Anti Virus

The threat from viruses - in all their different forms - is one that can't be ignored. Home users, schools, public and private organisations are all just as likely to suffer the consequences of an 'infection' unless they have the right tools in place to detect and deal with them before the damage occurs. Over the last few years the visibility of viruses has drastically increased due to outbreaks such as Melissa, Love Bug, Nimda, Code Red and Sobig.F. Such outbreaks have caused incalculable damage to organisations from every business sector in terms of lost time, sales revenue and damage to reputation.

The market offers a huge variety of software vendors claiming to be able to solve the virus 'problem'. Such products cover areas from the desktop or laptop through to the corporate messaging solution such as Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes. Whatever the solution, the vital aspect of maintaining an anti virus solution within the enterprise is ensuring that updates that deal with the latest threats are implemented as soon as possible after their release by the software developer. Without such updates, the protection provided by the software application is seriously compromised. It is much easier to apply the update before the attack than it is to try and stop the spread of a virus once it has got into your system.
