F-Secure Antivirus Solutions
Business Owners and I.T. Managers report that Viruses and Spyware represent the number one cause of computer downtime, business interruption, and unbudgeted I.T. expenditures. Today’s viruses move freely over the Internet, exploiting un-patched vulnerabilities or human nature to infect whole networks in a matter of minutes. The cost of removing one of these viruses once it has infected a network can run into the tens of thousands of dollars or more. Despite the investments people have already made into solutions, they still seem to get infected.
The key is speed of response…
Why Does Speed Matter?
The window between the time a new virus is unleashed on the world and the time you are likely to see it has dropped at a staggering rate over the last three years. Modern viruses exploit the internet, e-mail systems, and the power of modern computers to spread at a truly astounding rate. People are not getting infected because they don’t have anti-virus software, they are getting infected because that software is not yet able to identify the virus when they receive it. Where we used to measure acceptable response rate in days, today it has to be measured in hours and minutes if your network is to be protected.

F-Secure is Consistently one of the Fastest Responders
Because F-Secure has invested in several global virus labs, and because of their timeline advantage being headquartered in Norway, they are consistently one of the first providers to successfully protect their customers from the latest viruses. When the recent Zotob worm was released, a virus that caused tremendous havoc bringing hundreds of high profile networks to their knees, F-Protect was able to protect their customers 8 Hours before Symantec, 14 Hours before Trend Micro, and an amazing 27 hours before McAfee. The pattern is repeated over and over again with virus after virus and verified by independent watchdog groups such as av-test.org. Speed means the difference between being protected or being infected with today’s dynamic internet borne threats
