Business Antivirus

The spread of viruses throughout corporate networks can cause downtime and other significant disruptions to your business operations. Many companies purchase antivirus products designed for the home environment. While these programs work well on single machines, they are not meant to operate in a business environment. Network OS can provide your company with Symantec Antivirus, which is more corporate network friendly. Among the advantages of Symantec Antivirus:

• Centrally managed antivirus definition updates
  Perhaps the leading cause of infection is having out of date definitions. Definitions tell the antivirus program what viruses to look for and are updated every few days. With Symantec Antivirus protecting your network machines will get definition updates within hours of when they come out. If a new threat is realized you can force all machines to immediately get definition updates!

• Simplified, administrator controlled client
  The end user interface for Symantec Antivirus comes with exactly what you need to protect a business environment. It automatically protects Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, and all files on your machine. More importantly, the settings are centrally controlled from the server and cannot be altered by the server. This ensures that antivirus is never uninstalled, disabled, or misconfigured by the end user.

• Automatic roll out of version updates
  Symantec Antivirus allows a single administrator to update ALL WindowsNT/2000/XP workstations directly from the server console. When a newer version of Symantec Antivirus comes out, updates are installed to all machines in minutes instead of hours. The more machines on your network, the more useful this feature.

• Run virus sweeps from the server.
  If you suspect a virus has made it through your network you can schedule a virus sweep for all workstations right from the server. This sweep can run after hours to avoid disruption to users, and the results are sent back to the server for review.
