AntiVirus

A computer 'virus' is a type of computer program, much like any other, except that it usually has the ability to damage your data. Indeed, it is usually designed to do just that. Why? Well, there are lots of people about who think nothing of causing problems for other people. No doubt some will even think that if you haven't taken steps to protect yourself, you deserve what you get. So, they write the program, and these days they usually disguise it so that it can be delivered to you in a way you won't notice - such as an e-mail attachment. You look at the mail, open the attachment to see what it is, and... your computer is 'infected' and your data is at risk.

It is impossible to stop all viruses, but modern software can stop 99.99% of them - and any it doesn't know about today, it almost certainly will know about within a week. When your anti-virus system is installed, it can be regularly updated over the Internet, on a daily basis if necessary, to keep it as fully up-to-date as possible.

There are a number of well-known vendors of email-virus scanning software - McAfee, Sophos, Norton, Trend, Panda...

Which one to use? Which vendor has the best record?

Just installing a package is not the end. For these products to be effective one must keep the virus signatures up to date. Whenever a new virus is released on the Internet, you will be checking with your vendor to see if they know about it, and if they have new virus signatures for you to download.

Antivirus Solutions for Email

Why not stop email viruses before they even get to your offices?

Our technique diverts your in-bound email to a specially built virus scanning host. This host uses four independent commercial virus scanners in sequence - IBM, Command, McAfee and Norton. If any of the scanners detects a virus, the email is "quarantined", and you are informed that a virus was detected and who the sender was.

Virus detection is a re-active situation. Someone somewhere must be effected by any new virus, and commercial vendors must react quickly to detect a signature and distribute the new signature to the public.
