How Viruses Attack?

Virus threats today have become more complicated. They tend to use multiple vectors to spread, thus increasing their chances of infection. Once they have infected the systems, these threats tend to show little to no symptoms so they can survive undetected.  

The following are examples of common threats:

Vulnerabilities

Vulnerabilities are flaws in computer software that create weaknesses in the overall security of the computer or network. Vulnerabilities can also be created by improper computer or security configurations. Threats exploit the weaknesses of vulnerabilities resulting in potential damage to the computer or personal data.

Discount Network Services is notified upon the discovery of a new vulnerability, and immediate action is taken to protect your business from the infection.  We develop custom security settings applied to your file servers and propagated across all other computers in you network. 

Spyware

Spyware can be downloaded from Web sites, email messages, instant messages, and from direct file-sharing connections. Additionally, a user may unknowingly receive spyware by accepting an End User License Agreement from a software program.  Discount Network Services implements real time system scanning monitoring incoming / outgoing email messages and files to eliminate any threat prior to infecting the network.

SPAM

Email spam is the electronic version of junk mail. It involves sending unwanted messages to a large number of recipients, often unsolicited advertising. Spam is a serious security concern as it can be used to deliver Trojan horses, viruses, worms, spyware, and targeted phishing attacks.   Spam also congests email servers affecting your overall email functionality.

Malware

Malware is a category of malicious code that includes viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. Destructive malware will utilize popular communication tools to spread, including worms sent through email and instant messages, Trojan horses dropped from web sites, and virus-infected files downloaded from peer-to-peer connections. Malware will also seek to exploit existing vulnerabilities on systems making their entry quiet and easy.

Phishing

Phishing is essentially an online con game and phishers are nothing more than tech-savvy con artists and identify thieves. They use SPAM, malicious Web sites, email messages and instant messages to trick people into divulging sensitive information, such as bank and credit card accounts.
