When a new virus is discovered, this software analyzes the virus, creates an inoculation, and then redistributes it to computers retrieving updates. The commercial version of Norton Anti-Virus is a server module and designed to provide a multipoint integrated defense of a network. When the first visual basic script viruses came out many servers had to be shut down because the viruses were propagating faster than the anti-virus programs could clean them up. On NAV protected servers that Codisys3 manages, the multi-point defense caught the viruses at the workstation and server simultaneously after Symantec issued its update within 24 hours of the outbreak resulting in no downtime or viruses on the networks we manage. This is in contrast to many companies that were down for as long as 10 days trying to clean up these problems d
