VIRUS PROTECTION

Is it a Virus or a Hoax? Hoaxes are dangerous. They can be virtually as damaging and certainly as costly as the viruses they claim to be. They flood mail servers, slow down networks and waste countless hours of home users and companies time.

Your company needs to have a security policy--who handles the virus software updates? What are you to do if your virus software indicates you have a virus? A virus SWAT TEAM needs to be established for you. Someone on staff that is trained or a company that handles your security should be called.

Virus software will not protect you from a virus if you do not keep your virus software updated at least monthly. This needs to be done so that cures for the latest newest viruses can be included when scanning your computer files.
