Virus Protection

When viruses are released they cause incalculable distress across the world by bombarding email inboxes and computers with virus infections. The “I Love You Virus”, for example, cost consumers and businesses an estimated $1.7 Billion in damage to their computers, lost time, and diminished productivity.

Anti-Virus Software
One of the smartest things you can do as a home or business PC user is to be vigilant in your use of antivirus software. If you don’t have anti-virus software, then stop right now and call AnswerSmart™ right now at 877-883-TECH (8324) and find out about getting it.

The leading antivirus programs are Symantec’s Norton Antivirus and McAfee Virus scan. But the fact that they are leading in sales does by no means mean these are the right programs for you.  Please call us to discuss all of the many options. 

Whichever anti-virus programs you ultimately select, it must be set to Scan incoming email and files AND it must do a full scan of your computer at least once a week.  We can not emphasize this point enough.  Anti-Virus software is like having doors on your house.  Without them it’s a certainty that you will encounter problems sooner or later with crime.

Because new viruses created and distributed every day you must keep your anti-virus software up-to-date. Most anti-virus software is a subscription based license but not all. To select the best kind of software for yourself consult one of the AnswerSmart™ technicians at 877-883-TECH (8324).  We typically recommend choosing an automatic update option so your software can check your company’s Web server regularly for new viruses and will install the updates without any effort from you.
