I’ve Got Some Ideas Regarding Antivirus Coverage and Office File Management

December 8th, 2009

There are a number of very helpful software tools out there to make me more productive at home and when I’m at work. Some are downloaded for free and some you must pay for. In particular I am thinking about the importance of antivirus software for my computer.

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.

As we all move in the direction of less and less paper at the office, it means we need to be able to work with many different file types, from a wide variety of software applications. Transfering the many kinds of document, image and data files to pdf format will be a common action.

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. Many people get by with the free Adobe Reader download when they don’t have a need to perform more involved tasks.

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.
