Use anti-virus software
Install anti-virus software on all of your desktops and servers, and ensure they are kept up to date. Because new viruses can spread extremely quickly, it is important to have an updating infrastructure in place which can update all the computers in your company seamlessly, frequently, and at short notice.
There are several Anti Virus systems that can be automatically updated, ensuring the latest virus and spyware protection is in place against the latest threats even when your office
is unmanned.
And don't forget to protect your laptop computers and desktop computers used by home workers. Ensure they are running up-to-date virus protection as viruses, worms and spyware can easily use these devices to enter your business. Anti Virus software can ensure that your laptop and remote workforce are automatically updated with the latest virus protection every time they connect to the internet or your network.
Spyware and Adware
Spyware installs itself onto a user's computer by stealth, subterfuge and/or social engineering and sends information from that computer to a third party without the user's permission
or knowledge.
Spyware includes keyloggers, backdoor Trojans, password stealers, and botnet worms, which cause corporate data theft, financial loss and network damage.
Protection from spyware is an integral feature of our integrated security solutions, and is detected in the same way as viruses, Trojans and worms.
Adware displays advertising - such as pop-up messages - which affects user productivity and system efficiency. Although many people view adware as undesirable, it is also a key component of a business model that can bring value to consumers in exchange for
receiving advertisements.
