Why is there a need for Antivirus?
In an age when technology is so ubiquitous that it is almost taken for granted, antivirus software plays an important role in protecting computer systems. Despite their innocent sounding names (Loveletter, Klez, Prettypark,etc.), viruses,trojans,worms and other forms of malicious programs wreak havoc and cause tremendous losses:
- Time lost and costs of repair, restore systems and recover data
- Loss of employee confidence
- Loss of valuable information and communications
- Loss of productivity
- Miss critical deadlines
- Damage to customer confidence and loyalty
- Bad publicity and damage to your reputation
- Loss of revenue and market share
- Regulatory penalties
Estimates of the damage caused each year by malicious computer programs run as high as 55 billions.
