Not only can PC-GEEK help you to design you
network, we can also provide the wiring to
make the network a reality. Whether your
design includes CAT5 and 5E, CAT6, CAT7,
Fiber, or Coax cabling, we can install the
wiring required to meet your
specifications. We can also address your
telephone wiring needs. Once the wiring has
been installed, we can certify that it meets
the established TIA/EIA standards. If you
already have wiring in place, but like many
businesses find that it is poorly documented
or of questionable integrity, we can trace
and test your existing wiring in order to
document and properly label your
environment. From design to
implementation, PC-GEEK is your source for
networking expertise.

A report sponsored by
Panda Security, determined the following
statistics: Between January 1999 and
February 2000, 99,67% of the 300
organizations that took part in the survey
reported having experienced at least one
“encounter” with malicious codes in their
computers. In total, the same group reported
some 303,356 encounters in their 855,889
computers throughout 1998, 1999 and the
beginning of 2000. This figure represents
an average of 160 cases per year (14 per
month) for every 1,000 computers. Since 1996
there has been an annual increase on the
order of 22 incidents per month.
The fact that over 99% of the companies
surveyed were infected at least once
during the period in question speaks
volumes about the current risk of virus
infection. Combine this with the fact
that there are hundreds of new viruses
developed each day and you can
understand the nature of this epidemic.
Anti-virus software does a great deal to
help minimize the effects of some virus
infection but they have one fatal flaw.
Most anti-virus software is
signature-based, meaning that the
software is programmed to detect
specific characteristics of the virus in
order to identify it. This makes
anti-virus software by its very nature
reactive. The following must happen in
order for you computer to detect a new
virus:
New virus is found.
Virus signature determined.
Sanitizing procedure developed.
New virus definition file must be
developed.
Anti-virus program must be updated
to address new sanitizing procedure.
User must download and install
updates.
Virus scan must be run to check
machine.
All of these steps naturally take time.
While this time is passing, the virus is
able to infect any number of machines
causing it to spread in an alarming
rate.
PC-GEEK is equipped to provide
anti-virus expertise to help you recover
from even the worst virus infection. We
will help you to develop solid policies
and procedures to aid in anti-virus
efforts while training your staff in the
importance of these Best Practices.
Should an infection occur, we will be
there to support you and your business.
From isolating the infection to
sanitizing and data recovery, we can
help you to minimize the affect of the
biggest plague affecting the computer
industry today.
During the bygone days of early Internet,
home users and even businesses could simply
connect to the Internet unprotected and not
encounter any ill effects. Today we connect
to a more hostile Internet, rife with
viruses, worms, and hackers, making network
protection top priority.
One of the best defenses against the
Internet underworld is a firewall, the
network equivalent of a bodyguard. The
firewall stands between your computers and
the chaotic Internet, allowing only certain
traffic in. Firewalls are imperative in
today's computing; networking without
firewalling is comparable to living in a
house without locks on doors and windows.
But installing firewalls can be tedious,
complicated, and involved. You know you need
one but have no idea where to start. Let
PC-GEEK install and manage your firewall for
you! Our seasoned team are experienced with
firewalls large and small. We build to suit
your current needs and scale to match your
future demands.

circuit in trouble and how to escalate your
trouble ticket when the Telco’s response
isn’t acceptable.
