A New Year's Resolution That's Easy To Keep
With New Year's here, we all will be making a bunch of
resolutions. None of which we will end up keep through the month
of January, much less the entire year. But delete4good.com has a
New Year's resolution for you that you would be wise to keep.
This year you should make a New Year's resolution to protect
your privacy. And delete4good.com wants to show you how to make
it happen. And we want you to keep this resolution this year and
from now on.
I am astonished at the statistics concerning identity theft. The
2005 numbers aren't in yet but, in 2004 over 9.9 million
Americans had their identity stolen. And if history repeats
itself, well over 10 million will have their identity stolen in
2005.
Yet, only a small number of us do anything to protect our most
valuable asset-our identity.
According to Forrester Research, 27% of the small scale
companies do not even bother to use an anti-spyware software.
Webroot's State of Spyware 2Q 2005, revealed that 33% of
corporate PCs were infected with spyware. And, nearly 80% of
home PCs are infected with spyware.
The first thing that you need to do is buy a high quality
spyware and adware detection and removal program.
Delete4good.com recommends two great products.
Then, the best way that you can stick to this New Year's
resolution is make it part of your budget. That is of course
assuming that you have a budget. Either way, just sock away $10
a month to put towards protecting your privacy.
At the end of the year you will have $120 committed to
protecting your identity. That's a great start. Assuming that
you purchase one of the programs that delete4good.com has
recommended, you will have plenty of money left over. Each year
you can upgrade your spyware/adware detection and removal
software plus purchase other items to help protect your
identity. Those items can include a locking mailbox to protect
thieves from stealing your mail or a good paper shredder to
destroy all of personal information.
Two other items that everyone should have is a good fireproof
locking box or safe and a locking filing cabinet. They are
cheaper than you think.
More and more people are beginning to realize the importance of
being proactive when it comes to thiner privacy. A great way for
you to do something about protecting your privacy right now is
to make it a New Year's resolution. And delete4good.com would
like to see you stick to your resolution.
By setting aside just a few dollars a month you can ensure that
your most important asset, your identity, is protected in 2006
and from now on.
