NEW THREATS FOR ANTIVIRUS


With over more than a million viruses on the Internet, it is a wild zoo out there for antivirus programs. Virus like the LoveLetter virus overwrote files and inserted viral code on hard drives around the globe two years ago and is still active today. Nimda - Concept Virus attacked ten of thousands computers world wide.

Each day there are new viruses and worms and Trojan horses attacking the computer systems around the world. In my shop I see hundreds of computers coming in monthly with viruses, worms and Trojan horses. Some of my customers have no idea that they have been attacked by these menace bugs in their systems.

With all the antivirus programs on the market, I find customers that r don’t want to spend the few extra dollars for a good antivirus program. Or they have a good program but have the updates turned off. Some customers are several months behind on updates to there antivirus definitions. If you just miss a month on updates to your antivirus system you will be exposed to hundreds of new viruses attacking your PC.

The best line of defense is to install a good antivirus program, keep it updated daily, do smart computing and make sure you back up your system on a regular basis. 3

In the near future we will be taking a look at some of the top leading antivirus programs on the market today. So stay tuned and check back often.
