Yes, I am going to tell you about a service that will help you keep your guard up against viruses, malware, spyware and the like.

But first, let me tell you what led me to discover this service.

We started another business which would require that we store customer information in a database on our computer.

Granted we had to protect credit cards numbers and we were exceptionally concerned about protecting our customers data. But then if you think about it, how would it look if your client's private translation ended up in the wrong persons hand over the internet, by virtue of some kind of virus or hack job? Not good, surely.

So the service we use to protect our businesses and personal data is INVISUS.

The service they provide is second to none.

I used to stress over the fact that because I knew a bit more about computers, I was the "Lead Man" for maintaining the computers. That's a lot of pressure if you stop and acknowledge it. Now, the burden is not a concern because I know that INVISUS is looking out for me. I am happy to pay for the level of protection, support and peace of mind they give me. It's a tremendous value.

If you are looking for the maximum in computer protection, INVISUS is your answer.

As a Professional Translator, you have to ask yourself, do I want to spend non-productive hours every month dealing with the technical aspects of taking care of my computer equipment or do I want to have a service that goes beyond the ordinary level of antivirus care that you've come to expect? And you know that if you are going to have a problem it will be at the absolute worst possible time.

While you are thinking about the answer to that question, here's another one: Should I have a problem with my antivirus software or computer, who do I call? The local computer guy. Okay, but do you really want to let someone in your home let alone the scheduling and privacy aspects. Wouldn't it be better to be able to call someone and let them take care of the problem for you OVER the phone?

Whatever your computer needs are, INVISUS offers a level of protection you can't afford to be without.

Run some numbers. If you do an honest accounting of your time dealing with computer issues plus the lack of peace of mind your current service offers you plus the amount of money you could be making if you used that time more productively in such activities as translation, interpretation or marketing for your business, what do you come up with.

In our case, the answer is a hand's down, clear cut response. We win with INVISUS. You can too!
