Security

In 2003 there were 6000 new viruses every week. They were looking to damage.

Today in 2008 the treat is very different. The goal today is to capture your personal details for very organised gangs to steal money on a huge scale. Today less than 1% of cyber crime involves e mail viruses. So how does it happen – read on below and I’ll tell you.
If you are relying on anti-virus software alone you are very exposed and the risk is huge.

10 years go all viruses were spread by e mail. Today the threat is very different. If you only have anti virus you are massively exposed. The main threat comes from malicious software on hacked websites. Every website should be considered a threat – even government sites have and are being hacked. The only way to be safe is to have something that checks every link on a site for validity.

Google Research

According to Google, 1 in 1000 Web pages is delivering some kind of malicious code, mainly in the form of exploits delivered by drive-by downloads. That translates to something like 70,000 poisoned pages ready and waiting to infect visitors on any given day.

Google also found that antivirus programs could not detect all of these threats. The best of them detected only 70% of the drive-by downloads. And in the case of the exploit shown in our latest video, users are actually blocked from contacting or downloading updates from antivirus companies.

The only software we recommend and are prepared to put our name to is AVG Internet Security
