When a virus is introduced to a computer system, it can attach itself to, or sometimes even replace, an existing program. Thus, when the user runs the program in question, the virus is also executed. This usually happens without the user being aware of it. A computer virus is a malicious program which has a primary objective to spread from computer to computer, annoying users, and possibly destroying data. The best example would be a parasite that replicates itself. On microcomputers, there are three major types, boot infectors, program viruses, and macro viruses. Computer viruses often infect many programs on the same system or even parts of the operating system in an attempt to spread them as far as possible, virus will usually execute when it is loaded into a computer’s memory. On execution, it instructs its host program to copy the viral code into any number of other programs and files stored in the computer. The corrupted programs may continue to perform their intended functions while also executing the virus’s instructions, thus further propagating it. The infection may transfer itself to other computers through storage devices, computer networks, and on-line systems.
By using products designed specifically for smaller affordable networks and combining those with a simplified, “no frills” service offering, we are able to provide SME’s with affordable, reliable networks. The SME service bundle is designed for companies of 75 employees or less, with no more than 2 servers.
