Now, for the magic question - How secure is it? Again, we turn to Sunbelt Software Support Manager Mike Williams.
"Well, that all depends on the service provider. Your information and applications are stored on their hardware and connected to their network, so security falls completely in their hands.
"Personally, I feel that storage is cheap and I feel safer storing my own data and protecting it locally; with programs such as VIPRE and the Sunbelt Personal firewall."
Security best practices should always be followed whether you are dealing in the cloud or staying computer based. Keep your definitions up to date on your AV (antivirus) and AS (antispyware), make sure your security patches are in place, and don't download the unknown.
