Antivirus/Spyware/Malware
Barely a week goes by without reading something in the national news about computer viruses and their detrimental effects. No organisation is now safe from virus attack, no matter what size the company might be. Studies have shown that smaller organisations are a higher risk. Many of the larger businesses have started to take the threat very seriously, and are investing millions of pounds on antivirus strategy.
As soon as a new virus breaks, you are likely to get it very quickly if your PC and network is unprotected. These infections come from an e-mail attachments or simply by browsing the Web. You may not realise it until your computers start malfunctioning of behaving strangely.
Most viruses can be cleaned from your system, however the time taken and the cost incurred can be high and avoidable. That is why it is better to protect yourself in the first place.
Speak to Open IP today about our extensive range of Antivirus solutions that are updated constantly to keep up with the growing and emerging threats. We have products that cover a single machine right through to enterprise solutions for all sizes of networks.
Spyware
Spyware is a type of harmful applications that are generally distributed through browsing the Internet. Normally Spyware is installed without the user even knowing about it by attaching itself onto what seems a harmless download.
In our experience nearly all computers are found to have some form of spyware on them and in many cases multiple spyware applications are present.
Once a piece of spyware is installed it gathers information from the infected computer, this includes information about the PC itself, personal and sensitive information about the user, and the network the PC is sat on. This personal information is then transmitted over the Internet connection without the user’s explicit consent or knowledge.
Open IP provide professional and enterprise-wide solutions that detect, prevent, and remove Spyware prior to them reaching your network. Because new Spyware applications are constantly emerging, our solutions are automatically and regularly updated with new signatures.
Malware
Along with viruses, one of the biggest threats to computer users on the Internet today is malware. It can hijack your browser, redirect your search attempts, serve up nasty pop-up ads, track what web sites you visit, and generally screw things up. Malware programs are usually poorly-programmed and can cause your computer to become unbearably slow and unstable in addition to all the other havoc they wreak.
Many of them will reinstall themselves even after you think you have removed them, or hide themselves deep within Windows, making them very difficult to clean.
Open IP will take preventative steps to ensure that these threats are minimal. We also have expert engineers who can clean your computer and networks of infection.
