Viruses
Viruses bring a host
of administrative headaches and software conflicts, along with
reduced system performance. Despite this most organisations
still rely on maintenance intensive desktop anti-virus software.
This effectively puts network security in the hands of the end
user. All they need to do is open a copy of an infected .exe
email attachment, for example, and a virus can stay on your
server to re-infect again and again. Your system will then be
a base for infecting people you email, including your clients
and suppliers !
The best way of stopping a virus from spreading is to intercept
it before it ever reaches you. Link-Connect's Corporate Anti-Virus
service does just that. It stops viruses before they get to
your user's desktop and before they can infect your network.
How does it work?
The Link-Connect Corporate Anti-Virus Service is a server-based
virus-protection system that scans all incoming and outgoing
e-mail for viruses. Viruses get blocked before they ever get
to user machines. You e-mail is redirected through our server,
both inbound and outbound. You receive e-mail that's free of
known viruses and you can be assured that you are not emailing
anything untoward to anyone else.
Because this is a server-side application, Link-Connect runs,
maintains and updates the software for you. You have no software
on your system to slow down workstation performance. When a
virus is discovered, it is automatically quarantined with the
email it came with. The sender then receives an email warning
that they have just sent a virus. The recipient also receives
a notice that a virus has been intercepted.
What are the benefits?
- Cost effective. Server based scanning can eliminate 99.9% of
your e-mail virus problems and reduce your overall anti-virus
maintenance costs at the same time.
- Our virus server is automatically updated to protect against
new viruses so you have no need to keep up with the latest downloads.
- Always on, 24 x 365 protection.
- Externally controlled. Users & administrators cannot disable
the protection on their own.
- You have no desktop software to run, update, or worry about.
- Firewall friendly. The service does not affect any firewall
that you may have.
- System friendly. It works for you no matter what email system
or operating system you may be running.
