Some people turn on a brand new computer, connect to the Internet, and download anti-virus to the their new computer. When you think about it…

Imagine giving each of your team members a loaner computer every time they need to open a file that they download or receive as an attachment. The loaner computers won’t be connected to your network, so if a file is infected, ransomware and other viruses would not affect your network.

If your office has even one instance of a virus, ransomware, or any other kind of malware, that is a huge symptom.

Someone in your company receives a phone call, “This is Microsoft Technical Support. Your computer is infected with a virus.” They call back 50 more times after you tell them no.
