what is the different between business partnerships and support services?

Q. please also write the definition of it.

A. Business partnerships are vital to small businesses and are a bi-directional trade or strategic alignments that benefit both organisations.

Support services are also vital to small business. Most suppliers usually provide support for products or services that they provide. ie. An online helpdesk service for software that has been purchased

how can u stop others from getting in ur emails?
Q.

A. there are several things you can do to prevent unauthorized access to your email --

1. regularly update your:
a. operating system - make sure you have the latest patches
b. anti-virus software - ensure you have the latest virus definitions installed
c. anti-spyware - make sure to have latest spyware updates

2. create passphrases instead of passwords; they're more difficult to crack, and i strongly recommend you put in some mixed-case letters, numbers, and other symbols, e.g., "r3dR@bb1t"

3. do not reveal, for any reason, or to anybody, your email password. system administrators and helpdesks do not need to know your password. if they have to ask, it's most likely they're doing some social engineering and trying to get into your account illegally

4. change your password at most every 45 days; change as often as 14 days

5. the most difficult password is useless if it's written down in a sticky note on your desk, or worse, on your computer screen. try memorizing your password; if this is not possible and you have to write it down, keep it in a secure place.

one of the easiest way to remember passwords (even if you keep changing them) is to create a base passphrase and generate permutations, e.g., "r3dR@bb1t", "P1nKr@bbit", "ra88170R@ng3"

6. physically secure your computing devices -- password-protect your computers, PDAs, mobile phones, etc.; also, do not walk away from an open computer, always lock your computer either manually (ctrl-alt-del on windows) or automatically through a short-timed screen saver

7. if you suspect your email account has been accessed by an unauthorized source, notify immediately the email service desk or system administrator and change your password.

these pointers are not limited to securing your email account but encompasses information security in general.

hope this helps.

Your best PC protection layout (Virus/Firewall/Malware/Adware/Spyware/etc.)?
Q. Here's the bottom line.... I don't want to pay an annual fee for anything. I wouldn't have a problem with paying a one time fee for a product that covers the lifetime of 2 computers & has unlimited product updates and virus definitions. I need full deep scans of course & also real time protection & start up / shut down scans.

My Ideal layout:
1 - ONE Virus/Firewall/Email scanner program (One time fee)
2. - ONE PC "Speed up" cleaner (Registry/Cache/Cookies/Temp/useless files) - I use Wise 365 and it's awesome!! No help needed here :)
3. ONE Anti malware/spyware/adware/etc. Program (One time fee)

And that's it.... not 20 programs that all do different things.

So what do you Geeks do? What's your best simple & effective setup that you always rely on?
Which programs do you recommend purchasing?
Thanks!!

A. Avast Free for antivirus. NO such thing as a Lifetime license for a antivirus, sorry

Malwarebytes' Pro-One time fee for $24.95 US for a lifetime license. They do offer discounts if you need more than 1 license

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is not meant to be a replacement for antivirus software. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a complementary but essential program which detects and removes zero-day malware and "Malware in the Wild". This includes malicious programs and files, such as viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits, dialers, spyware, and rogue applications that many antivirus programs do not detect or cannot fully remove. It is important to note that Malwarebytes Anti-Malware works well and should run alongside antivirus software without conflicts. Plays very well with Avast!
