Set Up Your Desk to Work for You

Spending 8 hours a day at your desk is a long time and becoming our second home, so it makes sense to make sure it’s set up to work for you and not interrupt that creativity flow.

When not visiting clients and meeting in our communal space, we are working form home and so we’ve tried to make the most of our space to work for us. Here are some tips to help you set up your desk whether it be in the office, at home or wherever you are setting up for the day.

Myth Busted: Mac's Don't Get Viruses

/

A common IT myth that we like busting, is that "Macs don't get viruses."

Now the term "virus" is not used as often these days. Malware is the preferred umbrella term, simply because there are more threats than just viruses. Adware, ransomware, spyware, potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), to name a few.

In 2019 Macs saw an average of 11 threats per endpoint, to 5.8 threats for Windows machines, meaning threats for Macs per endpoint outnumbered Windows computers by 2 to 1. This is up 400 per cent from 2018.

The majority of Mac threats reported are Adware or PUPs, which are less harmful than say a ransomware attack, however, they are threats nonetheless, and adware is also the biggest threat to Windows computers.

With the increase of Mac users, it's no surprise that there is an increase in the number of threats.

So, Mac users, if you don't already have an antivirus, or better still, a complete security suite, please get one!
