ProTech is proactive; a layered set of award-winning low-cost (and free) software utilities that solve existing problems and prevent future troubles, greatly enhancing the stability and security of PC’s running Microsoft’s Windows 2000 or Windows XP.

ProTech is smart; its layered sets of safeguards arise from the understanding that different threats target different vulnerabilities. The days of the “Moat around the Castle” concept (the firewall between you and the Internet) being enough are over. Your browser – probably Microsoft’s Internet Explorer – allows spyware and so-called “drive-by downloads” to silently install while you browse, right through your firewall.

There is no “silver bullet”, no single product that makes a PC secure and reliable. Simply put, each layer reinforces the other, creating a whole that is much greater than the sum of its parts.

ProTech is simple; we understand that complexity is a friend to instability and insecurity. Simple systems tend to be more reliable and secure, complex systems are less so. ProTech values clear documentation – important information presented in a consistent, concise manner.

ProTech is affordable; designed for individuals and small to mid-sized business with limited budgets and very limited access to serious I.T. expertise, ProTech is a common sense system, requiring very little ongoing attention once installed. It makes excellent use of the best top-rated software utilities in the world - free or low-cost products that protect against known and unknown threats nicely, with very low ongoing costs.

ProTech is a “No-Brainer”; chances are - if you had spent thousands of hours troubleshooting and resolving PC problems - you would clearly understand these issues and choose the same set of products and utilities. ProTech benefits small businesses by providing them affordable stability and security.

The Critical Layers of ProTech:

• ProTech’s desktop management console; provides easy access to each software component, system monitoring, documentation, news and alerts
• Anti-virus software – an inexpensive or free must-have for every PC
• Anti-spyware software – another inexpensive must-have for every PC
• Anti-spam software – a free or top-rated commercial end to unwanted email
• A faster, more secure Internet browser – a wonderful, free security enhancer
• Microsoft’s new Service Pack 2 – free for Windows XP users
• A firewall, part of an award-winning security suite – a core component of ProTech addressing intrusion detection and prevention, identity theft, Instant Messaging and Peer-to-Peer network threats, and much more.
• For Windows XP users, the ability to “roll back the clock” to “reset” their PC to before the time when the trouble started – without losing data! This little-known feature is one reason ProTech recommends the upgrade to Windows XP.
