Virus Guard
What are viruses?
Viruses are pieces of malicious code designed
to enter your PC without your permission and go into action unnoticed.
Once inside, they can replicate and distribute themselves along your
personal network and beyond, causing damage to your files and erasing
your data.
Stay productive
The most common ways a virus can be spread are
via macros and executable files. These typically enter your PC or
network as e-mail attachments. Viruses caused damage in excess of $10
billion worldwide in 2003 alone, so virus protection is vital to
productivity.
