Remember when the Internet was a safe, happy, friendly place? Not so much today. For example, according to an AOL/Cyber Security Alliance study, 80% of all home computers are infected with spyware and adware. Get the proper defense with GatewayShield's Internet protection.

Just Say No to Viruses and Spyware:
McAfee® Internet Security Suite
Take up arms in the ongoing battle against viruses, worms, spyware, phishing and hackers! After all, your computer is where you store important information, from financial data to precious family photos. Don't risk losing files or falling prey to identity theft. And don't suffer through poor PC performance, which can be caused by spyware and adware.

The solution for home and small business users? McAfee® Internet Security Suite. This security software bundle automatically scans files, e-mail attachments and Internet downloads for malicious activity. Plus, automated daily updates mean you're always protected from the latest threats. The suite includes: VirusScan, Personal Firewall Plus, SpamKiller and Privacy Service.

The Professional Solution:
Symantec™ Client Security (SCS)
For professional use, there's Symantec™ Client Security (SCS). This software solution comprehensively and proactively protects enterprise client systems from security risks and network intrusions, such as blended threats, spyware, unauthorized network access and mass-mailer attacks.

Management and administration are simple, too, allowing organizations to maintain control of client systems, minimize productivity disruptions and enhance client security. And did someone say firewall? Firewall configurations are optimized to minimize setup and provide protection as soon as possible.

Updates for Even More Security: BigFix® Upgrade Utility
Staying on top of operating system and utility updates is an important part of maintaining computer security. The handy BigFix® Upgrade Utility remembers to update so you don't have to—it automatically performs OS and utility updates.

Nearly 1 million computer users have been victims of identity theft fraud.¹ What's more, there was an estimated $5.4 billion (yep, that's billion) in proprietary information theft in 2004.² Data needs to be safe and secure, whether it's personal or business-related. And data is something that GatewayShield vigilantly protects.

Data Defender: TPM
A security chip that's bound to a computer's motherboard—and that can't be removed—TPM stands for Trusted Platform Module. It provides enhanced protection against information exposure for professional systems. Among other things, TPM:

• • encrypts data and files to defend against hackers
• • authenticates and protects user passwords
• • offers network authentication
• • safeguards e-mail communications and file transfers

Besides the TPM chip, TPM software is required to manage the chip. That's where EMBASSY® Trust Suite Gateway Edition comes in. This extensive software suite includes three applications: EMBASSY® Security Center (setting up and managing preferences for TPM), Security Wizards (additional hardware security) and Private Information Manager (password protection and management).

Delete It: Computrace® Complete
In addition to protecting hardware with remote tracking (see below), Absolute Software's Computrace®Complete also can protect your business's data. An optional data delete feature will wipe valuable data from a stolen notebook. Even if you eventually get your notebook back, Computrace®Complete lets you be proactive so that the thief doesn't have access to sensitive information in the meantime.

Extra Security for Your Data: Gateway Complete Security Suite II
The more data security the better, right? With Gateway Complete Security Suite II for home and small business users, you get that added layer of protection that can make all the difference. Personal Data Vault encrypts and
password-protects your data, providing a single, secure place to store your sensitive information. Recover Pro works to ensure that applications and data can be recovered in case of virus attack, accidental file overwrite or Windows failure.

And that's not all: Gateway Complete Security Suite II also includes Window Washer, which removes unnecessary files to maintain your privacy and free up valuable disk space, and Spy Sweeper, which fights against spyware and adware.

Sobering fact No. 1: According to Safeware Insurance, every 53 seconds a notebook gets stolen. Sobering fact No. 2: The FBI reports that 97% of all stolen computers are never recovered. GatewayShield includes robust security features that will help keep your hardware where it belongs—with you.

Lockdown: Reinforced Lock Slots
Don't overlook an old-school security solution: a good old-fashioned lock. Gateway® notebooks, desktops and flat-panel displays (and some servers) come with reinforced lock slots at no additional cost. With a cable lock, such as a Kensington lock, in place, you can then loop the cable through a secure fixture and lock to your computer.

To Catch a Notebook Thief: Computrace®Complete
But if your notebook does go missing, what then? Absolute Software's Computrace®Complete is a theft recovery service embedded into a notebook's BIOS—that's Basic Input/Output System, which is built into the motherboard and is responsible for starting up your computer.³

When you purchase a notebook with a Computrace®Complete subscription through Gateway, Absolute Software will contact you and provide instructions on downloading and activating the necessary software. Once that's done, the location of a notebook can be tracked every time it tries to connect to the Internet. If someone steals your notebook, Absolute Software's Monitoring Center will work with law enforcement officials to track and recover it.

Computrace®Complete is meant for professional and business environments. It also allows IT departments to monitor who's using their computers, as well as detect unauthorized software and hardware changes.

Return to Owner: Computrace® LoJack® for Laptops
Home PC users, however, can take advantage of Computrace® LoJack® for Laptops. Instead of BIOS integration, though, it's a software-based theft recovery service that otherwise works similar to Computrace®Complete. Install the software, and if your notebook vanishes, you can work with Absolute Software to get it back.

Both Computrace®Complete and Computrace® LoJack® for Laptops offer the same security peace of mind. Even if your notebook mysteriously disappears, you can still get it back—and Absolute Software reports a more than 90% retrieval success rate.
