Business Computer Support 101: Virus Protection

While there is no agreement on the exact cost of computer viruses each year, all authorities agreed that the annual business impact of viruses exceeds one billion dollars. A computer virus can effectively shut down an entire computer network in a manner of seconds. Recovering from such an infestation can take hours or even days and generally includes extensive data loss. With 70 to 100 new viruses appearing each day, it is imperative that your business take steps to prevent virus infestations.

Most computer users are familiar with Symantec’s Norton Antivirus and McAfee’s Antivirus. These are the leading providers of home virus protection. Chances are your PC came with one of these suites. However, each must have its subscription maintained to ensure that the latest virus definitions are available. Monitoring a small office to ensure that each subscription is paid can quickly become a logistical nightmare. To avoid this, consider a site license with a single renewal date and complete coverage.
