Although this is not a particular threat to the consumer market, ARSTechnica discusses an infection that has infected dozens of federal governments, and worse, has had infections installed for over five years.

This highlights the overall insecurity of the PC market, and why we feel so strongly about what we do here at XVU. If the national governments – with all of their highly trained IT staff and security protocols – of countries like the U.S., Russia, India, and the majority of Europe, can all not only be infected, but also have the infection undetected for over half a decade, what chance do you, I, or any average computer user stand against these “best of the best” hackers?

This is why we firmly believe in our product. Although you should have AV on your computer, it’s not enough. You should have a firewall at least on your computer, but that’s not enough. The best way to ensure that you’re not infected and transmitting your bank account information, credit card information, or sensitive information in general is to boot a completely separate operating system that has virtually no chance of infection.

We’re constantly working on new technology that will make security easier, faster, and more widely accepted. Feel free to contact us if you have any ideas on ways we can improve our product or your experience. Also, don’t forget to like our Facebook page and tell your friends so they can get protected as well. Keeping the internet safe is up to all of us.
