Working in an office, I'm always mindful of keeping my computer safe on our open network. I avoid suspicious sites, don't download music, and rigorously follow my adware and virus protection routine. Every Monday, while downloading weekend emails and catching up on my colleagues' adventures, I update my virus definitions and thoroughly scan my computer for threats.
Having survived another workweek, I indulge in a treat by taking my best friend to a quaint sushi bar nearby. The fiery performances and fresh sushi temporarily make me forget the backlog at the office.
Returning to work, I found my spyware scan was complete, congratulating me on having a clean computer. For someone who works online all day, reliable adware protection is crucial. Although wary of free adware software recommended by colleagues, I'd been using the top two anti-adware programs available for two months without issue?"until everything went wrong.
It was Friday, with the weekend in sight. My boss was eagerly discussing his upcoming date, and amid the chatter, my inbox began to fill. Suddenly, everything went blue?"not just my screen, but every computer on the network. We were completely down, no work could be done.
Come Monday, the boss was frustrated. His date was missed while he tried to resolve the network chaos, and there was no second chance. My slip-up had put me in the hot seat. It turned out that one of the adware programs I had downloaded had maliciously filled our network with spyware.
A weekend without sales, a missed date, and plenty of stress?"all because of my mistake. Unsurprisingly, I'm no longer in charge of spyware and adware protection at the office. The tech team, who spent their weekend fixing my error, installed a new, reliable adware solution. I no longer adjust any settings, and I'm perfectly content with that.
Thankfully, the boss eventually calmed down, seeing the humor in the situation, and I still have my job. I've learned my lesson and view it as a valuable experience.
My advice to anyone working online is to be cautious about what you download. Software intended to protect can sometimes do the opposite! You can find the Adware Protector we now use at [realtimesolutions.info](http://www.realtimesolutions.info).
