Anti-Virus Protection
Thank you for visiting Alemsec.com.
A new repository of resources, articles and recommendations for
all things to do with anti-virus protection, antivirus software, trojan
horses and all internet security.
Protecting your computer from a
virus is getting harder and harder each day. You
can’t leave your guard down for one second. Even corporate giant
Microsoft has found its own systems compromised on more than one occasion.
Remember the “good old days”, before the advent of the Internet
and downloadable programs? Life was simple then in terms of computer viruses.
With the primary way in which a virus could be transmitted being limited
to floppy disks, the ability to catch and eradicate the virus was a lot
easier. By today’s standards, it used to take quite a while before
a virus was able to infect a computer and slow down the system. The antivirus
software of that time was typically able to identify and eradicate viruses
before they caused too much damage. Additionally, computer users were pretty
savvy on how to protect themselves, in terms of scanning all floppy disks
before copying them to our desktop.
The Internet helped change all that. The Internet provided a conduit by
which viruses could move from host to host with lightening speed. No longer
could a computer user just worry about floppy disks as points of entry,
but they now had to worry about email, email attachments, peer-to-peer
file sharing, instant messaging, and software downloads. Today’s
viruses can attack through multiple entry points, spread without human
intervention, and take full advantage of vulnerabilities within a system
or program. With technology advancing everyday, and the convergence of
computers with other mobile devices, the potential of new types of threats
also increase.
Hopefully Alemsec.com can help in giving
you the knowledge and tools to prevent a least some of these viruses and
malware. We hope you enjoy this site, and wish you all the
best! Don't forget to keep checking for updates.
