Enterprise Membership Program
The Big Country Chapter of AITP is proud to present you a corporate membership program that will suit your organizational needs. The National AITP has developed the Enterprise Membership Program which provides a discount on national membership dues for companies willing to commit to a number of members. These Enterprise Memberships are transferable in case of employee turnover. By enrolling from three to nine members, each individual dues would be reduced from $105 to $90. For those organizations willing to commit to ten or more members, each individual dues would be reduced from $105 to $80. This is a great opportunity to enroll your staff in a growing, active, IT professional organization.

Vista Anti-Virus 2011 is a rogue anti-spyware program that uses false scan
results, fake infections, and fake security alerts to scare you into purchasing
the software. After you have paid for it, it of course does nothing.
System Tool 2011 is a notorious fake antivirus infection that's been designed by hackers to try and get you to buy the fake upgrade to the program on your PC. The virus that you're seeing on your PC will likely have been downloaded from some sort of fake Internet source including the likes of a rogue download, fake email attachment or malicious piece of software, and will now be causing all sorts of problems for your PC.
An online virus scanner might be effective in finding and removing these fake virus detection programs. I have used an online scanner called ESET.
