One the dreariest parts of owning a computer is installing and configuring anti virus software despite the clearly compelling argument for having it on you computer. The facts are the internet is not kindergarten and their are people out there with software who would like nothing better than to add your computer to their botnet for sending out illicit spam and other nefarious activities like identity theft. Then there are the people on a crusade to point out any vulnerability they can in the Windows operating system and get their 15 minutes of fame from it.

As a computer owner you can just install the software out of the box that you bought down at a electronics store and then deal with the endless complaints that it slowed down your computer or deal with the virus updates. But then there is also the issue of how do you know if the software is even working?

One of the nice things about running a computer repair business and a long career in technology is being aware of great products and solutions that may be out of the reach of the average home owner through knowledge and bringing them to them. Being a managed service provider for anti virus software is one of them.

For a low monthly fee you can opt into the MadRiverSystems.com managed anti virus service. We will remotely install anti virus software on your computer, keep it up to date, keep it tuned to have minimum impact on your every day computing, and send you an email status report on it once a month on anything you need to know just like Chief Technology Officers for large businesses get.
