Internet Security
Reduce Your Vulnerability

Virus
Computer viruses are programs that "infect" computers. They get installed without the computer owner's knowledge and are malicious in nature. They attack computer vulnerabilities and they often spawn "worms". Worms are self replicating programs that tie up computers or entire networks of computers. They will attempt to spread behind the scenes without the owner's knowledge through many channels, like network connections and email.

All computers that access the internet and receive emails are in risk of getting a virus . We recommend purchasing virus protection software and keeping it up to date.

Below is a list of industry standard virus protection products.
