(FranBest.Com)  Here are two excellent software products I highly recommend.

TREND MICRO INTERNET SECURITY 2008
 I first became a fan of Trend Micro Internet Security software a few years back when I made the mistake of of emailing a computer virus to a few thousand eCommerce customers right before Christmas.  I had just upgraded and updated my Norton AntiVirus and run a complete scan on the email newsletter I was sending.   As soon as I sent the infected file I immediately received notices from Trend Micro Users that the file had been identified and blocked.  I downloaded Trend Micro Antivirus “PC-cillin” and it found and fixed deleted the infected file and virus Norton had missed.  I’ve used it ever since.

If you surf the Internet and send and receive emails, I strongly recommend Trend Micro Antivirus and Security software.  Click on the red box up above if you want the whole shebang:  Trend Micro (“PC-cillin”) Internet Security 2008 suite, which includes Antivirus, Antispyware, Antispam, Antiphishing, Identity theft protection, Two-way firewall and Parental Control software.  It’ll update itself continually to keep the bad guys out.  It’s $49.95 for a year and worth every penny.

If you’re cheap like me you can get by with just the AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware software, which, if you use the link below and use the coupon code you can get for only $39.95 for a full year of protection with unlimited updates.  Great deal on great software: 

20% Off – 1 YR- Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware 2008 – Coupon Code: TrendAVS08.

CONSTANT CONTACT EMAIL MARKETING & LIST MANAGEMENT
I also learned never to send bulk email or newsletters from my personal or business email accounts.  Use one of the inexpensive email newsletter management services online, such as Constant Contact.  FranBest readers can take advantage of the free trial offer.  Check it out:
