Comcast (that's right - COMCAST) Keeping Your PC Free

OK, it's a teaser headline, but only sort of.  Comcast's self-interests are really helpful sometimes, and I am shocked - shocked! that more people don't know this and help themselves out.

Enter: Comcast ConstantGuard

This program is offered to all Comcast Internet Subscribers (is that you?) and is a platform for Comcast to offer you services such as cloud backup, a snazzy toolbar, and the kind of identity protection formerly offered by many credit card services - in other words, stuff you either don't want or already have.  But there are still two good reasons to download the ConstantGuard:

1. ConstantGuard Mobile - an app for managing passwords securely on your Android or iPhone.
2. Norton Security Suite from Symantec can be installed through ConstantGuard completely free to the user, for as long as the account is active with Comcast.

The Norton Suite is especially important - you can install it on all of your computers, and you are prompted when your system needs some fixin.'  How do you fix?  You click the button marked 'fix' and that's that.

Lest you think this is not such a big deal, consider a recent attack by the ZeroAccess botnet, which Symantec discovered early on and defended against.   Over a half-million PCs targeted by this attack were defended successfully against the attack by the Security Suite updates.  The best part?  Those PC users didn't have to do anything, once the Security Suite was installed.

Got Comcast?  Get ConstantGuard.
