I Have Some Suggestions Regarding Antivirus Coverage and Office File Management
Filed Under Other Stuff
I’m finding that it is possible to download some great software tools to help improve my efficiency at work and at home. I have learned that some can be downloaded at no charge, but others do come at a cost. The first products that come to mind are antivirus software packages.
One thing to remember is that the free virus protection software programs are available only for your home computer. Although the free software will protect you from the most terrible attacks, there are other threats that can be a problem. The free antivirus software will likely not protect as well as the paid software packages against all the internet marauders.
Finally, as the business world leans towards a paperless environment, there is the need to be able to consolidate and organize all types of files from hundreds of software applications. We’ll likely find more and more the need to transfer spreadsheets, text files and photographs to pdf format.
There are a few major companies with products to deal with this requirement, Adobe being the most familiar name. Adobe has certainly captured a big portion of the market with their Acrobat software, but they definitely have competition. If all you want to do is read pdf files, and do not need to edit or create them, the free Reader software may be all you need.
You will find substantial time savings by being able to work with pdf files, regardless of which software you acquire. Unless some new file type takes its place, the need for pdf file format is not going away any time soon.
