Viral opportunity with Anti Virus

Though working in the thick on digitial technologies, I had not realized the variety of jobs that the Internet is creating. The BBC had conducted a test a couple of months back where they set-up a test computer as a honey pot on the Internet to see what happens...it was attacked by hackers every 15 min!!

What that means is for every computer sold, every broadband connection sold, and going forward for every cellphone sold, there is an ongoing need for anti-virus and anti-abuse software.

Now while almost everyone is able to buy a computer and load it with anti-virus software, the problems start once the computer is attacked and when the anti-virus software would give out a variety of notices and action items. Most non-technical users are not confident to understand and proceed in the right direction. Clearly, there is a need for 'after-sales or maintenance service' with these products, because they get quite technical once they actually start their defensive work.

Last week, I saw this gap getting filled when someone distributed a flyer for 'repairing the and weekly/monthly health monitoring of the computer'. It quoted some facts from the same BBC test, and offered security service at just £5/month, or £50/yr - the service clearly targetted families with kids surfing the web, and older people. Hope Symantec and McAfee are tuned into this trend. Meanwhile, I need to speak with this creative person. More updates sometime later.
