            <description><![CDATA[Tired of the challenges and increasing costs of running server and network infrastructure, some of our customers have asked us to develop a centralised computing environment for them, hosted in a high availability data centre.<br />
<br />
This is particularly suited to multi-site practices, specialists operating from multiple locations, or any practice that doesn't want to manage their own servers.<br />

            <title>On-line backups - finally an affordable option</title>
            <link>http://www.mobilecomputing.net.au/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=33</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Until recently, on-line backups have not been a sensible option for Australian business. Internet speed was not fast enough to get through a large backup in a reasonable period of time. Technology has moved on though, and online backups are now worth considering, due to the combination of readily available ADSL2 broadband (at least in major population areas) and the release of cheap mass storage through large data centres like Amazon S3.<br />
<br />
We're installing on-line backups for many clients now and suggest this as a good secondary backup system. It's also an easy way to share documents and other data "in the cloud" between sites, or between home and the surgery.<br />

            <link>http://www.mobilecomputing.net.au/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=31</link>
            <description><![CDATA[There are two kinds of free software available on the Internet. Unfortunately much free software comes with all the worst intentions, and can result in virus or malware infections.<br />
<br />
There is however a large range of free software whose authors choose to give it away for positive reasons. We're going to be regularly reviewing some of these products in an effort to support these projects and improve our users computing experience.<br />
<br />
Today's free software pick is Teracopy.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[If you have an error on your computer, it helps Tech support to see exactly what it looks like. Rather than writing down long error messages, it's easy to take a screen shot (a picture of the screen) and send this through e-mail.<br />

            <title>Anti-Virus Test 2008</title>
            <link>http://www.mobilecomputing.net.au/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=29</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Unfortunately every Windows based computer connected to any other data source is vulnerable to virus and malware infection.<br />
<br />
Unsure of whether to trust the Anti-Virus recommendations provided by “Independent” testing labs, I decided to do my own.<br />
<br />
After the process was completed, I found a new respect for these testing labs. The tests I have done are not comprehensive. To do so would take much more time and many more resources. Even repeating an identical process would not give consistent results, as these infections grow organically. I draw my conclusions not just on the numbers but on the feel of each product and the state of the computer after the testing was complete.<br />
<br />
I configured a virtual machine with a fresh copy of Windows XP, updated it to the latest version, and proceeded to fill it up with viruses and malware by visiting the dark side of the Internet, logged in as an administrator and clicking on all the nasty looking stuff I could find.<br />

            <title>Mac malware discovered on the Internet</title>
            <link>http://www.mobilecomputing.net.au/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=28</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Given the recent popularity of the Macintosh system, it was only a matter of time until we were going to see it targeted by the virus / trojan writers.<br />
<br />
There are now at least two known exploits circulating on the Internet. Each of them requires the download and execution of dodgy looking files, but as OS/X has until now been free of serious malware, users may not be wary of potential exploits.<br />
