Broadband and Antivirus Software
|
| With ever more sophisticated viruses and combined
threats, antivirus software is an essential addition to every user's computer.
Equally essential, is keeping the software up to date. This can
be as often as daily updating if necessary, certainly checking for updates several
times a week is a must. |
|
| This is because automatic updating of antivirus
software began to be exploited recently by virus writers who
realised that automatic updating was usually only
occurring once a week. They then waited for an automatic update to occur, then
released a new virus the following day, giving the virus five to six days to
spread to vulnerable machines. |
|
| With dial-up, updating antivirus definitions
regularly can be a real chore, taking on average, around 15 - 20 minutes each
time there is an update. This can lead to irregular updating and poor computer
security. |
|
| Using broadband, updating your antivirus definitions
takes little more than a few seconds, literally. One more reason to switch to
broadband now! |
