Abstract: There is no single
antivirus engine on the market today that is the fastest and most effective at identifying viruses, spam, or other threats. According to a recent survey, 97 percent of organizations have
antivirus software installed, yet 65 percent have been infected at one time or another since. One way to reduce the chance of virus infection is to install multiple
antivirus scanners at the mail server level.

Abstract: Computer viruses are spreading through the Internet at an unprecedented rate and the antivirus market is now a $3 billion (USD) a year industry. This report measures the financial health and product quality of four key industry players: Symantec, McAfee, Computer Associates, and Trend Micro.
Abstract: In recent years, the rapid succession of virus attacks has created an intense security environment. The capacity for quick response to new anti-virus attacks is a critical component of any organization’s security plan. Antivirus scans are significantly faster on desktop systems with regularly defragmented files and free space—which means that using software to automatically keep systems defragmented should not be overlooked.
Abstract: In crisis situations, Trend Micro's Virus Information Center for the Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) may prove indispensable for a network administrator and/or manager on the go.
Abstract: The threats faced by small to medium businesses (SMBs) are multidimensional and must be handled differently from big enterprises, given the smaller number of personnel dedicated to look after them. The ideal security software for SMBs looking to protect their information systems would be the combination of antivirus, antispam, and content security solutions, combined with a powerful network firewall. Find out why it works.
Abstract: Despite the defensive efforts of firewalls, intrusion detection, antivirus solutions, and the like, criminals, careless employees, and contractors have exposed more than 158 million digital records of consumers personally identifiable information since 2005. With this critical need for stronger network security, Qualys has developed an on-demand solution that effectively manages these vulnerabilities.
Abstract: Malware attacks have reached unprecedented levels—to the point where antivirus labs cannot keep up with the sheer volume. What are the current malware dynamics, and how far-reaching is their impact? More importantly, what is the state of technological solutions to address the issue?
Abstract: The problems caused by malware and malicious code in the form of rootkits and Trojans are multiplying everyday. These pervasive problems have created a new industry of antivirus and anti-spyware software. Blacklist-based software is one of the most common response solutions. However, the relatively new approach of whitelist-based software is a simple and secure option for total system control.
Abstract: How many times do you hear network administrators scream at the top of their voice, 'I have spent millions of dollars buying expensive and the best antivirus software solutions and yet every two months, when a new virus strikes, I have my entire network go down!' This is a common complaint you will get to hear from one and all network administrators, primarily because most security vendors today concentrate more on a 'reactive' approach to stop virus attacks, than a “preventive” approach!
