Antivirus |
| With computer viruses as prolific as they are (more that 200 new ones each
month) you need a good defence against them. A virus may do as little as
randomly change the font in a word document, I know it doesn't sound very
bad but it would get very irritating very quickly. On the other hand a virus
may send an email to everyone in your address list or start deleting files
from your computer. Viruses can come from many places the major ones being
files from home and emails. |

Security |
| If your company's network is connected to the internet you can be vulnerable
to hackers. With this in mind a firewall is probably a good idea. A firewall
can prevent both inbound and outbound traffic and can help prevent some
viruses from propagating. It has become a sad fact that a growing percentage
in the level of industrial espionage is conducted by employees so it is
important to have you networks file permissions set carefully. |
