Computer & Network Security: Two Anti Virus Strategies
Rootkits and advanced spyware have fundamentally changed the playing field says Mike Danseglio, Program Manager in the Security Solutions group at Microsoft, according to Fox News’ “Microsoft Official: Malware Recovery Not Always Possible” by Ryan Naraine, reporting from InfoSec World on
April 5th, 2006. “When you are dealing with rootkits and some advanced spyware programs, the only solution is to rebuild from scratch. In some cases, there really is no way to recover without nuking the systems from orbit,” states Mr. Danseglio.
He cites a recent instance where an unnamed branch of the U.S. government struggled to design an automated process to wipe and rebuild 2,000 infected client machines. “In that case, it was so severe that trying to recover was meaningless.” While training costs can be high, they pale in comparison to the mounting expenses incurred by detecting damage, recovering lost work and rebuilding compromised systems–let alone “nuking” and starting all over again from scratch.

An Overview of Computer Network Security
The realm of computer networking has allowed efficient communication between various computing devices such as computers, servers, mainframes and peripheral devices such as printers, scanners etc. Once a computer becomes a part of a network, it is possible to share information and data easily and with minimum hassle. However, this data sharing has given rise to a host of security issues and thus computer network security is one of the most highly talked about topics these days. In actual, the computers in a network are always at the risk of unauthorized access from hackers in the network. A prime example of this is the Internet where insufficient security measures can lead to your valuable and highly confidential information being stolen.
Considering the increasing number of Internet crimes and an even greater need for privacy and strict security; a number of network security software are now available in the market, which can help protect your computers. This software has been designed to provide computers with network security by scanning and detecting any potential security risks in your computer. The detected files are then accessed by the program and corrected (if possible).
