Service Spotlight - Virus Removal |
|
Malicious Code has become increasingly complex and
infections involve more system elements than ever before. Computing
Advantage has tools to automatically conduct what would often amount
to extensive and tedious manual removal tasks. If your system has
become infected, the tools we have should repair the damage.

No operating system or application is vulnerable to
malicious programs unless external programs, no matter how simple, can
be launched. If an external program, even the simplest, can be launched
within an operating system or application, then it will be vulnerable to
malicious programs. Most contemporary operating systems and applications
need to work with other programs, so they do end up being vulnerable.
Potentially vulnerable OS and applications include:
- All popular desktop operating systems
- Most office applications
- Most graphical editors
- Project applications
- Any applications with in-built script language
Computer viruses, worms, Trojans have been written for
countless operating systems and applications. On the other hand, there
are still numerous OSs and applications that are free from malware so
far. Why is this so? What makes one OS more attractive to virus writers
than others?
Malware appears in any given environment when the
following criteria are met:
- The operating system is widely used
- Reasonably high-quality documentation is
available
- The targeted system is insecure or has a number
of documented vulnerabilities
All three criteria are key factors and all three need
to be met before the given system will be targeted by virus writers.
At Computing Advantage, we can help you understand
what you need to do to protect your computer against malware. |
