Achieving Internet Security on a computer often involves an elaborate web of Firewalls, Antiviruses, Trojan Horse removers, Worm Removers, Spyware removers and security updates, all of which must be constantly maintained and work together seamlessly.

Despite such protection measures, over time computers can still get bogged down with threats which are not covered by the Internet security programs’ threat definition databases. If the protection software has not been taught to recognize a new threat, it cannot protect against it.

As a result, it is impossible to completely protect a Windows PC online.

One way around the problem is to use a secure Hosted Online Desktop for online activities and important work. At the push of a button, you can exchange your car (regular desktop), for a tank whenever you need to visit the war zone (the Internet) or work securely with private information.

There are several advantages to this approach to Internet security

Hosted Online Desktops offer a convenient and cost-effective shortcut around the many Internet security headaches of working online. Users can then focus on their work instead of worrying who might be watching or what threat may be hidden in that website.
