Antivirus programs can have many differences between applications or they can be very similar. There are programs that can be paid for or programs that can be acquired for free. Because having an antivirus program installed to protect the computer and its user is essential for optimal performance and online safety, a program must be evaluated to make sure it fits the requirements for each user’s need and that the computer meets the software’s requirements for installation. One such antivirus program that provides users with real time protection against viruses and protects the user’s sensitive personal files and information is AVG Antivirus.

The Operating System (OS) is the heart of computer server and client systems; therefore they are the pivotal components of the Information Technology (IT) architecture. The OS contains the crucial data, information, and applications, which are vulnerable, and can be infiltrated to cripple the entire IT architecture of the organization. Therefore, it becomes mandatory to properly safeguard the OS from an internal or external intrusion (Stallings & Brown, 2012). This critical thinking report will highlight the security concerns that may impact the OS. Further, the security guidelines and best practices for the OS in general, along with the specific fundamentals regarding the Windows and Linux OS are comprehensively illustrated.
date with the latest software and security patches. Reputable antivirus programs such as Norton Security, McAfee Antivirus, and Bitdefender Antivirus and firewall programs should be installed and kept up to date for maximum protection.
Dental indices are important tools used in examinations to provide a numeric score that quantifies the magnitude of the disease measured.
Bitewing radiographs are an important adjunct to clinical examination and maybe necessary to help the clinician detect and diagnose caries (REF). However ionising radiation from x-ray exposure has the potential to cause malignancy in the patient and therefore clin...
Digital x-rays. If you haven't had dental x-rays for awhile, you are in for a surprise. With digital x-rays, your dental needs are assessed quickly, while you remain calm and comfortable. There no longer are those sharp pieces of film that we used to dread. Digital x-rays will show small areas of decay before they become a problem. Deep cavities, gum disease and even some types of tumors can now be diagnosed and treated early to avoid serious dental health problems.
They often offer suggestions on dental care. The infusion of technology in the dental hygiene profession can be seen all around a dental office– from examining patients’ records and digital X-rays on the laptop, to studying a new medication a patient is taking, to showing a YouTube video on proper flossing techniques on your iPad. The incorporation of technology in dentistry has improved the way we help our patients, and we have begun to notice the results. (Health Care #)
You know they're right. Yet for one reason or another, you're not running antivirus software, or you are but it's not up to date. Maybe you turned off your virus scanner because it conflicted with another program. Maybe you got tired of upgrading after you bought Norton Antivirus 2001, 2002, and 2003. Or maybe your annual subscription of virus definitions recently expired, and you've put off renewing.
At the Aim Higher College there have been recently discovered malware on the campus systems that are due to many recent attacks. I used an Anti-virus protection software called AVG on the computer systems on campus and ran a whole computer scan. The results came back very quick of numbers of malware being high and medium priorities that these should not be taken lightly. Furthermore, the scan found many viruses, Trojans, and malicious software and applications.
News of source code theft jolted the software industry on February 12, 2004.2 Cyber criminals had stolen source code from Windows 2000 and Windows NT4.0. Windows 2000 and NT are the platforms on which the widely used home operating system of today, Windows XP, is based on. Luckily, only a small portion of code was stolen. Not nearly enough to build the entire Windows operating system. Through the use of peer-to-peer networking, the code was distributed in an underground hacker network. Eventually the source was spread onto public-access web sites, by which Microsoft confirmed the code was, indeed, real Windows code.
Ongoing research linking oral health and general health will continue to spur the demand for preventative dental services, which dental hygienists often provide. New and increasingly accurate technologies to help diagnose oral health problems are also expected to increase demand. Example: new tests use saliva samples that a hygienist takes to spot early signs of oral cancer. As their practices expand, dentists will hire more hygienists to perform routine dental care, allowing the dentist to see more patients

All practicing dentists, dental associates, and laboratories follow standard precautions and recommendations specified by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). The standard precautions, previously known as the universal standard precautions, focus on the perception that all blood and bodily fluids, regardless if they contain blood, such as saliva, may be contaminated and should be considered infectious. (Bebermeyer). The infection control methods that are practiced in dental offices were established by the CDC in 2003 with Guidelines for Infection Control in Dental Healthcare Settings (Kohn). These guidelines include the use of protective barriers, personal protective w...
