CNET editors' picks for security
By Christopher Null (updated April 13, 2004)

The word MSBlast is enough to strike fear into the heart of any small-business owner. But as is the case with many computer security problems, this recent outbreak could've been easily prevented with good practices and the right software and hardware. Here's what you need to know to keep your business up and running.

How to buy security for your business

The desktop disinfectants
The first line of defense for any PC is a good antivirus program. Fortunately, there are plenty to choose from; here are some of our top picks.
Build a wall around your PC
To complete your software security suite, you need a personal firewall program, which can prevent hackers from getting in--and from taking any of your sensitive business data out.
Wireless gateways with firewalls
Most wireless gateway/routers are equipped with hardware firewalls. This makes them a simple, affordable way to enhance security when installing a wireless network.
