BSI are partners with F-Secure
one of the Top Security Companies in the Business. Therefore by
working with you to identify your Anti Virus and Network Security
requirements, BSI can offer you the most suitable product to ensure
that your systems remain protected from the threat of a virus
outbreak or malware infestation. Those who are regularly on the Internet are at greater risk. Viruses/malware/spyware can generate so much fear in the cyber community that news of the incident itself can get around faster than the virus through cyber channels such as social networking sites and e-mail. But what is a computer virus? A computer virus is a parasitic program that is designed to generate itself and alter the way your computer functions. Of course, the point is for you not to find out until it is too late. They incorporate themselves into executable files on your computer. Since it is possible to put strings of program commands, called macros, in certain kinds of data files (like Microsoft Word document (.doc) files), these files can also be infected with viruses. So far, viruses have been found in MS-Word (.doc) and MS-Excel (.xls) files. Other types of viruses attach themselves to boot records, which contain information your computer needs to start. Viruses can infect other files and pass to other computers without being seen. This happens until a point when the program decides to release the damaging part, called the payload, a destructive sequence activated on a certain trigger. The trigger may be the arrival of a particular date or an action by the user. The effect of this payload can be anything as benign as some harmless message appearing on screen to as frightening as the destruction of the disk drive’s boot record, making it completely unusable and in most cases completely irreparable.
