What is a Virus?

 

  • A virus is a small piece of software that piggybacks on real programs.
  • An email virus  travels as an attachment and usually replicates itself by automatically mailing itself to dozens of people in the victims e-mail address book.
  • Regular monitoring and detection blocks and prevents a computer virus from activating.

Unplanned Outages

As companies grow they become more and more dependent on their computer systems. I have found many companies can do much more to prevent downtime. Strategic planning and well thought out system can save multiple thousands of dollars that can result from outages.

Per Symantec “An IT outage costs SMBs an average of $12,500 per day while their computers are down, not including its effect on their customers”, that is a bold statement, but the message is clear.  Protect your IT investment!

System monitoring with backups and recovery plans in place are critical in today’s environment.
