With more than 30,000 known strains, the chances that your computer, your hand held device or even your cell phone will contract one at some point are pretty good. Virus Protection is the first line of defense to ensure a productive, secure business technology environment.
Take into account that many users don't use current anti-virus software, and that viruses can spread to your system easily from the Internet, bulletin boards, or e-mail attachments, and we're talking epidemic. Luckily, though, there are some powerful preventative measures and some equally effective antidotes once you've contracted a virus.

A virus is a piece of software that has been written to surreptitiously enter your system and "infect" your files. Some viruses are benign and won't harm your system, while others are destructive and can damage or destroy your data.

Typically a computer virus will replicate itself and try to infect as many files and systems as possible. If your system is infected, when you save a file to a disk you will probably infect the disk, and in turn whoever uses that disk will infect their system. It's a vicious cycle.

New viruses are being written all the time, and it's important to understand how your system can be exposed to them, and what can be done to protect your systems.

Most anti-virus software can be set to scan all removable media inserted in your system and to scan files that are downloaded to your system, including e-mail attachments.

A virus scan program can be set at any level and at any location from the service connected to the Internet to local server to the individual workstation.

At Metronet Systems, Inc. we understand the different solutions, and have the expertise to select the right solution for your needs and budget, while keeping your anti-virus software current.

A relatively small investment in procedures and anti-virus software is a small fee to pay in case of a major disaster resulting from virus attack.
