Anti-Virus_________________________
Issue:
Computer virus is a piece of malicious program which is able to affect the normal operation of a computer system, both of them may cause damage to the host. But there is at least one difference: computer viruses are created by human while biological viruses are not. When a virus strikes, the results range from merely annoying screen displays to disastrous and extensive data corruption. With the growing popularity of microcomputers, the threat of virus should definitely not be negligible.
Solution:
New viruses are being developed every day. New techniques may render existing preventive measures insufficient. The only truth in virus and anti-virus field is that there is no absolute security. However, we can minimize the damage by identifying virus infections before they carry out their payload. The following lists some ways to detect virus infections:
- Gateway Level
- Scans all major messaging protocols
- Advanced Content Filtering
- Policy-Based Control with extended Policy Support
- Reporting
- Desktop Level
- Offload the Burden of Managing Anti-Virus
- Centralized Management
- Automatic Distribution of Virus Updates
- Logging
