Most
modern viruses are transmitted by email, often appearing to
come from people you know. Many viruses take advantage of flaws
in email clients such as Outlook and Outlook Express, and can
infect your computer even if you don't open the infected email.
Having antivirus software installed on your computer is a good
start, but you must still download an infected email in order
for your desktop antivirus software to find it. You also must
install and update antivirus software on every computer which
is used to check email in order for it to be effective.
Absolute
Internet offers server side email scanning so that viruses are
detected and eliminated before they reach your computer! We
update our software regularly, to ensure that we can protect
against the newest viruses. Since virus infections can originate
from other sources, it's still a good idea to run desktop antivirus
software, but utilizing Absolute Internet's server side virus
scanning will eliminate the most likely source of infection
before it has a chance to reach you. Call: 768-1861 for more
information.
