According to a Norton research study(1), more than half of small business owners, 59 percent, have experienced some sort of malware in the past three years, and more than half of those owners, 51 percent, had to pay a professional technology consultant to repair their computers as a result. NortonLive Ultimate Help Desk offers small business owners an affordable 24x7 service from a trusted source to keep IT costs low and productivity high without having to leave the office for help.
"For years, owners of small and home-based offices have trusted Norton products to help with their computer security needs," said Kevin Chapman, vice president and general manager, Worldwide Consumer Services, Symantec. "Now with NortonLive Ultimate Help Desk, small business owners can receive a level of support comparable to having their own IT person at the office, at a fraction of the cost.
