Taking chances when it comes to Internet Security is never something to be taken lightly. Though some private and casual computer users will likely do so, business owners who make use of computers to store both business and customer data must consider security a top priority. Having run a business myself I can say with the utmost of confidence that not only must you have some sort of Computer Security set up for your PC’s but must also make use of reliable and dependable software. It is an all to common practice in business these days to cut corners in an attempt to save a buck and while I have seen several businesses cut expenses even in security applications to do so is simply folly.

When my partner and I began our business venture a couple of years ago the first thing we did after deciding to start the business was to begin with Security Research. Though we both involved ourselves with finding the very best security software I was tasked with the majority of the project. I was initially disappointed by all of the PC Security Software I had looked at as none seemed to deliver an all in one experience. Being an ample computer user and fairly tech savvy I didn’t want to treat my businesses network as I did my home network. Using several different antivirus applications to both eliminate and keep threats at bay wasn’t going to cut it in the business world. The program I needed had to bring everything to the table so that I would know I’m getting the best bang for my buck and that my business and its confidential information would remain safe.

I’ve heard all the horror stories of business being sued and/or shut down due to poor security measures taken by owners who feel penny pinching is the way to solve all problems. I was determined not to be that type of owner nor did I want my business to suffer the effects of that management style. After some exhaustive research and substandard results I felt it was time to consult with those that had gone down this road before me. I actually spoke with my former employer whom I was employed with prior to starting my businesses. She revealed that not only did they take PC Security seriously but that they also went with a company that they found through several internet searches. This company she had chosen and still uses to this day is known as eEye. eEye specializes in creating tools that will allow just about anyone to successfully remove threats from their computers and networks while at the same time keep those same threats out and away from their machines.

This information piqued my curiosity and so I began looking at eEye’s website and list of PC Security applications. As I was initially pleased with what I saw I began scouring the internet for opinions and reviews of the said programs. The majority of users said the same things my former employer did and they shared her opinions on the programs as well. After going over the results with my business partner we decided to invest in a couple of eEye’s products. We began with Blink® Professional Edition which would allow us to remove and keep all threats out of our computers and do it all in one program. Secondly we ended up with their Security Management Appliance 1505 which would further reduce our exposure to attacks, thus protecting our client and business data. Once things got set up both my partner and I couldn’t have been more pleased. Our network and individual PC’s have rum smoothly with little to no issues for close to two years. In addition to that, now that we are a much larger company than we were a few years ago we’ve taken on a small but effective IT staff of which the Director shares our tastes in Endpoint Security software so things continue to run as though we’ve never had any issues.

Of course like any business we are always on the lookout for the next big thing, and want the best products available to help us keep our business afloat. That said we generally have our collective eyes on new antivirus software as well as those programs that can run a thorough Vulnerability Assessment test but to this date we have yet to see, though we always test, any applications that perform better than eEye’s have for us.

There are always many factors that play a part in which vendors you choose to utilize while maintaining your own business such as budget, ease of implementation and use, and even convenience but no matter which program you decide to use always research and test before you buy. Those companies that offer Free Antivirus Software downloads do so because they are confident in their product. Be ware of companies and their websites who require anything from a small fee to the full cost of the program prior to purchase. Choosing and using poor antivirus software can at times be more damaging than using none at all can. Those interested in solid, reliable, dependable, and affordable PC Security Software should spend some time over at the eEye site. You can visit that at http://www.eeye.com.
