Computer Virus Protection in New York and New Jersey

When you receive a notification about your computer’s antivirus software, you might dismiss it without a second thought. But virus protection is crucial, especially for businesses. Once a virus spreads throughout your network, it can lead to unexpected downtime and service interruptions, or even cause you to lose customers. Regardless of your industry, you need to have a plan in place to prevent cybersecurity threats like viruses.

At Tekie Geek, we offer managed IT services with extensive security protection. Our customers in New York and New Jersey know they can count on us for protection against viruses and other threats. With 24/7/365 monitoring, we detect and contain viruses before they spread. Learn more about our computer virus protection solutions and other services.

What Is a Computer Virus?

Computer viruses are a type of malware – a program or code designed to harm a computer or system. A computer virus creates copies of itself to spread to other parts of a network. The goal of a virus usually is to disrupt a system to gain access to private data, whether it’s customer records, financial information, or other files.

These viruses can be transmitted via email, software packs, downloadable files, or other host applications. They require some kind of action from an end user to spread, such as clicking a link in an email or opening an infected attachment. Phishing scams, for example, often look like legitimate emails. By convincing a user to provide their credentials, click a link, or download a file, these social engineering attacks can be used to spread viruses.

Thus, preventing computer viruses requires a good software solution that scans your entire system and removes suspicious files. But you also need to invest in your human capital: training employees to recognize and report potential viruses can help stop attacks before they take down your whole network.
