protect users, the hackers are always a step-ahead. What’s more, if you miss just one of those updates, you might as well hang a
great big “hack me” sign on your computer because as soon as you connect such a PC to the Net it becomes vulnerable to attack.
Windows is a fine operating system that makes it easy to use your PC - but it’s sheer popularity is what invites so much unwanted
intention from those hell-bent on stealing your money or data.
The solution is so simple. Drag out that old PC and use it as your “internet” PC. This option provides you with almost 100% safe online
web surfing, email and all the other things you do while on the web. None of the worms that infest Windows-based PCs will be able
to run on such a machine and your sensitive information will be much safer. Even though that old PC will be less powerful than your
new one and even though it probably has less memory and hard-drive space -- it’ll probably run every bit as fast as your flash new
one when decked out with Linux. That’s because most of the Linux implementations are much “leaner and meaner” than Microsoft’s
bloated operating system.
Ubuntu Linux being open source software is free. There’s no cost associated with downloading or using it and some of the latest
versions are every bit as easy as Windows to install and use.
You will still need to connect your “flash PC” to the Internet for updates so that might mean a little bit of inexpensive “jiggery pokery” to
make this task simple but it is well worth the effort. Contact JAYMAX Computing for more information about this and let us do the job
for you if you don’t want to tackle it yourself!
