Scottsbluff, NE (PRWEB) November 29, 2012
We wanted to better protect our customers from virus and malware threats on the Internet, says Landon Clark, Bytes Computer and Network Solutions Network Specialist. Its important for us to stay on-top of protection because we are taking on the job of managing that for our customers. The company recently added Resident Shield to their PC Complete Care computer cleanup and protection package along with daily, rather than weekly, system scans.
It would appear they have good reason to do so. According to the most recent Microsoft Security Intelligence Report, vulnerabilities, or weaknesses in software, applications and web browsers that enable an attacker to compromise the systems running them, have increased 11.3 percent since the second half of 2011. Exploits, or the malicious codes that target these vulnerabilities, have also increasedparticularly those delivered through HTML and JavaScript on infected web pages.
While the PC Complete Care product has resulted in a tremendous reduction in the number of customers infected, we still had few who were accidentally getting malware on their machines, says Clark. Initially, we only scanned once a week to keep customers computer speed as high as possible. However, we discovered the scan doesnt utilize many resourcesit doesnt make the computer slowso we moved to daily scans. Its all about balancing performance and maintenance.
Resident Shield is another upgrade to the PC Complete Care protection package. Its a lightweight scanner that monitors activity and downloads on the computer for potential threats, Clark says. It uses heuristics technology, meaning it assesses files for the common behaviors and attributes associated with malware instead of relying on malware definitions alone.
Once again, this puts Bytes Computer and Network Solutions at the head of the class. Resident Shield will keep us a step ahead in detecting those zero-day viruses that may not have a definition yet, says Clark. PC Complete Care offers all the maintenance, protection, monitoring, and computer help support a home computer user needs. Its the ultimate fix and prevention toolwe just have to make people aware of it.
