Welcome!  

Today Craig’s talking about Antivirus and what is going on with it? Why are we constantly being told to buy antivirus and to use antivirus?

  • The latest ways that the bad guys try and get into our systems
  • Typical antivirus software only looks at yesterday’s threats
  • Why it can take like a month or six weeks for the antivirus software to be able to adjust itself for these new attacks
  • Antivirus software that has signatures and engines that are designed to look for what it’s already seen.

Also:

  • Half of the businesses that were polled had had successful malware attacks on them, even though they were running antivirus.
  • There is a lot of exploits going on.
  • The importance of doing updates and patches
  • Why you must uninstall apps and software you don’t need
