Most business owners realize that there is nothing that provides greater risk to both their computer's uptime and their data than spyware,viruses, and trojans. At one time, the risk was that data would be deleted by these unwelcome guests. Today the greater risk is that data will be stolen and you will not know it until it's too late. Protecting your data is not something that can be left to chance.  It not only places your business at risk of identity type theft, but may place you at risk of litigation from customers who have had information exposed. Many business owners do not realize how important it is to not only keep subscriptions current, but also to use the current versions of antivirus and antispyware. It is common to find that subscriptions have expired and the program is several years old. Data security is something that needs to be trusted to someone who understands it and is constantly monitoring it.
