How can I protect the personal computer and public network against virus ?
A virus is a piece of code that can replicate itself and spread to other computers via floppy diskettes or data communication channels such as emails. It is recommended to install a memory-resident anti-virus program to continuously monitor the microcomputer. Virus protection should also be done on servers as well. Administrators are required to install some server-based anti-virus package into the servers with proper settings. A virus scanning software should be installed into the server’s boot-up drive, and be activated at all times to prevent boot sector from infection. Administrators should also include a virus prevention and detection process into their daily routine. Of course, regular updates on the version of the virus prevention and detection software are essential to ensure the accuracy of detection and coverage for new classes of virus.
