Worried about the nasties lurking online or in your PC? Protect against viruses, identity theft and other
nightmares. There are now more than one million viruses in circulation* and, as 50% of users are unaware
of viruses or spyware hidden in their PC, your computer may already be infected.
Viruses range from mild annoyances to programs that can hijack your computer, render it useless or steal
your passwords. So it makes good sense to ensure that your computer is as safe as possible. With the
right Internet security system in place, you can:
• Enjoy peace of mind
• Browse the Web safely
• Improve your computer’s performance
• Safeguard your private files and financial information
• Extend the lifespan of your computer
Prevention is better than cure and GetSafeOnline.org can help. This is just a high-level overview, but the
site has detailed advice that will explain it all.
