Additional Software - Anti-virus Protection

Modern photographers need to be multiskilled -able not only to visualize a photograph, but also capable of handling the computer resources required to make the most of the resulting images. The remarkable fact is that, for a relatively modest outlay, anyone can produce professional-looking brochures, booklets, posters, and Web sites, provided you have the extra software.

Protection
- it does not take long for your computer contents to represent a considerable investment in money, time, and effort - one worth protecting from computer viruses. Windows PC users are vulnerable if they surf the Net or share files with other PC users. While Mac viruses are not as destructive, they can still cause lost time. All computers should have virus-protection software. Other software to monitor the state of the hard-disk or aid file recovery after a crash or other problem can also be useful. Consult computer magazines for the latest software, as new types are frequently introduced. Well-known examples |$ include Norton Utilities, TechTools, FWB Tool Kit, and McAfee Disk First Aid.

- a virus attack may not be obvious: your computer may simply become unreliable or slow. Avoid uncertainty by installing and using virus protection software, especially Windows users.

Anti-virus
- anti-virus software such as Norton Antivirus or NA Virex can slow down operations -a small price for the protection provided. To maintain its use¬fulness, you need to update the database - usually by downloading an updater file from the Internet Remember to turn off virus protection when installing new software.
