Virus – What is it?
• The first viruses to appear were small programs made to do nothing with Your computer, but to have fun with it, no harm intended.
• Today a virus is a sofisticated piece of software with a built-in SMTP server designed to spread itself, it can shut down Your anti-virus software and send Your personal passwords to a fixed location on the Internet.
• Today computerviruses are a serious securityproblem, it’s not for fun anymore, only harmful and destructive behavior is considered a succes with a virusdesigner.

• Do You know anyone who has recieved a virus?

When a virus breaks out?
• You loose critical data, employee hours and the good reputation of Your company.
• The company’s efficiency is also affected, ie. The production could be slowed down or in some cases shut down.
• Loss of incoming orders can also be a disaster for the company. What would happen if Your company didn’t have e-mail for 5 days?
• Furthermore You will also have expenses and use resources cleaning and restoring the infected computers.

Don’t let the enemy insideIf Your anti-virus software isn’t up to date, the virus could already be inside Your network
Loss of imageIf You’ve had a virus outbreak, the probability of the virus spreading itself through Your contactlist is very high. .

The trouble with e-mail security
98% of all virus is spread through e-mail.
Traditionel anti-virus software has only 1 scanner.
Traditional anti-virus software is first active after the virus has entered Your company network.
Your company is responsible for updating, maintaining and licensing the anti-virus software.
mailFence presentation Slide no. 11
Why not settle for 1 scanner?
• Anti-virus software must constantly be updated and improved to keep up with the virusdesigners.
• The software has to prepare for virus in compressed files, virus being launched from code (ex. HTML) and other new ways to launch a virus.
• Independent tests done every month have shown, that a single anti-virus software product doesn’t get a top rating several months in a row. *1
• No antivirus software promises 100% virussecurity!
*1: According to independent tests fra ICSA Labs, West Coast Labs, Virus Bulletin, AV-Test.org, Virus TestCenter
