Methods for avoiding Viruses, Trojans and Worms

Our antivirus solutions protect you from threats at number of levels:

Email scanning
Emails are scanned and dealt with at the email server. This means that any virus will never get as far as the recipient’s PC.

On-Access file scanning
Files are scanned when the user or operating system tries to gain access. Any threat is cleaned or removed as necessary.

Suspicious behaviour
All antivirus software relies on signature files downloaded from the manufacturer. This creates a significant gap between a new virus being discovered and computers being protected. The most recent antivirus packages use Suspicious Behaviour Monitoring to take action when virus-like behaviour occurs instead of scanning for individual viruses.

Monitoring
Antivirus is ineffective if it is out of date or not operating correctly. Both you and it3000 need to be informed of any software problem.

Microsoft Updates
Microsoft constantly work to repair any security breaches in their software. it3000 implement update strategies for our clients.

It is important to mention that antivirus software can never guarantee to stop every single attack. New viruses are created frequently and it takes all software a little time to “learn” new threats.

Costs
Antivirus software manufacturers generally charge for the initial software followed by an annual maintenance/update fee. it3000 discuss all options and costs with our clients before committing them to a particular product.
