Pests & Viruses
“It’s not just the cost of living that’s increasing! The cost of protecting your systems from senseless malicious attacks is another ever increasing cost. There are so many variants of malware (malicious software) that sneak in via conventional and unconventional methods that you need very powerful tools to fend off the attacks.
"Anti-virus software itself can be very problematic. It’s so busy trying to protect you from infection that PC performance is significantly impaired and applications are upset by its interrogation techniques. We have many customers with machines that need to be replaced, not because they’re incapable of running their applications, but because they are incapable of running the anti-virus software that’s required to protect them. It’s crazy!
"A balance can be found and the impact of anti-virus software on desktop PCs can be minimised by bolstering defences at the frontline.
"Interrogate internet and email traffic before it gets to your PC, not once it’s got there. Control your use of the internet with a server-end product like WebMarshal. Much of the spy and malware that ends up on your PCs is borne from visits to dodgy sites. Combatting spam is just as important. Spam doesn’t just invade you inbox with worthless junk and intriguing suggestions for bettering ones manhood, it’s a carrier for hidden malicious software. MailMarshal will combat this.
"No one vendor can be an expert in everything. Mother partners with two software vendors to combat malware pests - McAfee for anti-virus and Marshal for anti-spam and web-control."
