Viruses
After a 3 year lull, 2003/2004 marked
the return of the computer virus . With new strains of
ultra-clever and dangerous viruses appearing throughout the year now is
certainly the time to make sure you have virus prevention measures
in place.
At any one time there are up to 50 different computer viruses in
circulation in Shetland. For a home user, getting infected
can cause un-wanted system problems and inconvenience.
For the business user
however, a virus infection is an altogether more serious issue.
Many newer viruses will send out copies of random documents and emails
from your computer or network to any email address it can find on your
computer. How would you feel if your customers or suppliers received
a spreadsheet with your cost prices? Or everyone in your
organisation received details of directors pay? These are just some of the
things that can and do happen in Shetland, as
with elsewhere, and can be a financial disaster.
ITS has almost ten years experience of dealing with the
virus threat to your organisation. From the simplest DOS viruses of 1994 to the
virulent mutating internet viruses of 2005.
However it's not all doom and
gloom. With the correct anti-virus software, firewalls and
procedures, the virus threat to your organisation can be virtually
eliminated . From single machines to server based network,
we provide the solutions to protect you.
By having an ITS network engineer secure your internet
connection with a firewall, setup an automatic anti-virus
system to provide daily "vaccines" against new
viruses and ensure you have a suitable data backup procedure in
place, you can virtually eliminate the upheaval viruses have caused so many.
Spyware
Spyware is the viruses
little known cousin. This is software which installs itself
onto your machine or is installed by otherwise benign software (games, music
players, etc), monitors your web browsing habits and reports
these back to a central location, mainly for the purposes of targeting
advertising. Apart from the obvious invasion of privacy,
a very high percentage of these are very poorly written and
can cause all sorts of system problems - system crashes, slow performance
and data corruption. Using Spyware removal tools, we will
eliminate this menace from your system and repair any damage
caused.
