Fake Antivirus programs are becoming a very serious issue. Trend Micro reports that they are “… August’s top malware…” and this has continued for the first two weeks of September (Link omitted intentionally, see “Rogue AV Theatrics on Extended Run” at blog.trendmicro.com by Macky Cruz). These programs are after you, they want to take your money and your identity. They simply use your computer to ask for your personal information and your credit card data.

A short recipe of deploying Virtual Desktop (VDI) and a sample of cost savings with some of VDI's benfients.

 Citrix’s move to make their Citrix XenServer free does make sense.

A roadmap for IT professionals takes advantage of many benefits of virtualization. Desktop virtualization, or virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), is a wonderful solution if your business requirements meet its capabilities. For example, a new application that exceeds the hardware resources of the installed workstation profile can be implemented on VDI and prevent major hardware/labor investments in the desktop. The deployment of a prohibitively expensive application can also be achieved via VDI by reducing the per seat license cost if all users do not need concurrent access.
