Viruses cause problems. Nobody wants to get a virus, but many companies don’t feel the need to invest in virus software. Using our extensive knowledge, experience and proactive methods, we will protect your company.

Keep it current
Your virus software must be kept up to date. It should automatically connect to the Internet at least once a day and download the latest virus definitions. This will protect your computer from all known viruses.

Configuration
Make sure your virus software is configured to scan all incoming e-mails and to scan on demand. It must also be configured for heuristic scanning. This feature enables the virus software to detect possible unknown viruses based on the behaviour of a section of code in a file.

Schedule regular virus scans
Even if you are confident your system is protected, you should still schedule regular scans of your computer. You never know if a virus might have found a way in.

You can never be fully protected
Viruses are released every month. Hardly a month goes by when you do not hear about a virus attack on the news. If you receive a new, unknown virus, then the software may not detect it, even if ‘heuristic scanning’ is enabled. Remember this when you open attachments.

Training
Train your employees on how to spot a virus and what to do when they receive an e-mail attachment that looks unusual. Unknown viruses are a constant threat, so use training to improve your chances of not getting infected.
