Did you know that a security certicate can help secure your web site?

A security certificate is issued to provide digital security for a web site or services that runs over the public and private Internet. It is a way to valid the integrity of your information as it goes from point a to point b over the Internet. Installation of a certificate issued by a Internet security provider is one of the first items to install on web sites and hosted servers that store important data for the owners of the web site or hosted server. It can insure that your information is protected on the world wide web. Trusted certificate providers are VeriSign, Godaddy and Comodo to name a few. Many sites use certificates to secure back end data. Front end web site data search as contact forms, homepages with login scripts and any pages that need protection on your web site should also be considered for protection for the start. During the holiday season, we in the IT profession see increases in web site security issues from all over the world. Please keep this in mind as you manage your web hosting sites.

When was the last time your pc had a security check?

Many of us go about our business without thinking about how we are computing these days.

It is freeware but has some very useful layman's terms information for you. Please go to PC Security Test 2007. Share this information with others and post your comments on this blog.

IE 7 crashing with Google Toolbar

I discovered today that ie7 will crash with google toolbar installed. If you upgrade to ie7 from the previous version with google toolbar installed, it removed some files in the ntdll.dll location causing a conflict in the add-on/extensions of ie7. You can run ie-7 with extensions off and see if that clears the error. The best solution will be to deinstall google toolbar and reinstall the latest version of the application. Do not forget to reboot the computer after you have completed the reinstall process. I'm old school and I always reboot. XP and vista do not require reboot but old habits die hard.
