The top reasons to outsource your IT are:

• Save Money - most small businesses do not have a need to hire a full-time employee to manage their servers and workstations.  You can save significantly in wages, benefits, and many other factors that come from having an additional employee that on many days will end up sitting around.
• Save Time and be more Productive – many small businesses have their CEO or employees that are more technical handle their IT.  As a small business owner, you need to focus on your core competencies and outsource your IT to a professional that can handle issues as they arise efficiently and professionally.
• Fast Emergency Computer Support – when the need arise for Emergency Computer Support, your company can be at a stand still and you lose productivity and ultimately money as every minute goes by.  Outsource your IT Department and you receive many years of experience from the IT Professional as most likely they have seen the problem that you are having with other customers.  You receive fast and prompt solutions in order for your company and employees to keep on running!
• Specialized IT Services- there are many instances in which you will need to hire an IT Professional to do services that are more technical than your in-house employee can offer.  Some examples of these services are thing as setting up a secure VPN Tunnel, setting up a new domain for your business, installing a firewall, and much more.

There are many services that small businesses try to do on their own that ultimately end up being much more expensive then simply outsourcing their IT.  For example web/email hosting on your own server.  The cost to outsource this is very minimal and you avoid the headaches from maintaining, updating, and keeping your server running 24×7.

Recently after installing AVG for a client, they noticed things got slower on the internet or web pages would hang. The cause of this problem was that they had installed AVG 2011 – Free Edition and the Link Scanner portion of the product was enabled.    If you notice this problem, you can fix it by doing the following:

If you wish to uninstall the LinkScanner component from AVG 2011 Free Edition, please proceed as follows:

• Download the AVG 2011 Free Edition installation package from the AVG website or you can also find it at www.download.com.
• Run the installation file by double-clicking on it.
• Proceed through the installation wizard and in the Select Setup Type window please select the Add or remove components option.
• Then proceed through the steps of the wizard to reach the Component Selection window and uncheck the LinkScanner component.
• Afterwards complete the rest of the steps of the installation wizard. The LinkScanner component will be removed from AVG.

If there is no AVG on your computer yet, then please proceed this way:

• Download the AVG 2011 Free Edition installation package from our website or you can also find it at www.download.com.
• Run the installation file by double-click.
• Proceed through the installation wizard and in the Select Installation Type window please select the Custom installation option.
• When you reach the Component Selectionwindow, uncheck the LinkScanner component.
• Finish the installation wizard. AVG will be installed without the LinkScannercomponent.

This should fix the problem caused by the Link Scanner portion of AVG.  :-)
