| A computer system that has a connection with the Internet or has contact with the rest of the world in some other way needs a virus scanner. The effects of virusses vary from a harmless joke to slowing down your computer, the deleting or corrupting of data, sharing your sensitive data with the rest of the world or granting hackers access to your computer. Virusses spread mostly through e-mails and programs, and every day new ones come out. Most virusses are written for popular operating systems, and older versions of software tend to have security problems, so make sure you always have a working virus scanner with the latest virus definitions installed on your computer and preferably also the latest version of your operating system of choice. |

eTrust® PestPatrol® Anti-Spyware Corporate Edition r8 provides powerful protection from spyware, hacker tools, non-viral malware, as well as annoying pests like adware that can drastically diminish PC performance and can expose confidential information. eTrust PestPatrol complements traditional security defenses including antivirus, firewall and intrusion detection technologies to provide a key component of a multi-layered security strategy.
Features and Benefits
- Real-Time Alerts. When pests are found, eTrust PestPatrol generates an alert, logs the event and lets you remove the pests from your computer or network in real-time. It allows the definition of “safe lists” and files can be added to an exclude list for individual users or by department to help prevent false alarms.
- Automated Pest Updates. Automated updates are pushed to your desktops with new pest definition files that provide protection against the most current security risks.
- Deployment for any sized organization. eTrust PestPatrol is built upon a redundant multi-tier architecture that scales to manage large populations of users from a single management console.
- Central Logging and Reporting. Pest detection reports are consolidated for improved management and problem isolation. Reports can be created based on workstation, date/time, security risk priority and pest category, or on specific pests to assist with risk evaluation.
- Improved PC and System Performance. By detecting and thoroughly removing spyware, eTrust PestPatrol helps increase productivity and eliminate wasted bandwidth, allowing you to put focus back on business-related issues. For example, one computer compromised by as little as two adware applications could take more than 14 minutes to boot. Assuming that your employees reboot their computers daily and work five days a week for 50 weeks, every employee with a compromised machine could lose nearly 60 hours a year simply waiting for his or her computer to start.
