Book Description
This book opens with an overview of viruses and other types of rogue software. Next comes an explanation of how the different types of known viruses operate, along with a peek into the future of virus programs. Levin then describes effective measures for preventing the spread of viruses, placing an emphasis on anti-virus policies that can be implemented in the workplace. The author also discusses policies that don't work and why they don't work. A sample corporate anti-virus policy is included that readers will be free to use or modify for their own department, businesses, etc. The book provides valuable information on hard disk management that helps minimize risks to the operating system and the integrity of data stored on the disk. The book concludes with technical information for systems managers.
Customer Reviews & Comments
This book was written before virus prevention was fashionable, yet everything in the book regarding delivery systems, methods and policies are still 100% true. I recently re-read it and find that by taking some simple precautions, your risk is minimized. (Note: This reviewer was a contributor to the book)
