VIRUS PROTECTION

Anti Virus software is critical for every computer. Viruses come to you in many forms and many ways. Your computer can be infected in a variety of ways including sharing disks, email, macros in documents and even while browsing the web.

Many people think that just because you have virus software installed on your computer, you are safe …right? Wrong! There are new viruses coming out on a daily basis.

Your computer needs to be updated with new “virus definitions” to combat these new and destructive viruses. We can make sure that your computer has a regular automated schedule to run virus checks and get the updates from the internet as needed.

For larger networks we can install a centralised anti virus server to ensure the highest possible protection.

EXTERNAL EMAIL SCANNING SERVICE

Due to the ever increasing threat from email viruses we also recommend an email scanning service such as the one available from Message Labs. Message Labs is the leading provider of managed email security services to businesses worldwide.

Email security is not just about installing software at the server and PC level. These solutions are only effective once a virus has been discovered and precautions taken. By that time the damage can already have been done - remember the Love Bug virus. By the time most people had heard about it, it was already too late and many computers had been brought down.

The most effective solution is one that sits outside your network and can eliminate email threats, both inbound and outbound, outside the boundaries of your network and before they reach you.
