The last several years, have seen
an exponential increase in the number of new viruses, worms,
spyware and adware. Currently,
300 to 600 new viruses appear each month, which corresponds to
10 or 20 new viruses per day. These new viruses, worms and
spyware are becoming
increasingly sophisticated in the way they spread and infect
machines.
According to Trend Micro, in 2001
viruses, worm and spyware cost businesses $13 billion, in 2002 the cost rose to $20 - $30 billion and in 2003 viruses,
worm and spyware cost a record $55
billion in
damages.
The
Internet’s ever-growing popularity and the steady adoption of
“always on” broadband technologies have allowed viruses, worms,
spyware and adware to spread
quickly. |

Now more than ever, it is
important to defend every computer in an organization against
viruses, worms and spyware in the most effective manner possible as a part of an
overall network security strategy.
The
world wide web, e-mail capability, and other Internet tools have
provided new avenues for communication and the exchange of
information, but have brought along hordes of new virus, worm
and spyware
problems.
