Security without having to sweat it

In business, few things can be as frustrating – not to mention expensive – as losing your data. From lost laptops to failed backups, insufficient data protection can cost you plenty. But there’s no reason to leave your business vulnerable.

When you upgrade to Windows 7 Professional and Office 2010 Professional Plus from earlier versions of that software you gain enhanced security and backup capabilities to help both reduce risk and safeguard your work.

Advanced backup and restore

Let’s say your PC was lost, or crushed by a run-a-way steamroller, or swamped by a late night cup of coffee. With Windows 7 Professional and Office 2010 Professional Plus, you have Advanced Backup and Restore, which makes it easier to ensure that your data is backed up to external or network drives. So you can recover it all in just a few clicks. Which is bound to have you breathing a sigh of relief.

Office 2010 even lets you recover files that you close without saving – which helps you avoid all the hassle and expense of recreating lost work.

File encryption technology

What if someone were to steal your laptop containing credit card numbers, employee files, or sensitive competitive information? With Encrypting File system, you can encrypt files on your PC to help keep it safe. You can also set controls on who’s allowed to access and print what – helping to guard against abuse of your critical business IP.

Anti-virus protection

When you run Windows 7 Professional on your PCs, you can also take advantage of Microsoft Security Essentials. This complementary* download helps protect up to 10 PCs against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. It’s simple to install, easy to use, and updates automatically to enhance your PC with the latest Microsoft technology – without the hassle of having to do it yourself.
