Did You Know???

Even the most reliable system is subject to problems arising from user mistakes, lost files, virus attacks, software bugs and unwanted hanges. With the PCArmour System Recovery Card installed, nothing ill change your PC unless you want it to be changed.

It is inevitable
Each time your computer crashes, the resulting lost productivity, wasted man-hours and missed deadlines, greatly add to your company costs. The outlay in time and effort devoted to system recovery, in addition to business productivity losses, can place a heavy burden on the financial resources of your enterprise. In addition, with today's tight market schedules, dependence on technology makes it tremendously critical to control, or - better - prevent damages caused by computer failures. One main advantage of increasing computer capabilities is that multiple software application functions can be incorporated onto a small piece of hardware. However, software crashes, misuse and power glitches often cause computer down time. The complexity of today's software demands considerable recovery time for reinstallation and reconfiguration. Dependence on computers makes timing critical, and computer failures have a tremendously negative impact on productivity. Waiting hours and days for service engineers to bring computers back to working condition is simply no longer an option. Computer maintenance is a constant struggle and the IT industry or IT department of any organization can no longer afford down time in "mission critical" services. Today's existing backup and recovery solutions do not efficiently prevent computer down time. Procedures such as image cloning, policy restrictions and "undo solutions" require complex configuration and operation, place limitations on user flexibility by blocking access to files and directories, and consume vast amounts of resources (handling time, HDD space, RAM and computer performance).

PCARMOUR SYSTEM RECOVERY CARD enables user to recover their computers easily, quickly and completely, by merely RESTARTING the PC. This prevents disruptive down time required for troubleshooting, eliminates endless service calls and hours of restoration of back-up files, and ends wasted human resource time reconfiguring complex setups, all without adversely affecting productivity. By implementing PCArmour System Recovery Card's solutions, IT Administrators can significantly reduce computer down time and business losses, thereby increasing the amount of time and human resources that can be allocated to more critical and higher priority tasks.

Failures PCARMOUR CARD Instantly Recovers

Research indicates that most computer failures are related to operating systems and applications. IT engineers are often required to undo accidental or other errors that cause a system to malfunction. The following common failures are instantly and automatically recovered by PCArmour System Recovery Card.

Program Disruption - Crashed operating systems or Windows Registry (the notorious "blue screen"), unsuccessful software installation, and a host of other "hanging" incidents - including system boot-up failure. Data Loss - Ranging from single file deletion to erased CMOS setup data and hard disk reformat. File Corruption - Damage to data or program files, whether from viruses, power failures, or other mishap. Changed Configuration - Altered system settings or program configurations, damage caused by malicious scripts or worms, illegal program installations, or changes inadvertently made by an inexperienced user. Cluttered Disk Space - Recoverable space taken up by temporary files and remnants of Uninstall programs, resulting in reduced efficiency. Unauthorized Access - illegal program installations by employees or tampering that can wreak havoc on a complex system.

Do not be SLAVE to your IT systems, let SYSTEMS work for you, NOT the other way round !

Anti-Hacking and Network Security Protection

PCARMOUR SYSTEM RECOVERY CARD not ONLY able to protect users PC from being damaged by logical problems, it also helps PC users to fight against the ever-increasing problem of known and unknown viruses, Internet worms and Trojans attacks as well as the never-ending threats of hacking and security nowadays. In short, PCARMOUR SYSTEM RECOVERY CARD able to cover the WEAKEST link in network security - the END USER! Network security for any organization is actually only as good as the weakest link no matter how much investment we had made to secure it. In todays e-commerce world, corporations tend to rely purely on expensive firewalls, IDS, IPS, Anti Virus, etc. to secure their networks. Companies allocate huge budget in purchasing expensive network security solutions from those "giant" names like Cisco, IBM, CheckPoint, McAfee, Symantec, etc. and forget or ignore the fact that - end user awareness or readiness is the MOST critical factor in securing our networks other than infrastructure design or investment. Unfortunately, we can only REDUCE the risk but not eliminate entirely security problems.

A Reliable Solution For Most PC Problems

Cyber attack comes in many forms,Distributed Denial Service (DDOS) is one of them.
Trojans turn unprotected PCs into spam zombies!

The Internet has become indispensable to business. While computer networks revolutionize the way we do business, the risks computer networks introduce can be fatal to a business. Network attacks lead to lost: money time reputation sensitive information, etc.

Trojans

In today's fragile Internet environment, news on security breaches or hacking can be found almost Trojans every day partly due to vast availability of hacking tools that can be obtained FOC from the Net. Unfortunately, most of the companies still will not put ensuring network security as top priorities since the return of investment (ROI) for security solutions cant yield immediate economic result compare with money spent on other company's resources. Security always has been taken as a second thought issue, actions only will be taken AFTER the web server being hacked, data being stolen, PC systems corrupted, network and the entire IT systems down; for instances. Now with implementation of a simple yet effective solution like PCArmour System Recovery Card, system down time caused by virus or hackers can be overcome effectively. More time and resources can be channeled to productive works to increase company's productivity in long run. Also, company reputation will be well protected if customer's sensitive data are well protected and secured. Users will NOT be required to go through costly ICT training to get their IT systems protected. Substantial amount of money can be saved because company doesnt need to renew the traditional (but no guarantee will be 100% effective) AntiVirus software solution, and etc. In the global ecommerce environment nowadays, it is NOT an issue of whether can a company afford to have something implemented to protect their PC systems, but it is a question of whether they can afford NOT to have an effective solution to ensure continuity of their business!

Microsoft Warns of New Security Threat

System monitoring programs, called rootkits, may pose a serious danger to your PC!
(Paul Roberts, IDG News Service, Thursday, February 17, 2005)

Microsoft security researchers are warning about a new generation of powerful system monitoring programs, or "rootkits," that are almost impossible to detect using current security products and that could pose a serious risk to corporations and individuals..
* The term rootkit is used to describe the mechanisms and techniques whereby malware, including viruses, spyware, and trojans, attempt to hide their presence from spyware blockers, antivirus, and system management utilities.
