The Top Eight Computer Myths!
Since most computer problems are resolved either by random or
ritualistic action on the part of the user, or by following
mysterious instructions from an allegedly knowledgeable support
person, it's hardly surprising that there are lots of
pseudo-religious myths about PCs. Between them, these stories can
waste a lot of your time and money. Worse yet, you could become one
of the myths' promulgators, and exacerbate the problem!
This article is partly
about the worst of these myths, but it's also about how to spot
misconceived ideas yourself.
1: Everything's a
virus!
By far the most common PC myths concern viruses. Novice computer
users are renowned for assuming that anything that goes wrong with
their PC must be caused by a virus, and misguided virus warnings are
one of the most popular kinds of non-commercial junk e-mail. Many of
these warnings clearly originated as a joke (e-mails titled "Pen Pal
Greetings!" that warn you never to open an e-mail titled "Pen Pal
Greetings!", for instance), but many computer users don't know what
their computer can and can't do and so forward the "warnings"
promiscuously.

Top Seven Internet Security Myths
Summary
Many of us surf the Internet, even shop and bank online, without
really understanding that if we can get out to the world from our
home computers, the world can get in.
Test your knowledge of
home computing security issues; you might be surprised by some
commonly held misperceptions.
Myth 1. I have
antivirus software—that's all I need.
This is the most common Internet myth. Yes, antivirus protection is
important and you need it. But just having the software isn't
enough. New viruses emerge all the time, so you need to update your
virus definitions regularly to make sure they're current or, better
yet, use software that does that for you automatically.
Furthermore, antivirus
software only provides one type of security (stopping viruses from
infecting your system) when you go online. But hackers are also a
threat, and antivirus software can't deflect a determined hacker
(see Myth #4). You need a firewall to stop hackers from getting into
your system, and to make sure your personal information doesn't go
out without your authorization.

Save on your business
Taxes
Investments in technology at year end are a great way to help your
organization and to potentially write off the entire investment
through depreciation. Tax laws are very favorable towards these
types of investments. This reduces your tax liability while making
valuable investments in technology that can make significant
improvements in your business. Tax impacts depend, of course on your
profitability, the amount of the investment and other factors. These
should be discussed with a tax specialist (See paragraph below). We
are happy to help with technology improvements at the end of the
year. Give our professionals a call at 209-578-9739
(Off-the-shelf
computer software that is depreciable over three years under
Code Sec. 168(f)(1)(A)) that is placed in service in tax years
beginning in 2003 through 2010 may be expensed under Code Sec. 179.
Off-the-shelf computer software is software that is readily
available for purchase by the general public, is subject to a
nonexclusive license, and has not been substantially modified.) |
