Virus/Spyware Protection and Removal

Protecting yourself from viruses is a war you have to wage every day. Viruses hide themselves in other files such as Word documents or spreadsheets, which when opened spread quickly throughout your network, infecting everything they contact.

Computer viruses make your computer run slowly, unexpectedly change your homepage, and spark annoying pop-up ads. Some viruses are laced with spyware. Once spyware is secretly installed on your computer, it takes over your interaction with the computer. It does more than just monitor (or interrupt) your behavior, it can also steal your browsing history, credit card numbers, or identity. Spyware can install its own software, redirect your web browsing, and change computer settings, resulting in slow connection speeds, different home pages, and/or loss of Internet or functionality of other programs.

It’s important to protect, detect and remove both viruses and spyware from your computer systems. For protection and detection, our Virus Blocker and Spyware Blocker are best-of-breed anti-virus and anti-spyware applications for businesses. As commercial applications, they make it easy for administrators to block malware at the gateway before it even touches the PCs or servers by scanning network traffic to block spyware before users can install it and protecting users in real-time from viruses. They even update automatically with new signatures every hour.

In addition, our Spyware Blocker allows you to manage your Block and Pass lists, offers a special “request pass” button to make it easy for a user to request white listing of a site at the administrator’s discretion, presents an event log showing real-time spyware detected and blocked and reports violations in summary, by detail and user.

If you’re wondering whether your network might benefit from additional virus and spyware protection, let us come in and make sure you’re protected properly.
