have with their computers are the huge hassles and costs of repairing a computer that has been infected with viruses, spyware and other hacker tools. The cost of having to regularly fix or repair your computer can become a nightmare.

FACTS:

. Disgruntled employees or ex-employees often present the greatest risk to a company's computers.

. According to InformationWeek, hacking and viruses cost U.S. businesses$266 billion in damages in the year 2000 alone - that's 2.5% of the USA's GDP!

. You could pay thousands of dollars having a technician attempt to fix a vandalized computer and retrieve missing files. (It's cheaper just to protect your PC to begin with.)
