In some cases viruses crippled key systems such as e-mail for more than a day while companies cleaned up.

It also found that the worst outbreaks can take up to 50 days to fix.

Almost 25% of those surveyed said they had no defences in place to protect them against spyware. As a result one in seven of the most serious incidents were caused by machines infected with spyware.

Google Page Creator Friday, February 24th, 2006

 

Basically this lets you create a web page from within an Internet browser and publish it straight to the Internet.

Apparently 45% of Small Business still don’t have a website.

I have my doubts that Google Pages is the right solution, but its free and if you have never made a page on the internet then give it a go.

Today is launch day and they wont be accepeting any new customers (today). This happens with new services a lot . Try again in a few days.
