The challenge

Desktop PCs are an indispensable tool in companies. Integrated in networks, Internet and email traffi c, however, they are also prone to attacks by viruses, adware/spyware and other threats. Every virus detection of a PC does not only cost valuable working time. Digital attackers can also spread themselves via the network, steal confi dential information or destroy important corporate data – and thus cause considerable financial damage. In addition, companies bear responsibility for risk prevention: they are liable for damage caused as a result of insuffi cient IT security. The use of reliable professional IT security solutions minimizes this risk and is therefore indispensable for companies. However, lack of time, a shortage of personnel resources and limited budgets often stand in the way of these requirements, so that eff ective protection is not always ensured.

The solution

Avira AntiVir Professional prevents harmful software in filtrating the system and spreading. Through the integrated real-time protection against viruses, worms, Trojans, adware/spyware, dialers, rootkits, phishing and other malware, dangerous programs are immediately detected and eliminated.
