AntiVirus
- Antivirus software is a must have
product on any computer system whether its for personal
or business use. With today's ever increasing threats, its only
a matter of time before an infection occurs - and without
significant protection, that can be disastrous for you and your
business.
With billions of Internet users worldwide, and more connecting daily, it creates a perfect transport mechanism for the spread of these threats.
Everyday usage involves browsing the Internet, file transfers, sending of email etc., and a HUGE number of users are not adequately protected (either by having a poor solution or not regularly updating their software), or even WORSE, not protected at all. This chronic ignorance of the threat will only add to the continuing spread infecting domestic and business users everywhere, causing loss of data and costing MILLIONS of dollars. Some intrusions can also cause a total breakdown of a system, so EVERYTHING has to be reinstalled from scratch.We believe the best solution on the market today for threat detection, performance, usability and cost, is NOD32. That is why it is the ONLY antivirus we sell, and we are an Australian Authorised Reseller. Our personal opinion is NOD32 is bullet-proof.

AntiSpyware
- Like antivirus software, you also need antispyware software to protect yourself
from spyware threats. These include Phone Dialers, Browser HiJackers,
Adware and Keyloggers.
Whilst some spyware may be harmless and just plain annoying, others can gather browsing habits and personal information from your computer system and report back to multiple locations for later analysis.
More serious threats such as keyloggers can record all keystrokes which may include credit card or bank account details.So in order to protect yourself there are 3 products that we use and recommend - Ewido, A-Squared or Ad-Aware. We can install any of these on your system, run checks, and remove current spyware applications effectively and safely.
Firewall
- Firewalls are used to block unauthorized access to devices or a computer
system on a network. They work by analysing and filtering packet
data based on a rule set that has been created.
There are two types of firewalls - hardware and software. The main difference being most hardware firewalls don't provide outbound application protection where as software ones do.
Whilst nearly all modern broadband modems and routers come with some form of hardware firewall, it's still good measure to install a software firewall for it's outbound application protection. In the event that you become infected by a TROJAN, an outbound firewall will prevent the trojan from sending information from your computer without your authorisation.Using a firewall in combination with antivirus and antispyware software will provide extremely good protection providing they are kept up to date.
We recommend either Outpost or Zone Alarm as our software of choice. Outpost is (in our opinion) better than Zone Alarm, however Zone Alarm is a little easier to manage and configure. We can install either solution at your home or office and provide training.
Computer Hardware
- All our computer systems are custom built with quality
components because that is the only way we can ensure that the
final product meets our high
standards.

Computer Software
- We sell most of Microsoft's product range. Whether you're
looking for Windows XP, Windows Media Center Edition (Windows
MCE), Windows 2003 or Microsoft Office we can supply (and
install) it.
We also use the ever popular open source FreeBSD operating system for our servers which offers advanced networking, performance and security, amongst a host of other features.
Don't be afraid to ask if you're looking for any other sort of software solution. We have tried and tested many brands and types of software, so we can probably guide you to the best solution for your particular problem.
Home Theatre PC
- Home Theatre PC (commonly referred to as HTPC for short)
is basically a computer system using a select range of
components that provide High Definition Video and Digital
Surround Sound, amongst many other amazing features.
Some of the capabilities of a Home Theatre PC include:
- - Audio Video and Picture Library's
- - Dual Analogue or Digital Tuners
- - Electronic Program Guide (EPG)
- - Ability to record 2 shows at once whilst watching a movie or a previously recorded show
and much more...
A single box gets rid of your DVD Player, CD Player, Video Cassette Recorder (VCR), and Digital Set Top Box (STB). Also, when connected with Microsoft's Xbox 360 gaming console, the Xbox 360 becomes a "Media Centre Extender" enabling almost all the same features as the HTPC, but in another room.As you can see, the potential of a HTPC is exciting, and when connected to a High Definition TV or Projector its nothing short of a jaw-dropping experience.
Like our computer systems, we custom build our HTPC systems to exacting standards, using the latest hardware and software, and incorporating the most up-to-date configurations - all contributing to providing you with the best and most convenient home theatre experience possible today!
