As more people move away from lucrative Windows desktops (OK, more is a relative term, but it’s definitely a countable number) folks like McAfee have to find new threats for us to fear in order to ensure that we purchase their products.

The latest scare? McAffee is warning us that HTML5 in Chrome OS will be able to hack us even when we’re not online. They have no proofs of concept, no actual data… it’s just conjecture.

That BusinessWeek picked this up with a delightfully alarmist headline is also a testament to McAffee’s success. Oh well. Folks like McAffee have to eat as well, so stay scared, web users!

Technology is critical for any home-based business, especially for online marketing businesses. Frequently newbies to the field of internet marketing don’t really understand the required technologies or how they will affect the home-based businesses.

1. If you’re going to do internet marketing (IM), you’ll clearly need a computer of some sort – preferably one of your own, either a desktop model or a laptop.Your computer should have plenty of memory, speed and internet connectivity.  Broadband preferred over dial-up.
2. A domain name that you own, so that you can begin to establish your own brand.Some advertisers require that you have your own domain and not use an Affiliate website.  A good domain name will be short (30 characters or less), meaningful to the eye and the ear, and reflective of your business or product.  The most popular names end in “.com” and such names are preferred for home-based businesses, if available.
3. You’ll need a web hosting service to provide a “home” for your website.There are many web hosting companies on the market to service home-based businesses.  Their services do vary somewhat, as do their costs, so be sure to shop around before making your decision.

5. Another necessary, but frequently overlooked, need is for backup of your locally stored programs and data.Regardless of the best security programs you might have, there will come a time when you suffer a system crash, with either complete or partial loss of data and key programs.  Consequently, you will also need a rigorous backup and restore capability.

It seems that the two biggest anti-virus companies Symantec and McAfee have been naughty boys. They’ve been hit with fines for £230k for automatically charging customers to renew their subscriptions. Oh dear. Customers complained because they hadn’t been given fair warning that this would happen. This couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Californian based companies – Microsoft are currently prepping a beta release of their free anti-virus software, Morro.

Consumers should also be aware that there are plenty of other free options available to them for their computer security. AVG and Avast are big names in terms of free anti-virus protection and there are plenty of others out there. Spend a little while researching – you’re sure to find a perfect option to suit your own circumstances. Also, before you splash out for a commercial option check with your bank to see if you can get free protection through them. Many online banking sites will provide their customers with a link to get free protection with a service that they’d usually have to pay for. For example, Barclays has a deal with Kaspersky and HSBC offers McAfee for free. It pays to be safe but why pay for something when you don’t have to?

Microsoft is prepping a beta release of their free anti-virus software, Morro. There’s no fixed date as yet but with the full version set for launch by the end of the year The Soft has hinted that we’re looking at a matter of weeks/days. The move comes as one hell of a pain for the likes of McAfee, Symatnec et al who’ve responded with the usual scaremongery about their experience in the field and superior levels protection and blah, blah, blah but their share prices have dropped by a per cent or nonetheless. Morro appears to be a stripped down version of Microsoft’s failed $40-a-year Live OneCare suite, which was a commercial disaster, and is set to be pulled in November. Doubtless, it’ll have a significantly better uptake now that you don’t have to pay for it and I’ll be interested to see whether the likes of Dell still offer trials for subscription anti-virus. Looking forward to the waves.

Here’s a tip for you on this endless Friday: if you don’t want a computer virus then don’t search for lyrics. It turns out that the search term “lyrics” is a dangerous one, and carries a maximum risk percentage of 26.3 percent in McAfee’s little danger-o-meter or whatever. That is to say 26 out of every 100 Web sites that pop up when you search for “lyrics” may contain viruses, browser exploits, a boatload of pop-ups, and other Internet nasties.

The solution, then, is to never search for lyrics. Or, failing that, use a safe site like songmeanings.net.

Other terms that could put you in hot water: free, Web (why the heck are you searching for “Web”?), gear/gadgets/games, videos, celebrities, etc. Actually, here’s a chart someone made:

Seeing these search terms is just depressing. Like, who actually searches for “shopping” when Amazon has been around forever?

Anyhow, I imagine that most of you guys aren’t dumb enough to click on the shiny punch-the-monkey nonsense or whatever, but keep an eye on your less savvy friends. The last thing the Internet needs is more virus-filled PCs mucking about.
