At Netstaruk, we provide a range of IT support services in London. We provide telephonic and remote support to our clients, onsite visits on a schedule or during an emergency, remote monitoring of servers and auditing of LANs. Our engineers can help you set up and monitor your network. They can help you protect your network using firewalls, antivirus and antispam software, and can also help you back up your data remotely. They can enable you to set up an actual network to connect three or more computers, or a virtual private network (VPN), so that you or your employees can work from home.
Netstaruk's telephonic support service is offered at a fixed cost, as and when required by your business. We provide comprehensible support via phone and e-mail, so that your problems are solved quickly. We also provide downloadable software that enables us to remotely monitor your computers in an emergency. At least 92 percent of the emergencies we deal with are solved remotely or via telephone. In case telephonic or remote support does not solve the problem, we send our engineers to solve the problem onsite. We also send our engineers onsite to resolve support issues, help with network administration, work on minor projects and install and configure software.
At Netstaruk, we provide an initial LAN audit when we first set up your network, to ensure that all devices are working as promised and expected. We also monitor your server remotely, a service that was till now provided only to large corporations. Our engineers also pay scheduled visits to clients, to ensure that all is well and to take care of minor problems before they snowball into major issues.
Netstaruk also enables you to set up firewalls, and use antispam and antivirus software to protect your systems. Firewalls prevent unauthorized break-ins into your computer systems, antispam software ensures that you do not receive junk mail and antivirus software ensures that your systems are not affected by Trojans or internet worms. We also enable our clients to encrypt and back up their data over the internet-at present, we safeguard at least 200 GB worth of client data.
In case you are looking for a web hosting service, we have various packages to suit your needs. We can provide a wide range of broadband services for small office-home office (SOHO) and business networks, as well as domain registration services.

Top 10 Ways To Protect Yourself From Computer Viruses
by: Jim Faller

As more and more people are becoming comfortable using their computers at school, home or in the office it�s only a matter of time before they encounter a computer virus. Here are our top 10 steps to protect you from computer viruses.

Use a high quality anti-virus program. There are many different anti-virus computers programs on the market some of them are better than others. Look to reputable computer magazines or websites for ratings to help you find the one that matches your needs.

Always use your anti-virus software. Make sure your anti-virus software is always turned on and scanning, incoming and outgoing email messages, and any software programs you run.

Keep your antivirus programs up to date. Most programs come with a yearly subscription make sure you take advantage of the updates. More advanced programs allow you to schedule updates or full system scans for �off hours� like 2AM when you aren�t likely to be using your computer.

Keep your computer up to date. From time to time operating systems fall victim to security holes or issue updates. Make sure you check periodically to make sure you are running stable up to date versions of your software.

Backup your data regularly. Most windows computer users keep their documents in the �My documents� folder. This makes it easy to back up all of your important documents. Make weekly or monthly copies to CD or USB drives.

If you use floppy disks or USB drives on public computers like your school computer lab, Kinko�s, or even digital photo printing store make sure you scan them for viruses. Public computers are notorious for not being up to date and properly protected.

Be wary of email attachments. Treat any email attachment as potentially dangerous. Never open attachments from people you weren�t expecting. Also be careful of attachments from people you know but weren�t expecting. Many computer viruses replicate themselves by reading the contacts from an infected computer.

Use text email if possible. While HTML email is prettier and allows you more control over formatting it also can carry computer viruses. If you use text based email the only way to get a virus is by opening an attachment.

Use downloaded freeware and shareware files or software with caution. Try to download them from popular reputable sources that scan the programs before they are uploaded. To make sure you are safe scan the program before you install it on your computer.

Be wary of links in IM or instant messaging software. Don�t accept invitations from people you don�t know and never click a link from someone you don�t trust, they can easily redirect you to another website that will try to install a virus on your computer system.
