Many people who decide to work from home do not have a designated office area, they tend to work wear ever, but you need the right type of space and furniture to be completely productive. Almost all office furniture can now accommodate computers and their accessories like a printer, camera, scanners to scan documents and a place to put the keyboards and hide the monitors, this makes it perfect for doing work and keeping everything organized.

Choosing a glass computer desk for your office or home is a bit more difficult than it was a few years ago.

Computer Viruses & Free Antivirus Software by Steve E. Driz

Let's face it, over the past 10 years, personal computers have become an integral part of our lives. Many households have computers in home offices, living rooms, kitchens and even bedrooms. We see the technology as something useful, friendly, and even precious and fragile at times.

Regrettably, the very technology of personal computing we seem to rely on is subjected to virus infections, email SPAM, Spyware/Adware, Trojans etc. As a result, your computer performance starts degrading, applications run slower than usual and in some instances; you are getting constant pop-up ads on your screen.

Worst-case scenario, your computer "crashes", well not literally, and you have to spend a significant amount of time and money on hiring a professional and re-installing the operating system along with all the software applications originally installed on your computer. But what about your data, the most precious personal information that may include your emails from family members, friends and colleagues, your personal documents, financial information and finally, family photos.

When you computer is infected, and the operating system needs to be re-installed, unless done by a professional at a significant cost to you, your personal information may be lost forever. You may ask, "Why is this guy painting such a grim picture?"

The answer is; "This is an unfortunate reality", and unless you are fully equipped and prepared to deal with the issue on your own, with a very little help, you may loose your valuable information permanently.

Computer Viruses and Antivirus Software

As I mentioned earlier, computer viruses may destroy your computer's operating system and disable access to your personal information. Computer viruses are generally distributed through email, Internet sites, instant messaging (chat software), and physical media such as CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, USB or floppy disks.

The best preventative strategy is to have a full-featured antivirus software installed on your computer.

Most of the personal computers purchased today are already equipped with the antivirus software. "So, what's the catch?" you ask me. The catch is that every commercial as well as non-commercial antivirus software requires frequent updating. Many people think that if the antivirus was installed on their computer by the vendor, they are protected for life. Wrong!

To give you an example, when a new computer virus is discovered, large teams of software developers work night and day to come-up with an antidote, a "pill" that would destroy a virus and will inoculate your personal computer. Once available, the antivirus update or "signature", will be available on the vendor's website for download. If your antivirus software is up-to-date, and is configured to update automatically over the Internet, you have very little to worry about. But what if I told you that millions of computer users out there have outdated antivirus software.

Believe it or not, it is true. It means that even though they think that their computer is protected, in actuality their, and any computer with outdated antivirus software may be easily infected by a virus.

You have to be cognizant of the fact that most of the commercial antivirus software available today requires annual subscription, and if your subscription was not renewed on time, the antivirus would stop updating its virus signatures, thus exposing your system to a threat. The good news is that there are non-commercial, free antivirus software packages that can be downloaded and used absolutely free of charge on your home computer.

Is There Spyware And Adware On Your Computer?? by Malcolm

The Shocking Facts are that 85% to 90% of computers that are connected to the internet today are infected by some type of adware and spyware!- Source CNN These malicious software programs invade your privacy and send personal and private data to third parties and also take up hard drive space and slow down your PC.

Spyware tracks your on line internet browsing and surfing habits. It moniters each location you visit and what you have looked up on that site. Spyware programs can even track every keystroke you make on your keyboard and record every bit of data you add to a online form, such as name, location and credit card data when you make a purchase. This can lead to identity hijacking and theft of personal and private credit card information. Your PC surfing habits and personal and private information is then sold to third parties.

Adware is another kind of spyware. It doesn't work by tracking your information as spyware does, but what it can do is literally switch your browser settings without your permission. It can cause pop up ads to appear on your PC. A toolbar can also be installed on your computer without your knowledge. Most of us are unaware of the presence of adware programs installed on our computer untill it starts to slow down, crash, blue screen or programs stop working properly.

The spyware business is a billion dollar a year industry with people getting very rich selling the information they steal about you.

Downloading and installing anti-spyware software will remove and protect your computer from spyware, adware, keyloggers, pop ups, trojans and worms.
