Before I was an Internet guy, I was a LAN guy. I am a Network Administrator by schooling, but over the years through on-site experience I have become a Systems Administrator. I have a strong background in network security and hope to be able to help some people out who are out and about on the net.

Since I have been on the internet so much more, I have seen many new and interesting ways for malicious users to get into systems. Whether it be by a malicious email, compromised website, OS vulnerability, or even just a program vulnerability, I have seen it all. It used to be just Adware, then Spyware, then Malware, but now you have a host of bad things for your computer out there and just an Anti-Virus or Firewall is not enough anymore.

Below you can find some great security programs for both your networks and file systems to keep out the bad guys and keep the integrity of your data safe and clean.

Typically you only think of a firewall when it comes to network security, but there are several other tools that can ensure you have no intruders on your home or office network.
