Anti-virus Measures 

Virus protection is a critical tenant of an effective Data and Network Security Strategy. 

Although viruses are most commonly transmitted via email, they can also inadvertently be introduced when downloading infected Internet content or when a workstation is connected to any storage device like a memory stick, CD or MP3 player. To counter these sources of potential threat, Online Support adopts a bilateral approach to virus protection 
focusing on:

	Online Email Virus and Scanning
	Desktop Anti-virus Software

Online Email Virus and SPAM Scanning

Most viruses enter a company's network via email. Even with anti-virus software installed, infections can still occur when the software is not kept up to date or is not functioning properly. Online Support eliminates this threat by providing an online email virus scanning service. 

In practice this means that any email sent to you will be diverted via our virus and SPAM scanning servers on the Internet, ensuring that it is verified as 'clean' before it even reaches your company's network. Similarly, any email you send will be scanned by our servers before it is delivered to its intended recipient.

Desktop Anti-virus

For non-email borne viruses, current and effective desktop anti-virus software is essential. In combination with Sophos, the leading UK anti-virus vendor, we offer fully automated desktop anti-virus solutions. Online Support offer fully automated desk top anti-virus solutions. We manage, maintain and update anti virus protection across all of your workstations to ensure you have the latest and most effective anti-virus protection on every PC.
