Most of them are not even aware that their inaction is inviting more trouble than they can imagine.


As the Internet is growing at an unimaginable speed so are the threats to your Computers. The main goal of any Virus Jake Dotchin Lightning Jersey , essentially a malicious computer program, is to spread as rapidly as possible and in many cases cause damage to your information assets or steal information from your Computer and send it back to the creator of the virus.


Here’s a quick look at some of the typical threats to your computer.


Malicious Virus Programs: These destructive programs get installed on your PC without you being aware of it. They may remain dormant for some time before they activate their deadly agenda. Some of them are also known as Trojans. Some track your keyboard activity Braydon Coburn Lightning Jersey , some store screen shots, especially for your online banking transactions Yanni Gourde Lightning Jersey , some download more malicious code, or some simply let a hacker access to your computernetwork remotely. In short Ryan Callahan Lightning Jersey , these Trojans are programmed to ‘steal’ your confidential information and send it back to somebody with a criminal intention.

When I meet prospective client I come across standard cases which can be listed as follows:


a) Many SMEs still use FREE anti-virus software: Most SME’s tell me that someone told them that they do not need to spend money on buying anti-virus licence as there are free ‘antivirus’ programs that can be downloaded and are good enough. While these FREE antivirus programs may block only some of the threats, they cannot provide full protection as provided by reputed Antivirus solutions.


b) Preinstalled antivirus New PC’sLaptops is sufficient: It’s true that the default installation of antivirus software on new PC’s Laptops are usually valid for a trial period which expires within 3-months. When the trial or evaluation antivirus software license expire Ondrej Palat Lightning Jersey , it needs to be renewed so that your computer continue to receive the software updates which are latest antivirus signatures and software patches.

Most users forget to update the virus database which means their anti-virus program is unable to protect their PC from new Viruses which go undetected.


d) Unaware of centrally monitored anti-virus system: Most organizations that use a networked computing environment need to have an anti-virus system that can centrally monitor all the machines and devices connected to the network. In the absence of this, viruses could be easily passed around the company via emails and files without anyone realizing it.


e) Anti-virus updates not automated: As much as the virus database need to be updated Alex Killorn Lightning Jersey , even the anti-virus software needs to be updated to detect newer threat.
