Ways Computer Virus Protection Protects Your Business
Computer virus protection from CPC Office Technologies can protect you from all the icky viruses out there, but it also does more than combat bugs. Anti-virus protection is your first line of defense against a range of annoying -- and often harmful -- attacks. These include:
Viruses
Viruses can compromise your computers and everything in them in a number of ways. And, unfortunately, they are super easy to catch. Some of the methods viruses use to infiltrate your technology are:
- Files in emails
- Phishing websites
- Fake anti-virus software
- Hijacked email addresses from known senders
- Imposters posing as financial institutions
Viruses can present as annoying (pop-ups and re-routing to certain sites) or slow down your processing speeds. They have the ability to delete critical documents or corrupt files. They can cause damage that isn't reversible, and can be especially costly to recover from.
Spyware
Spyware is a particularly damaging and sophisticated software that infects your computer -- often unbeknownst to you -- and steals sensitive information. This can be incredibly detrimental to your business because of potential identity theft, financial data leaks, and more. Recovering from this kind of theft is both costly and time-consuming.
Spam
While spam is the most innocuous of these threats, it can still be very annoying, and can take time to eliminate. And, often spam comes because of a virus on your computer. Protection against viruses will also reduce the amount of spam you have to deal with. Viruses, malware, and spyware are scary threats to today's business.
